Hi, I didn't found any thread about this topic....

I want to know what is the lightest android version and what you will recommend?

Some other trick or free apps to make consume less battery? and make p880 flowing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mypetocean:
Okay, so I waited patiently for Lollipop to drop on the Z Ultra C6833 in Singapore -- but apparently this is almost the only country which will not be getting the OTA (I can't even get them to answer on Twitter or FB whether this is true). So, I finally followed Sony's instructions to unlock the bootloader. That succeeded. But then I was presented with a language-selection screen after the subsequent boot which I wasn't expecting, and since I thought I just wanted to just go down into recovery and not set up a refresh ROM, I powered off the device without proceeding through the language selection screen.

Apparently, that was a bad call because I've been in a bootloop since then which triggers after a freeze in the swishy boot animation. :eek: I flashed the TWRP recovery image I found on these forums, but no go. The volume up/down tricks have never put me into a recovery environment, and the only thing I can succeed in doing still is putting it into fastboot. Sony PC Companion's recovery process won't complete because it detects foreign software (probably the TWRP recovery, right? -- but where do I get stock recovery, and would that even work anyway? And Emma let me in once, but subsequently refuses to respond to the supplied configuration INI file (I'll try to fully reinstall this thing later).

I love this phone. Best phone I've ever had. My plan is up and I *could* get a new phone, but I don't want to move on! I want my Z Ultra. So, someone hold my hand, please. I am even willing to pay a bounty (via PayPal) for a live chat if that is what it takes to get someone knowledgeable to help me in a timely fashion. I live in Singapore (UTC+8), and I do biphasic sleeping, so I'll also be awake between 1:30am and 4:00am my time. Thanks in advance for **any kind of help!**

Sincerely,

Hopeful and anxious expat in Singapore

Edit: I will pay $60 USD by PayPal to the individual who can provide a productive resolution (preferably write here and be available over chat so I can learn from you -- PM me for Hangouts, Skype, VSee, or Firefox Hello contact details). A "productive resolution" does not mean necessarily that we will fix my phone. It may mean that we conclude definitively that we can't. I will take this thing into the Sony Service Centre and give them my money if I have to, but I'd rather give it to one of you fine folks. I only want to give a few more hours to this. I've already been phoneless for two days.

New information in the continuing saga

Reinstalling Emma didn't help, nor did putting customization.ini in creative locations or pasting the developer mode line from that INI file into other INI files within the Emma directories. So I gave up on Emma until I can get to another computer.

After a user kindly uploaded this SIN file (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/general/bootloader-devices-real-recovery-t3117566) to a fileshare for me, I figured out (here https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/65058/why-custom-roms-are-zip-filed-than-made-as-ftf) that "FlashTool" is not the same as Sony's "flashtool" Emma, so I installed it. It wanted me to put the phone in flashmode -- so I held volume down while plugging in the cable, which never before displayed anything different on the screen, nor a green LED which I've read elsewhere I should be seeing (e.g. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-flash-mode-51769/). But despite the lack of visual clues, FlashTool told me it connected to flashmode and the flash succeeded. It didn't seem to help at all, though, as I still get the bootloop just as before and I still can't access a recovery mode. :confused:

That means that I can apparently get into both fastboot and flashmode, which I wanted to make special note of. Is it possible to access ADB while the phone is powered off?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
just download flashtool, install driver in included in flashtool folder.

download also any FTF, generic zultra, dont care if 3g or lte.

flash it, should resolve the issue.

in flashtool, make sure you dont touch and leave the flash option as default. it will wipe your data, cache and everything.

to be safe, remove sim and sdcard.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mypetocean:
More information...

None of the supplied drivers match the "S1Boot Fastboot" device which comes up in my Device Manager. Also, none of the updated FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack match (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635830), nor the drivers on SonyMobile.com, nor the drivers which come with Sony PC Companion. I didn't have this problem on my other Windows 10 machine, but just in case that is an issue, I'm downloading the Android SDK 1.2.1.1 Beta to see if I get any mileage out of that.

I attempted to flash the FTF supplied here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60958777&postcount=3) but I got the following messages:

Then I used XperiFirm to download my original .108 firmware and attempted to flash it but got the same errors as above.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Download flashtool

I assume you're on windows 8.1/8 you have to disable driver signature enforcement. Then install the drivers than flashtool will detect your phone.

