[Sony Xperia M] Blackforce1012:
Hey,

I have a problem when i try to install CM 12.1 on my old Xperia M (C1905).

I have flashed the 15.4.A.1.9 FW on my phone, then extracted the boot.img from the CM12.1.zip and flashed it via Flashtool.

When i now start my Phone and Press the Vol+ Button when the LED appears the LED just get Cyan and thats it. Nothing happend, no Recovery, just nothing...

If anybody could help me, that would be very nice.

BTW: Yes, the Bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
which build did you install it? if you did first install you need custom recovery from your rom and then you can install cm to your devices.

first you need FOTA Recovery for your primary recovery, see in this thread for installation http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58515383&postcount=1

. i suggest you to install twrp version 2.8.7.0 and turn on your device, after that connect it to your pc via adb and do dd if command.

after complete, restart your phone and go to recovery mode and you can flashing safely without any worries again :)

if you have any question just ask me again :D
[Sony Xperia M] DibyenduMaji:
As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...

(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, because stock kernels doesn't support extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Yes you're right, I forget that . try it bro :)
[Sony Xperia M] Blackforce1012:
I tried this recovery. Nothing changed...my phone still crashes when the cyan LED appears...

But I've noticed that the Sony Update Center want to update my phone to 15.4.A.1.9 even if that´s the firmware that im using. I´ll try to find another .ftf and report if its working or not :confused:

Edit: Nope, still wont work
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
i'm sorry i'm new to check it now. that's old recovery mode, i mean cwm so that's maybe will make problem on your recovery.

you need old twrp boot.img recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57652965&postcount=1

here's the link. if you use cwm recovery you will got problem when try to flash cm 12 or cm 12.1 file because old signature verification

. try it and tell me the result
[Sony Xperia M] Blackforce1012:
Still the same problem. Turn phone on, sony logo appears, magenta LED, im pressing Vol+, LED changes color and gets cyan, nothing happend.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? Try to power on your phone first until get to home screen and reboot it to recovery
[Sony Xperia M] Blackforce1012:
Yes, im sure and also flashtool confirmed that its unlocked. Will try your idea later and say if this worked.

Edit: No...same failure :confused:

[Sprint LG G4] narsciso:
I was just curious about the current state in android development the LGG4 was for Sprint.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G4] iiEatTurdz:
they already have root. they just haven't released it because they say "it's not safe". I don't get what that has to do with anything. Everybody installs custom roms and twrp and roots their device and does all kinds of modifications already knowing that there's a chance that they can completely brick their device. I don't get why they don't release the beta of the root and whoever bricks their device is liable to their own mistakes.
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
Maybe by not safe, they mean that it's somehow unpredictable or something, where even if you follow the guide perfectly, there is a chance you get bricked if the planets aren't aligned or something...
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
They are just tired of getting blamed for people being stupid. No matter how many disclaimers they put out, some people are just jacka$$e$ and will still flame and blame.
[Sprint LG G4] Spades2006:
The phone has been out for a month, calm down.
[Sprint LG G4] bonebeatz1234:
Patience if it involves a tedious process then it's better to wait, trust me it would be brick city all over the place. The best thing to do is wait because asking when stuff is not ready piss alot of people off that's trying to get it working for everyone.
[Sprint LG G4] timlair:
So it's been almost 6 months. Is this something we can expect eventually? If not I'm considering selling my device and getting something that has roms available.
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
bootloader most likely will not be unlocked thus no custom ROMs will be available.
[Sprint LG G4] timlair:
*Sells Phone*
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
good luck with that on sprint.

The only unlocked boot loader phone on sprint is the HTC M9. Which is much less of a phone than this one.

Marshmallow is making it even more difficult even with unlocked bootloader.

Your best chance is T-mobile. V10 is nice.

I have M9 and G4. Tried t-mobile with v10 and it didn't have coverage I needed. But if they do for you, it's your best option.
[Sprint LG G4] donbudafuko:
I agree T-Mobile has no coverage for menas well that's why I came to sprint..an the v10 is nice I messed around with it at tmo but sprint doesn't have it..even tho sprint doesn't have bootloader unlocked there r 2 roks that r nice
[Sprint LG G4] timlair:
My work phone is Tmobile so I know i have coverage. But I need to stay with sprint for the unlimited data for my personal phone. I'll look in to the M9 altho i had the old m7 and it was underwhelming.
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
I thought the M7 was a great phone for it's time. M8 was an ok upgrade. M9 was basically an M8.

It's a solid phone, my wife has it. But screen is too small and camera is really lacking compared to G4.

At this point I'd just wait and see what HTC releases for an M9 replacement. I really hope to be wowed.

I really like wireless charging and SD card. I don't care about removable batteries.

Hopefully soon the phones will be more universal like Nexus and iPhone.

