If your phone is rooted, install xposed installer with respected framework and use gravitybox.

You can tweak your phone with multiple mods.

[Sony Xperia M] KoenGo:
I looked around but didn't seem to find a decent list of everything I should backup before unlocking bl on my XM (C1905) and flashing cm.

I came across the following items:

+ TA: backup for keys using Backup TA . Can anyone confirm this even still works since it is unmaintained.

+ appdata: using Titanium

+ nandroid: I need cwm for this, right? And for cwm, I have to unlock bl so there is no way to make nandroid backup without unlocking bl first?

Is this everything I need if one day I decide to want to go back to the current state of my phone?

Thanks for any help

Current phone information and state:

C1905

official rom build 15.4.A.0.23 (JB 4.3)

rooted

odexed

locked bootloader (but unlockable)
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
yes, that's enough i think. but may be you can add some backup your phone data. like your contact,sms,email, and call log. try backup & restore app from sony and you can go to unlock it :)
[Sony Xperia M] rexdrive:
If you take a backup fo your TA then to reset your phone to original state you would need this tool alongwith flashtool and your stock rom from xperifirm. :)
[Sony Xperia M] KoenGo:
Thanks a lot guys. Now I feel (kinda) safe to go ahead and try cm. Good thing that you mention phone data, cause I completely forgot about that.

Please make your decision: [1,2,3,4,5]?1

BACKUP

=======================================

When you continue Backup TA will perform a backup of the TA partition.

First it will look for the TA partition by its name. When it can not

be found this way it will ask you to perform an extensive search.

The extensive search will inspect many of the partitions on your device,

in the hope to find it and continue with the backup process.

Are you sure you want to continue? [Y,N]?Y

Waiting for USB Debugging...OK

Im planning to unlock my bootloader but when i did backup and restore dry-run my TA backup Im having this error now. I backup my TA partition using the same tool (BackupTA 9.11) few days before sony replied with my unlock code and then Im decided to unlock now but to be safe, I tried to backup again and do restore dry-run and its not working anymore.

We do have the same specs of xperia M
[Sony Xperia M] KoenGo:
Sorry for the late response. I don't remember if I did the dry-run.

Maybe stupid question, but did you put image where it is expected (/sdcard/backupTA.img) ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sietsuh77:
Hello everyone,

My friend has tried to get into the rooting scene and without proper knowledge he managed to get himself stuck on the boot screen.

I offered him my help, since I thought that this would be an easy fix because the phone still has access to the TWRP recovery.

What I didn't know is that the phone was branded and S-on. The CID is: VODAPE17.

ADB works in recovery mod ! :)

To sum it up:

CID: VODAPE17

The bootloader is unlocked

S-on

Acces to custom recovery

no backup

adb works

fastboot works

What I have tried:

I tried to get the device S-off with HTC dev. But it required me to boot up the phone, so that didn't work out.

I have found a nand backup that should work with this CID on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&page=5

This one: 3.29.161.9 - TWRP Thanks to Petert87 (what does that number: 3.29.1619 mean?)

I unpacked the file. Send it to the internal storage and renamed it to a backup that I had made myself (otherwise TWRP wouldn't recognize it?).

After wiping I restored the backup, but to my surprise the phone still was stuck on the HTC one logo when I tried to boot it!

I tried to get as much information from the phone as possible.

This is what I got:

version: 0.5

version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

version-baseband: 1.25.214500021.06G

version-cpld: None

version-microp: None

version-main: 4.19.161.2

version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON

boot-mode: FASTBOOT

commitno-bootloader: 3aa067db

My question

Can anyone help me to get this phone running again? I don't really know what to do anymore. :(

Every bit of help is appreciated very much! :good::)

Thank you in advance!

After flashing countless amounts of customs roms I still don't make any progress.

I have even tried to flash the boot.img of a custom rom separately with fastboot but that didn't work either.

Something is preventing this phone from booting, but I don't know what :(

Does anyone have idea's? They will be greatly appreaciated!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyera343:
Download and install latest TWRP from their website, not playstore. Do full wipe including system, then format data typing yes to confirm. Download compatible ROM to extSD, mount extSD in TWRP and install from extSD. That's what I would try. Your firmware looks up to date..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Agree, this is very important. Some older versions of TWRP won't work with the current hboot. You can drive yourself crazy flashing a hundred ROMs, and it still won't work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrjanda:
Same issue here. Latest firmware. S-ON. Every custom ROM causes a boot loop. Luckily I had a nandroid of stock ROM (5.0.1) so I can always go back to stock.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As already stated by myself and another, make sure TWRP is up to date (2.8.7). Outdated TWRP is the most common cause for many ROMs bootlooping.

Since I wasn't pleased with the audioquality of the phone I rooted and installed Vipermod.

After playing around a while I think I found some good settings to listen to.

First some Instructions to install Viper4Audio.

1. You need root Low Effort Root \ Bootloader Unlock and Root

I used the simple root (low effort root) without unlocking the bootloader because of warranty reasons.