Flash ftf

You will need to re-root, and you can unlock the bootloader.. After that flash away. Remember to install recovery and back up ta. I'm a noob at this and did it for the first time a few weeks ago, so I know you can do it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mypetocean:
Rockin' and rollin'

I'm on Windows 10 -- I wasn't getting any errors, so DSE didn't even occur to me. I disabled it and was able to re-flash stock. Still, I struggled with getting a recovery installed, but after several attempts, and started from scratch a few times, one of them finally stuck. After that, I installed a custom ROM and things are running perfectly.

Thanks!

Disappointment with the Service Center

By the way, when I decided I had been too long without an operating phone (before I got the DSE tip), I took the phone to a Sony Mobile Service Center and had them diagnose it. They concluded that there was a hardware failure rather than a software failure (which would require some 300 SGD to repair). I declined, returned to the office, saw the message about DSE, and was immediately successful in reflashing stock. I took it back to the Sony Mobile Service Center and had them confirm that there was in fact no hardware issue -- and that their diagnosis was incorrect. Thanks for the help folks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] mahan.r:
how remove this gap?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

There is a way to flash your StarTrek. It is a way using pdocwrite utility from itsutils.

WARNING! Your startrek must be application unlocked and SuperCID!

itsutils can be downloaded here.

You can flash only a OS part of rom! (OS.nb)

So, there is command:

pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000

After complete, make a hard reset (Hold record and camera button, and press power (red) button) or Clear Storage (Start Menu->Accessories->Clear Storage)

P.S. Thanks to sp3dev for giving me a pdocwrite command

THAT IS AN OLD INFO, SO HEAD UP FOR UPDATED (IN RUSSIAN):

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=43194&st=0
[HTC Startrek] sp3dev:
Hmm.. i said you need SuperCID!!

This needs it, but allows unsigned code))

It`s not the only way, the others are but need to be developed (like patched spl)
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Can flash to WM6?

So can we flash our startrek to WM6 using the OS.nb of the VOX rom? :confused:
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
but NOW it is only way ;)

no, because of vox and startrek have different drivers
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
But sp3dev or some other ROM cooking gods here can help us port the OS.nb of VOX to startrek with our existing WM5 drivers. Possible??? :rolleyes:
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
offcourse! ^^ but by his words, it is better to port tornado rom to startrek, and not vox rom
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Let's wait for the Tornado WM6 rom

The Tornado WM6 rom may be out by end of this month. Let's hope our startrek will be compatible with this rom. :)
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
we will need to port it for our device
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
A noob question here

If we only flash the OS.nb part while keeping the rest as it is, won't it give us compatibility problem? May be a noob question, but just wanted to clarify.
[HTC Startrek] SayMobile:
Occassionally yes, usually no. The IPL and SPL part are not at all likely to be a problem if they are older versions but the Radio ROM might need to be a certain version for a later OS to work correctly.

But so far, such Radio incompatibilities have come up rarely...
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Huh, this is my most pervert dream! Thanks a lot for this! ^___^ Now lets pray for new AKU, new Radio........ ^_____________^
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
pdocwrite doesn't work for me

I'm getting the following error.

"Copying C:\itsutilsbin\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

CopyFileToTFFS(06_OS.nb:0, 0, 02600000)

ERROR: ITWriteDisk - A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."

What's wrong here? Any idea?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
your startrek must be application unlocked

WARNING! The command is "pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000"

Please note that 0x2600000 is size of your OS.nb in hexadecimal value. You may calculate it via standart windows calculator
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
If the device is application locked, we can't even get to the "CopyFileToTFFS" phase. Since I passed this stage, this confirms my startrek is application unlocked. My device (Dopod S300) is CID unlocked too. I was using the Cingular rom for a while, but currently running Dopod rom. I tried to flash to Cingular's OS.nb from my Dopod rom, just to check if this pdocwrite method works. I tried few times, but can't get past this "ITWriteDisk" error. I verified and confirmed the Cingular's OS.nb is of exactly 38MB (0x2600000) in size. So the size is not the issue. So have any other idea? :(
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
May be itsutils.dll library not compatible with your rom...:rolleyes: I dont know why you have this problem...:confused:
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Anybody tried this flashing so far?

Has anyone tried this pdocwrite flashing so far? successful??
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Fyi, I tried this command even from the latest cingular rom and it failed with the same error, so the problem is not only with the dopod rom. However I've already PMed sp3dev on this. Waiting for his glue.
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
my device flashes with no problems
[HTC Startrek] NetrunnerAT:
have you try a custom writed or or only the cingular rom?
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Nice to hear. Did you flash from the latest cingular rom? If so, to what OS.nb? Is this OS.nb a custom made? Would you explain a bit more? Thanks.
[HTC Startrek] NetrunnerAT:
this methode is useless ... it doesnt work with custom roms ... thx for bugging us!
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
i used official cingular rom and official russian qtek rom

and not tried to flash custom roms

NetrunnerAT

did you tried to flash cusom rom? please post a log here
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
You are not right. This method is VERY useful!

