+1 disapointed with 5.1.1

Hi all,

unfortunately I join the ranks of people disapointed with the 5.1.1 FW. Couple of problems (none of which I had with KK):

- even though the phone is on and connected on network, I'm unavailable.

- The sim sometimes goes of service on its own (i have to insert pin code), and it's not related to the first problem.

- slower performance, worsened battery life, the touch screen responsiveness is worse.

- I rooted it, tried to clean from crap, but no effect

Going back to KK FTF these days.

This may sound lame but, couldn't someone just port the old camera from Kit-Kat?

Got bootloop, i dont know why [d2302]

I'm very confused. I got random bootloop, sir.

1. Last night, i tried to clean flash FW .182 and done. Everything is fine.

2. And i root my D2302 use Rootkit in M2 thread (not supported), so i used Kingroot. Done.

3. Im used RIC disable (windows version), first time is failed. Second time, success.

When boot up, i got 1st bootloop (always stopped in boot animation, and then reboot again and again) .

OK, I tried to repeat point 1, 2, 3. And yay !! no bootloop !! so i go to point 4.

4. Installing Multirecovery (Philz-CWM-TWRP v.0.7), success. I can used recovery too, cool.

5. Flashing Xposed v78 sdk22 , reboot, and got 2nd bootloop (same with 1st bootloop).

3th bootloop, when i repeat point 1, 2, 3, after disabling RIC.

3 times flashing, 3 times bootloop, 3 different bootloop situation

When im running on FW .175, nothing issues, Everything is fine.

Any suggest , sir ?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
You are bootlooping as xposed will not work on stock 5.1 on M2,t2u and c3 due to a Corrupted services.odex file(this is well known) if you want xposed you'll need to use either gauravs deodexed z2 port or linuxct's z5 style rom(this also uses gauravs deodexed port) this is the only way to get xposed and deodex on these devices
[Sony Xperia M2] FunSucker:
O yeah ! I forgot that point, services.odex lol. Oke oke bro, thank for advance :D
[Sony Xperia M2] Leonelle:
FSC Script

This means that there is a script file included into the (*.ftf) file and actually this script can describe and parse the flash method used by Flashtool

If the script it's not included into the the flash package so Flashtool will automatically use builtin scripts in this case risk level will increase due device maybe updated OTA and the boot delivery updated too leading you to brick the device!

So recommended to use the included script into the (*.ftf) file confirming the prompt message by Yes

Thank you

well, I just realized sth, in the excel I did, between certification dates and the release dates there's always 5 days range...

So... ETA for 21 of september? :)))
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
21/9 seems more logical than 17/9
[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:

So @linuxct prediction was pretty much spot on! Amazing guess.
[Sony Xperia M2] filip.kosut:
I'm so excited! Update will be released in a few days :)) So... What about root? :D
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
There is no root exploit for 5.1 lollipop, only way to keep root is flash pre-rooted zip containing ftf, supersu n recovery flashed via recovery on a already rooted device .

Kingroot doesn't work on 5.1 not That you should use that to root your phone.

[Sony Xperia M2] ZlyDzik:
With 5.1 released will it be possible to make fully functional CM and other roms?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
AFAIK only way is pre-rooted zip containing ftf, supersu n recovery using prf creator. Not aware of any other way

[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Well, if the trick of flashing the JB kernel still works (in the sense that the kernel still loads, I don't care if Android later bootloops) root will be achievable like before. All we need is to be able to write once in /system, putting the rooting binaries and scripts in there, and then the rooting is done.

Then there might be issues with the RIC disabler. But from the little I checked all 5.1.1 Xperia use the Linux kernel 3.4.0, the same of KK 4.4.4 so the RIC disabler kernel module should be compatible.