2. You need busybox and after downloading don't forget to open the app and install.

3. You need the SE Linux Mode Changer and set it to permissive

4. You need of course the Viper 4 Audio apk and install it. ( The download site may be slow)

5. Download the Impulse Response Sample Compilation Tracks.zip from TRACKS Presets (studio), decompress it and move it to sdcard/Viper4Android/Kernel.

After completing these steps open Viper4Audio and install the driver.

Choose High Quality Audio and reboot.

- Open Viper4Audio and enable it for the headphones.

Check the Driver Status in the menu.

It should show

NEON enabled: yes

If the headphones are plugged in and music is playing it should show also:

Enabled:Yes and

Processing:Yes

Now the good stuff:

-Choose UISetting in the menu and click on Expert.

- Go to Convolver and set it to enabled.

Under Impulse Response Sample choose the one you downloaded (TRacks Compression 1.irs) and set Cross Channel to 20 %

- Go to Dynamic System and enable it.

Under Select Listening Device choose Extreme Headphones v1 and set Dynamic Bass to 20%

- Go to Fidelity Control and enable Viper Bass and Viper Clarity.

For Bass choose Natural Bass and 40HZ.

For Clarity mode choose Natural.

You can set the values of Viper Bass and Viper Clarity to your own likings.

Basically its self explaining what it does.

I have 8.0 db for the bass and 6.0 for the clarity.

But be aware that these settings are some sort of 3x Compression of the audio and is focused on bass, clarity and voices.

Not everyone may like it but it enhances the sound a lot even with the stock LG headphones.

After listening 2h to the music it showed 4% in the battery settings and Viper itself wasn't even showing up. Also the Kernel didn't show some suspicious battery eating behaviour.

So the settings should be good to go.

All credits of the links I posted are to their respective and awesome owners.

Have fun

Thanks.

Did you try to boost overall volume playing with Gain options? You can easily get +10db if you sum up all gain stuff. Please tell us if loudness can match M8 or M9
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
No I'm happy with the loudness.

With the settings I posted I cannot use more than 80% volume even with the stock LG headphones.

But in Viper you can set +6 db max I think.

Poweramp also has some Gain.

To boost your loudness a lot u have to install a custom Kernel I think or wait till someone finds out how to do that without an custom Kernel.

But for me there is no need to.

And links following soon.

Everything works fine with stock player

For who wants to make it working with poweramp there are two extra step:

1) in Viper4android we need to enable: FX Compatible mode -> Compatibile

2) in poweramp go in Setting -> Audio -> advanced tweaks -> Enable Music Fx

Finally in the poweramp Tone/Volume enable Music FX

Close everything and than try to play something, it should work now

Hello guys,

just wanted to let you know.

I flashed the stock rom, rooted it and disabled evrythig I dont need/want, even services.

But as you know ota updates wont work with root, I decided to flash the stock rom again.

What I didnt know, that all disabled apps and services ae still disabled afer the reflash.

So I've got a nearly debloated stock rom with working ota updates.:good:
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Yes the disabled stuff should remain disabled. I do what you did all the time whenever a new update comes out. Like the one that released for India a couple of days ago COGA. Flashed the new fw and then root again. All the bloat frozen via titanium Backup stays frozen.

With the news that Google will be releasing monthly OTA updates, I am wondering if we can create a method to apply OTA updates on rooted/modified devices (e.g. modify the update.zip itself to bypass whatever checks it performs)?

I run stock, but with root, xposed, and many system applications removed. Returning to 100% stock each month, updating, then re-modifying is a tedious process that I am not looking forward to.

Does anyone have experience with how the OTA updates work? Is it even possible to modify the update.zip to remove the check for a stock /system?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Yes it is possible to modify the script. You will have to browse through it, delete the assert lines that pertain to each system file you modified, and also delete any patch and permission lines for each of the files you modified.

So as you can see, it is much easier to just flash the system and boot images when they are posted, then make your changes (root, Xposed, etc.), rather than modifying the OTA script.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
Thank you both, definitely easier just to flash the factory image and re-modify. I'll have to make my own update.zip to automate the process for future updates.

I wonder if Google will be releasing new factory images for each OTA; I hope and assume so.

I both registered and started this thread because I searched far and wide for something to replace that damn fish background on the iphone dialer skin. I found on post on something differing than the fish, and after a day of poking around I not only found the answer, but also made myself a new skin. Hopefully this thread will be where I post more skins, aside from the one I am going to show you guys. If there's already a thread for this, sorry, as I didn't see it when I ran a search.

Well, first off, the skin if controlled by a bunch of .bmp's in your windows directory of the phone. It's as simple as keeping the dimensions the same, but replace the buttons and backgrounds to get a new theme for the skin. It's a biotch, and is mostly repetitive work but the results are worth it. Especially if you use something like a Xv6700, where all the damn buttons are too small to use with your finger without the skin! Anyways the skin I made is only for the portrait portion of the phone. If you're like me, you never dial in landscape mode.

Here are a few pics of my skin. My next one will be a plain iPhone skin with blue. No fancy background pic.

I'll upload an RAR tonight of the pics needed to skin your phone to this skin. All you need to do is unzip them to the mydocuments portion of your phone, and then copy them over to windows, replacing the old files. I suggest you keep a copy of the old ones, just in case!