Today i succesfully flashed with my custom OS.nb

So, first of all you need to make a FULL unlock your StarTrek.

Then, using pdocwrite flash a new OS.nb.

Then restart your device. You will be infromed that "due to Full lose of battery charge bla bla bla e.t.c". Click yes. It will automatically hard reset your device. All done! Enjoy! :)
[HTC Startrek] thelostsoul:
So then this means it's possible to get WM6 on the Startrek?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
I don't know. There is another question. It's possible to get wm6 on startrek via OS.nb only? I don't know too...:rolleyes:
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
How to do full unlock?

If you don't mind, would you post here how you did the full unlock? I think I did not do the full unlock, that's the reason i was getting the 'dll failed' error.
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
Using regeditSTG2 edit the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001
-> set to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005
-> set to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017
-> set to 144

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> add a new key "0000101b": Dword = 1"

After that run SDA_ApplicationUnlock and click Unlock
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Still no luck to me

The 'pdocwrite' command issue the same 'dll failed' error again, though I did full application unlock this time. Seems I'm very unlucky. :(

What was the ROM you had in your startrek before you flash to the custom ROM? Have you ever tried flashing to Cingular OS.nb from Qtek ROM or vice versa?
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
What was the error message? Have you tried flashing to original OS.nb of any startrek ROM? If so, what was the result? Or Did you only try flashing to custom ROM and failed?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
i had cingular latest rom before flashing my custom rom

So, my custom rom is modified cingular OS.nb

i had some bugs after flashing like dissapeared icons in traybar, only white squares :) but may be i deleted some necessary system files i think :D

No, i not tried due to possibilty of different bootloader versions
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
How did you modify the cingular OS.nb?

How did you prepare this custom cingular OS.nb? Did you use imgfs_tools_182 or ImgfsTools2rc2b? If not, what was the tool you used? Is the size of the custom OS.nb different from the original OS.nb?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
I use imgfs_tools_182 due to ImgfsTools2rc2b don't work with StarTrek images.

Use "-nosplit" parameter for prepare_imgfs and make_imgfs

AddFile and DelFile for deleting/adding files.
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
I'm successful finally

Finally I made it. No 'dll failed' error. I used the imgfs_tools_182 to prepare the custom cingular OS.nb and flashed, but got those white boxes in the top bar like you said. It seems this falshing method works only for flashing the modifed version of the installed ROM. If so, then we can't use this method to flash to any WM6 OS.nb for testing. :(

Let's hope Pof, Sp3dev, Des or someone will release a patched SPL for our startrek one fineday.
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
My congratulations to you :)

So, i'm playing with XIP now. I tried to flash xip from wm6 tornado - there is no any good news, only text on boot screen:

IU BUILD!

Test Only

And quickly herzing screen.

I rolled back to official rom temporary
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
That's incorrect registry editing...
[HTC Startrek] NetrunnerAT:

[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
i haven't quick internet, only dialap...

use imgfs tools 182
[HTC Startrek] NetrunnerAT:
put it on rapidshare ... i work in the moment on blackberry for startrek and a german version from cingular rom
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
What is this XIP?

But WM6 tornado may be in nbf format. How did you extract OS.nb from the nbf format? What is this XIP? and btw, Where did you get this wm6 tornado rom from?
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Oh I see, then how to fix this? Any hint?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
I got only xip from tornado wm6 rom
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
Adapting Vox WM6 rom to startrek

Any progress?!

It seems the Tornado WM6 rom development team is now trying to adapt Vox WM6 rom with Tornado WM5 drivers. Can we try similar in our startrek using this 'pdocwrite' flashing method?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
there are no any good news, startrek with recompiled xip gets in stuck on bootlogo

me and sp3dev are working on it...

ps. sp3dev goes on holidays for 1 month, so work on wm6 is paused
[HTC Startrek] thelostsoul:
This is good news to me! Tells me someone's working on it!! :D

Keep us posted!
[HTC Startrek] R0iZ:
size of the rom

If the size of OS.nb is not 0x2600000? I'll can't flash this rom?
[HTC Startrek] moneytoo:
No, you cant. The 0x2600000 was just an example of one file size. Another file from different image will have different size.
[HTC Startrek] thelostsoul:
Hm, How is that enforced though?