I'd consider a Nexus 6P but no SD Card and no wireless charging. Kind of too big too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] needhelp11:
Hey people,

I think my Note 3 have a defective piece because the network recpetion is very bad compared to other phones : sometimes I lost the signal (no service)

I think I should open my Note 3 to replace the defective piece, but I don't know which part ? Can you help me please ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
What do you think you can replace the original parts with, if the is no fault parts? Copy parts? If if it's the nature of this phone you can do nothing to improve it anyway, unless you are engineer or something.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You might want to try a SIMswap first...

[General Questions and Answers] zm8x87:
Hey all, I'm new here, so I have no idea where to put this, but seeing as it's a question, I figured I'd post it in the Q&A section.

Anyway, I'm on an OPO running CM12 Nightly. The hosts file in /system/etc currently looks like this:

#127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.177.199.14android.clients.google.com
#127.80.226.156android.clients.google.com
#127.30.171.189android.clients.google.com
#127.30.171.189android.clients.google.com
#127.30.171.189android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com
#74.125.93.113android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com
#127.58.225.170android.clients.google.com

Initially there were no hashtags and the hosts file ended after the second line. However, I twiddled around a bit and figured out that putting a hashtag before the first line allowed me to sync my google account via settings>accounts (it didn't work before).

I discovered that my Snapchat didn't load anything every time someone sent something to me. An initial fix was uninstalling and reinstalling, but this became too much of a hassle. Sure enough, I checked the hosts file, added a hashtag to the second line (android.clients.google.com) and my problem was gone. I could load things from Snapchat again.

Now every time someone Snapchats me anything at all, the hosts file adds another line of code which will always end with "android.clients.google.com" that never fails to somehow block my connection to Snapchat servers and prevent me from loading things. Has anyone got a permanent fix for this?

P.S. I don't actually quite understand what the hosts file does, nor what the hashtags do.
[General Questions and Answers] PalmCentro:
Would love a answer too, as i am now trying to learn all about host blocking on android.
[General Questions and Answers] fabioquaranta:
My friend, I am also having this problem.

I use AdAway blocker, downloaded by F-Droid store.

My problem started when updated to Android 5.0, which after a few days began to block snapchat and also access to the YouTube App.

When I delete all the apps Hosts file back to function normally, but after a short time he stopped again, and when I look at the file hosts it's already written some link again.

I do not know what else to do.

Already I uninstalled AdAway correctly and not solved.

Already deleted the hosts file and also to no avail.

Already I reinstalled the affected apps and the preblema still continues.

I wanted to find out what you're writing these links in my hosts file and why they are being blocked, even without the intalled AdAway.

Usually the link is like this: 127.191.186.155 android.clients.google.com

127.19.191.27 android.clients.google.com

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Brazil) Android 5.0 ROOT.

I wait for a light to someone who can help solve!

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Try setting permissions of the hosts file so that it can't be edited.

Make sure the do a nandroid.

Hey everyone,

I've got the HTC-S620. Unlocked from IMEI Check.co.uk so it is CID and SIM unlocked and i still cannot upgrade to the TMO WM6 rom.

The only roms I can use are the original HTC Excalibur WM5 rom or the TMO Wm5 Dash rom and i can go between the two. I cannot use any other rom while in either of the ones i mentioned which work.

Every single time i go to do a rom update it gives me the same error.

Error [244]: Invalid Model ID

However I don't know if each method works on the other device. The first one is easier, but be sure to flash the bootloader like it says and you should see a black backround with red text when you boot. Once you see that you know its ready to take the WM6 rom.

Sorry re posted in Q & A

Hi All

Will try to keep this short. Owned Lenovo A820 s150 for past 2 years, very happy with the phone hardware, never had any issues, problem is whilst playing with ROMs and scatter files via sp flash I have TEMPORALLY bricked it (had to Happen one day). Of course i will spend sometime now to learn how to unbrick, but time might be right to buy a new phone.

So I am really happy with Lenovo and would like to stick with them if possible and looking for a budget of $250 USD

Phone has to be able to be rooted, easily is preferred but if its a little more complicated that using mtk droid or SP Flash then i should be able to handle it.

Dual sim would be nice.

SD card slot.

5 inch screen or bigger.

MT chip set preferred

Battery must be removable

Cameras specs etc not hugely important.

I have looked around the net but not found a huge amount of information for the phone specs I need especially for rooting etc.

These are my basic requirements, and the phone doesn't have to be lenovo if another good quality budget phone out there fits with what I am looking for.

I have been looking at the Lenovo A7000, but I have yet to find a confirmed rooting method + CWM that really does work.

If anyone has any suggestions for a suitable phone I would be hugely appreciative. Currently in Asia so picking up phones only sold in asia is no problem.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Also, I moved all the aps I could to SD card in app settings menu but still have completelly full internal memory. Can't even update apps.
