Phone Details:

Phone: Huawei G525

Recovery: TWRP

Bootloader: Unlocked

Access through Fastboot - Yes

Access through ADB - Yes

Status: Bootloop/No OS

I made a terrible mistake and someone managed to ruin the stock ROM came with this, when I was trying to install a custom ROM. Ever since, despite all my efforts, I can't flash either a stock ROM or a custom ROM. Here are the methods I've tried and failed.

Standard custom ROM update by placing the dload folder - it fails after a few minutes. Tried a few different ROMs

Standard custom ROM install method using recovery - gives errors such as zip cannot be opened. Tried 2-3 different zips using two different microSD cards.

ADB sideload custom ROM zip - It loads the zip but returns an error "E: ZIP file is corrupt!"

Extracting img files from stock ROM and loading through fastboot - I can load all except system.img as it is too big to load. I looked everywhere to find a way to create a smaller size img file but none of the attempts worked.

Could someone direct me to the right direction to get this fixed pretty please?

Many thanks in advance!

Is it possible for the [search forum]/[search this thread]/[search wiki] buttons on this site to be linked to google directly instead of the current situation?

I would hazard a guess that most folks are searching for older threads to check for answers to their (duplicate) questions and such, users should be able to see newer posts without searching at all.

i recommend some super duty spring cleaning and get things more organized and possibly limit posting access to stop clutter in here
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
The problem is that is an absolutely mammoth task. There are thousans of threads and tens of thousands of posts. It is also complicated as the posts are often inter-related and deleting one leaves others hanging and not making much sense.

The idea is that the WIKI is the place for confirmed answers and tested solutions. Every member has a duty I believe, to spot things in the forums that have reached a sensible answer to problems and then go and create a section in the WIKI that cuts out all the chit chat and offers the edited solution in a neat condensed form. So yes, some forums do end up messy, but they are the talking shop, the WIKI is intended to be the tidy area for concise answers/solutions.

Not enough members take on this responsibility - the Mods are volunteers and there is only one day to day Admin. The Mods are generally kept busy with reported posts and squabbles of one sort or another and spotting the odd thing as they browse.

So if folk have a particular interest in a certain area, or have followed a problem from start to final answer, then get to grips with the WIKI and add a section that gives the refined solution.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendM:
Hello guys, I'm zenfone 5 user

And I'm thinking of change my phone to z3 compact this august

I have some questions

-How's custom rom support? I used samsung galaxy s3 for a long time before zenfone (crap). And s3 still supporting

-Battery life? I checked few posts about battery but screen time is around 3.5 hours? It's worse than 3 year older my s3 (I'm not comparing them with my current phone because it dies in 2 hours :@ )

-I heard that camera is not great at all, is it true?

-Never used any sony smartphone before( except my first phone was t100- sony ericson :D), would you recommend sony phones?

Thanks a lot
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cazteclo:
I don't know about root but I like the stock z3c.

The battery generally last around 2-3 days for me with 5hrs + SOT, copious amont of browsing, and generally using the phone as a smartphone.

There is some debloating to do (as is usual for smart devices) and after that is over and done with the battery just goes on and on.

The camera is good, especially if you take the time to learn how to use the manual settings (mostly exposure and white balance (and setting the camera to more than 8mp, which is the default settings in auto mode). Auto is good for most purposes, especially outdoors, but manual is better for indoor usage.

I have photographed constellations at night without issue with this camera.

The waterproofness is great and allows for carefree usage in all weathers. I come from Iceland and had no problems with the phone while taking pictures in snowstorms and frozen rivers. Though, admittedly, I had to use my warranty and replace the phone after a glass of water bested it, but since then I double check that all flaps are closed and sealed (and I use a magnetic charger so I never have to open any flaps) and no amount of water has affected my second z3c in the 3-4 months that have passes since the waterglass incident

I came from Samsung to Sony and I am not regretting the switch. The z3c is a quick device that can be comfortably used with one hand and the dedicated 2 step camera button is something that all devices should have.

I read and re-read these forums before buying this phone and I found that the positive posts outweigh the negative ones, and that most negative posts are replied to with helpful advice that helps settle whatever issue was plaguing the user.

Those are my 2 cents. I hope you find some use in my words.

5.1.1 is much smoother and have less battery drain in my opinion.

I don't care about knoxx, the only thing what is important is smoothness of my phone.

I tryed custom recovery, stock recovery, root, no root,

And to be honest now I'm running the latest Xtrestolite (odex) and it's the best update till now! ( in my opinion )
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roydok:
5.1.1 will come to you at some point weather you like it or not. Best version of 5.1.1 is the one offered via OTA which is specific to your country. No fears of bricking your phone or voiding your warranty. A little patience is needed to wait for it as Samsung deploys it slower than we expected it. If you are the one who cares only for the latest which on most cases is the greatest and willing to take risks then flash away.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araz86:
Thanks guys for the answers,

Mine is SM-G920F which the update came for france! Is it workable in other countries?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChuckWow550:
I'm just wondering is the 920F the more popular international model over the 920I? I have the 920F by the way.