Is it just a concept of having what the file size should be somewhere in the ROM or Loader that compares it, or is it more than that? Because if that's all it is, while it maybe difficult, it would just involved changing that value, right?

(just speaking my mind btw, don't really know much about modifying roms and whatnot)
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
so, ive tried to flash special xip prepared for wm6, but it not works

same history as flashing tornado xip (very bright flashing screen)
[HTC Startrek] sp3dev:
Hey, WM6 xip is ready, and i am currently fixing some minor bugs in rom, today Erofich will test my rom, and in a week it will be available to public
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
After fixing other some minor bugs... ;)
[HTC Startrek] arunraaj:
WOW!

Wow! Finally heard the good news!! Can't wait to see my Startrek running the shiny WM6. :)

Thanks a lot to Sp3dev and Erofich.
[HTC Startrek] dancer_69:
Yeah,I can't wait too.

Thanks gays for the good work!!!
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Question:

is there a way, how to flash back to official HTC rom, after upgrading to WM6? Or, better - how difficult it will be?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
there will not be any problem to rollback to any official rom

but there is a some troubles to flash wm6...
[HTC Startrek] jbzcar:
Wow! I can not wait for this! :D
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Thanks a lot.

So if I understand right, there wont be any difference in rollback, right? So (of course, in case flashing works fine) if I decide to use old official WM5, I can just do it as always (i.e official upgrade).

Troubles to flash WM6 - did any of you, guys, made it to flash and run it on STR TRK? What I am currious at most is the speed and so on. I am not fancy about new shiny skins, I'll upgrade only in case of big modifications (speed, improved support of external screen,.............).
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
We are trying to flash it via modified SPL and RUU, due to pdocwrite method doesnt work

Anyway, we have succesfully loading wm5 with wm6 xip
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Could you please post some screenshots of STR TRK with WM6?

And once you really make it to use it 100%, please tell us if the speed is higher or same. Thanks a lot
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
There is a wm6 flashing troubles now
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Ah, now I understand it. I thought before, that it works somehow on certain pieces. Thanks a lot LOL
[HTC Startrek] thelostsoul:
Wait, so does that mean that the whole system unlocking method that was posted before is not going to be necessary?

Anyway, thanks for the great news! Can't wait!!
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
What do you mean? SuperCID?

But flashing method via pdocwrite is useful for flashing roms edited by Addfile and Delfile utils, not a DUMP folder.

Me, sp3dev and pof are working on this problem.
[HTC Startrek] dancer_69:
Any good news ???
[HTC Startrek] sofene:
Any more news? Thanks guys for the good effort.
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
So, i already sold my startrek and there are other guys from 4pda working on wm6

btw, even pof cant make a working USPL for StarTrek. There is only one chance - make a SPL and flash it via pdocwrite, but there is a ~20% risk to kill device and 80% chance of success

Nobody wants to brick his device :)
[HTC Startrek] sledwrecker:
I'm working on this, can you guys please help me? I currently have the "cooking WM6 rom" thread going with more info.

Thanks!
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
Message for Erofich, POF and sp3Dev

Erofich, et.al... We have 6 or 7 willing parties to try to flash a revised SPL. If your estimate of 20% risk is really 80% risk, we should still be able to figure it out on 3 to 5 attempts.

What do you think?
[HTC Startrek] sofene:
Yea, 80/20 is normal risk. In some cases it's not more than 50/50 and life still goes on. So pile it on. The worst outcome is a bricked device. And they quite affordable now.

OS.nb

Any chance of publishing your OS.nb here (WITH or without the bugs) for the rest of us to take over in the tweaking? It seems like one of you no longer has the 8500 and the other is either not doing this anymore or whatever...

Thnx in advance...
[HTC Startrek] Jeff:
SoftSPL

Looks like over in Moscow they are using the new "SoftSPL" technique to flash these devices:

http://translate.google.com/transla...ic=43194&st=240&langpair=ru|en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

If a Kaiser WM6 ROM can run stable on an HTC Prophet (2 years its younger) through the same flashing technique, I cannot see why we cannot port another WM6 Smartphone ROM to our StarTreks due to the reasoning that the basic OS supports out of the box most if not of all the hardware our devices have and IF not then we can inject some older DLLs or whatever to the OS.nb...

I must confess that I am not the best chef, but when form follows function I'll take cooking lessons!

Bring it on! We should almost be there!