I'm 90-95% sure it will work. I may have just to update the root binaries and APK in rootkitXperia. Also making a single step script that will sure work at least for the M2.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
I've been following the various z device and t2u threads since it was confirmed we would get the update(to see if it was worth updating). Every other Xperia device flashing the pre-rooted zip from a already rooted device has been the only way to keep root. I may be wrong I'm no expert but people have tried flashing the rootable kernel from 5.02(kingroot mostly) whilst on 5.1 to get root all resulting in bootloops

[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
If you mean that they installed the 5.0 kernel into a 5.1.1 ROM and it bootlooped sure it isn't rootable by Kingroot. Kingroot is an Android apk, it can't obviously be launched if the phone bootloops. But my method works with the JB kernel in a KK ROM and the phone bootlooping. That's because it doesn't care about Android, it works straight at Linux level via adb. So as long as adb is functional, in the sense that we can run a shell in the phone with it, the Linux OS should be working and the rootkitXperia hack will (should?) work as well, since it is an hack of the kernel.

But yeah, in the worst case we would just need a 5.1.1 /system tar or zip file (I suppose it is easy to extract it from the FTF), add the rooting files to it and then flash it with the phone in recovery mode.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
So let me get this straight (sorry, but I still need to learn more about Android... :)) - if I have a rooted M2 Aqua phone UB, should I wait for pre-rooted firmware? Or just wait for someone to report which root methods are working?
[Sony Xperia M2] LilBlinx:
wait for pre-rooted
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
It depends. If you don't mind to loose root and you're eager to get Lollipop (who isn't? :D) you can just go forward with the 5.1.1 installation and then wait for the one which will come out first. If it will be the pre-rooted just downgrade to 4.x, root it, install the recovery and then flash the pre-rooted Lollipop ROM.

BTW the new developer of Flashtool is a bit messing up. Xperiafirm in Flashtool for OS X isn't working anymore (not even downgrading to 9.18.6. WTF?!). So please upload an FTF (with European languages) when it comes out!

Oh, and

watch out when flashing FTF with the versions 0.9.19.x.

If you include simlock.ta YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
You know you can use XperiFirm separately from Flashtool? It's not working for me in Flashtool, but it works separately. :) Check if you have XperiFirm.config in user/.flashTool folder, you should delete that (this is on Windows, may it's different on Mac, but maybe not :D)

Good Luck.

Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Well, the last time I checked (months ago) Xperifirm wasn't available in OS X. Flashtool used a somehow different system. Now it works in Flashtool through "Mono", an SDK for application portability between OSX/Windows/Linux. For some reason Flashtool didn't start Mono, although it was in my $PATH (from console it worked indeed). Now I made it working. Still, I preferred the previous one, it was much lighter.
[Sony Xperia M2] nemanja.bgd:
About root method for 5.1.1 on LB im thinking about flashing pre-rooted 5.1.1. zip with only system patition and supersu using PhilZ Touch Recovery for LB(on rooted 4.4.4, of course), then turn off phone and flash with flashtool other partitions(kernel, modem etc) except system and cust-reset. It should work? Seems logic to me...
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
As far as I'm aware just a case of flashing a pre-rooted zip via recovery on a already rooted device. No need to flash anything via flashtool. I never have when flashing pre-rooted zips, I just tick every box in the prf creator never had a problem you may have to reinstall recovery afterwards that's it as multi recovery only has a installer version not a flashable one

[Sony Xperia M2] hitmanle016:
Sooo lets wait :D hihi....
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
I'd say it is a good idea to flash at least the the new kernel. Anyway, the only one that should remove the rooting is system.sin (skippable by flagging "SYSTEM" in FlashTool I suppose). Still some components (like modem) should go in /system as well, so a prerooted file (which is a backup of /system and maybe other things) should have them all already.

Then who gets Lollipop first can try the solution for 4.4.4 (JB kernel + rootkitXperia). It does still have a chance to work (and it won't mess up anything. At the worst just reflash Lollipop).

Because for the other phones it took 5 days (but once it was six if I counted correctly, August has 31 days :D) to roll out after been certified. So it's a prediction by our linuxct who already guessed the time range. But yes, it can still be tomorrow. It's probably the time the paperworks take to move around after the certification.