There seems to be all kinds of bugs with 5.1.1, is it worth updating to it? If anything, I think I'll at least wait for the OTA, I live in America so will I get the OTA at same time as others around the world?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engelhuber:
Can anyone confirm longer exposures than 1/10 sek in 5.1.1? For example try Manual Camera. In 5.0.2 the max. exposure is 1/10

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araz86:
I've updated it :D and its really smooth and faster.

But unfortunately the Ram Issue is the same! Still reaching 88%!!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mig1234:
Its a large update, its o er 500mb. I updated with no problems. I find the battery life a bit better. The phone runs smoother and there are a few extras with camera. I'm nit a camera person but do a search and you'll get the idea of the chance. You can now get rid off s finder and quick connect. Other features too. I like the update and Knox is not important to me, however. YOU CAN'T ROOT, right now.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auldreekie:
Probably a silly question but I just need to confirm I'm doing things correctly.

I have Galaxy Tab S 10.5 wifi only (UNROOTED). It seems Lollipop has been downloaded onto my tablet via the Settings/General/Software Update section of my tablet, I did not go looking for it on the internet, it is now giving me the option to install. Do I need to do or download anything else before committing to install?

I have made a backup via KEIS and battery is currently 65%. I've heard folk at work say be careful or you could brick the tablet.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster193:
It would be a Samsung official update for the 10.1 so there is no harm in installing.

You can't brick the tablet by installing an OTA update, although some people prefer installing via Kies to be safe.

If you were installing through ODIN and stuffed something up then you could brick your tablet but even then it hardly happens.

[Verizon LG G2] NicJames2378:
Hello world of XDA!

I recently obtained a LG G2 from Swappa and updated it the 39a update using the Verizon Update Software on my pc. So far, I have rooted and added a ton of data and such to it. The phone is great and I am enjoying almost everything about it, except for the new feature that was generously added to the lock screen. This atrocious little thing I speak of would be the ' feature' where your phone will delete every little bit of information you have on your phone if the password is incorrectly entered 10 times. Basically, I am asking for a way to disable this feature. I know it has it's perks and all, but I don't really want it. Since it's my phone I personally think I should have the choice to remove it. Can anyone inform me of how to accomplish this?

I am running on a Verizon LG G2 version vs980 39a for anyone that needs to know.

[General Topics] 2ka:
Hi All

Firstly you need to download and install drivers.

The first driver is "SCI-android-usb-driver-jungo-v4" extract if its a rar file and browse into X86 or X64 whichever is applicable for your machine and install.

Second driver you need to download and install is "SPREADTRUM SCI-USB2Serial-version-1.5.6.1" extract if its a rar file and browse into X86 or X64 whichever is applicable for your machine and install.

Download firmware for your device and in this case I got "it1351E-7710_4.1.2_C913W_AITAI_1351_en_v" which is a Pac file.

Dowloand "Research download" as this will be the application loading the firmware onto your device. Run research download and once the window opens. Click Load Packet button on the top left. This will open a window that you need to browse to the firmware location on your computer. In my case everything goes to my downloads folder.

Select the Pac file you downloaded which will show loading packet at the bottom of the research download window.

Click the second button in research that says Settings, go to the Calibration tab and Uncheck/Untick all options there(Calibration,IMEI,W_Calibration,Bluetooth,BandSelect,WIFI) and click ok.

Go to the next button in research that says "Start downloading" and at the bottom of research download you will see it show "Ready".

Remove battery from the phone, connect USB cable to the phone. Hold down volume button(Volume -) and insert the battery.

Research download will begin to download firmware to your phone and when that starts happening you can release volume down button. Wait until research show Passed then remove and restart your phone.

Hello guys,

I just want to be sure before losing warranty...

If i root my phone and backup DRM Keys / TA Partition, will i be able to restore everything (stock rom and all functions (x-reality and camera optimizations) + drm keys) after joining open device program and "installing" recovery mode (http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/) and/or installing Android M Preview (http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...-xperia-devices-in-sonys-open-device-program/), or will this "destroy" those functions?

And if i restore ta partitions, does it mean everything is like "factory state" and even regain my warranty?

Just want to be 100% sure :o

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXorg:
Nobody done this...? ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
Basically, you need to root your device before unlocking bootloader and then back up the TA partition.

After that, you can unlock bootloader and play around with some of the available custom roms like CM.

Then, if you flash stock sony firmware and restore the drm keys, I guess there would be no problem in claiming warranty unless you hard-bricked your device.

BTW, I had unlocked my bootloader and restored my drm keys for like 2-3 times and the process worked everytime (at least) for me.

Hope this helps.

It is not as prominent, but it is there. It's like tiny lights, which illuminate the bottom edge of my Z3+, are there across the bottom - more visible on whites, or bright colours.

I can live with it (I think) if it's a common issue, but is it or should I replace?