[Sony Xperia M2] masakrator1992:
Hi fellas,

My D2303 is currently running stock 18.3.1.C.1.17 KK, as well as many others i'm looking forward rooted Lollipop 5.1.1. [MENTION=6073713]aidy.lucas@gmail.com[/MENTION] mentioned flashing a pre-rooted rom via recovery on already rooted device. By now, my experience is limited to Samsung terminals and I'd like to ask some questions to clear any doubts:

Can it be done with locked bootloader or it's necesary to unlock it first?

Is it just to take Sony's .FTF when it's out, SuperSU.zip, recovery and cook .zip with PRF creator? Do I need specific version of recovery and SuperSU?

If I flash a generic 5.1.1 .FTF via FlashTool, will I be able to go back to 4.4.4? (same way or another)

Thanks i advance, both for your hints and patience :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Gaurav007:
Let the update come then think about root:D

#FEELDALOLLIPOPHYPE
[Sony Xperia M2] masakrator1992:
Yeah, I'm considering going this way. In this case, I'd like to know if it can be undone - so far, there's no rooting method for 5.1.1. And I'm afraid it's not about applying the update since I don't have a generic version and my local carrier propably doesn't care about quick rollout. So it's more like flashing a generic .FTF manually ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Haha :D I'm looking forward for getting camera files out of FTF and see how they work on CM, even if it costs going back at 3.4.

I have Z3 running stock for daily driver. M2 is waiting in silence past few weeks!

[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] ffs how did you get that times?

And regarding your "5 days" span, did you count weekend?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I asked John (XperiaBlog) when he first received mails with the tip about the update, to publish it in the blog, and he gave me the times.

And about the 5 days, yep, in fact in all cases AFAIR there was a weekend. But as Miche1asso pointed, in the T2 there was a 6 days range (my bad). I still hope it comes out in any time, today or tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia M2] WandelendeTak:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwijar:
Hello everyone,

Just got myself the HTC One m8 yesterday and am in love, but I have one small question.

When you go to power, and history to see the details of what your battery has been up to, is it normal for it to always basically reset when you either turn the phone of/reboot or plug a charger in, even for a short amount of time.

For example, I charged mine over night and took it off at 6am, went through the day and was keen to see how long I'd get from a single charge, get to now (9pm) and decide that I wanted to put some music on it, plug the usb into my laptop and transfer some tunes, unplug. Now when I go back to the history the graph just starts from 70% like its been reset and all the previous graph movements etc are gone. Attached picture is after unplugging the usb after being on for about 33min

I previously had a Samsung s4 and the graph would only reset once the phone was fully charged. If you plugged it in the graph would rise as far as you charged and continue giving information until it had been full recharged and then the graph would start again.

Is this normal for the M8 or is mine being silly?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Jarrad
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwijar:
No solutions ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes, it is normal for it to reset.

It is for power history since powering up, or since your last charge.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baune7:
yeah, that's normal. And I don't see a way to change it to since "last full charge" to 100% My Moto Droid would always show since last charge from 100%. If you plugged it in for a little bit, it would show that time on the graph too as charging. I'm sure there's 3rd part apps you could use that would possibly be a better fit for you (Gsam battery monitor) is probably the top one I think. Also, "better battery stats". Gsam is pretty good and monitors all kinds of stuff too, wakelocks, cpu usage all that good stuff.

Problem placing calls with desired SIM

Hello there Dev! Thanks for developing this ROM and providing a new lease of life to my Gionee GPad G2.

I am facing one problem though. I made a call from SIM 1 but when I try to make that same call from SIM 2, I cannot do so even if I select SIM 2 while dialing. The call always connects through SIM 1. Even after disabling SIM 1 and trying again with SIM 2, the SIM 1 gets enabled automatically and dials the number.

Is there any solution or trick for this to work correctly?
