I've been experimenting with my Y100X and would like to make a few notes:

1. DON'T select Format All + Download option in SP Flash Tool, it will format your NVRAM and will delete your IMEIs, instead select Firmware Upgrade.

2. If you already deleted your IMEI, and want to restore it permanently (for a temporary solution the engineer mode command works great) then the only program that worked for me (and I tried EVERY program I could find) is Maui META 3G (there are a plethora of guides online).

Mini tutorial for installing custom recovery and root with it

:​

I cannot be held accountable for any damage blah blah yada yada... You know the drill.

Thanks to RekGRpth from the 4pda.ru forum for the recovery and for the help in disabling the encryption.

The recovery is CarlivTouchRecovery (CTR) and is CWM based.

Requirements:

Fastboot drivers for your OS/phone.

ADB and Fastboot binaries (like this one - Didn't try it myself).

Recovery and boot image files: http://www.mediafire.com/?6o7hoch1pp9tphu

SuperSU (You can skip this step and instead install SuperSU or SuperUser via apk/Google play).

Extract Y100xRecovery.zip and put recovery.img in your fastboot.exe folder. Put bootimg.zip and SuperSU on an SD card that will go in your phone or put it on a USB flash drive if you have an OTG adapter (putting in on internal flash won't work).

Turn your phone off and hold volume up+power untill you see the the selection screen. Choose Fastboot mode (volume up moves the cursor and volume down confirms selection). Connect the phone to your computer and make sure that the drivers were installed OK (in windoze check the device manager).

Open a command prompt in your fastboot.exe folder (for Win7+ shift+right click in the folder and select "Open command window here") and type the command (and hit enter):

fastboot oem unlock

On the phone screen confirm unlocking (volume up).

type the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And then:

fastboot reboot

Your phone should reboot to recovery and ask:

Select "Yes – Disable recovery flash.". Next question:

Select "Yes – Root device." and "Press any key to reboot...". Your phone will restart and preform a factory reset (all user data on internal mem will be deleted).

Enter CTR (same as fastboot from step B only choose recovery) and press Install zip->Choose zip from storage/sdcard0 (or storage/usbotg) and install both bootimg.zip and SuperSU. The bootimg.zip is required because it disables the encryption of the /data partition and thus allows CTR to read/write to /data (E.G. for backup and restore).

After disabling encryption a factory reset must be made (CTR->Wipe Menu->Wipe Data – Factory Reset->Yes).

That's it, hope this helps.

Hi, i just got this phone.

Firmware is R03-2015.08.26

Is the firmware to update or is the last ?

I see here the R08 but don't understand well the build date...

Thanks !
[Android General] C4lculated:
Yes, R03-2015.08.26 is the newer version.
[Android General] karletto66:

[Android General] ccomatoseh:
What is difference between different ROMs, there is R03 and R08 it seems. I have following problem: bought Y100X for my wife, working just fine. Except for 3G in Finland (3G 900, 2100 and Y100X 850, 2100). Is it somehow possible to unlock bands in this phone with updating/changing ROM or some other tweak? 2G is working just fine atm, just can´t get mobile data work in 3G..
[Android General] C4lculated:
ccomatoseh: 3G should work in areas where there is 2100MHz coverage.

Assuming that you configured your mobile data settings (namely APN) correctly, it is possible that only one of the two SIM slots supports 3G. Try inserting the SIM card in the other slot and if that doesn't work, then either you don't have 2100MHz coverage in your area, or your phone has a problem (worth trying a factory reset).

I don't believe the ROM version has anything to do with it.

Anyway, I re-uploaded it and changed the link.
[Android General] therlux:
did anyone of you try to flash the recovery? and maybe some screenshots (how does the interface look like)

is it for every y100x or only certain regions :)
[Android General] C4lculated:
You can find screenshots in the CTR thread:

As for regions, AFAIK the Y100X only comes in one model, regardless of where you live.

EDIT: For people trying to root, do not use kingroot! When you try to uninstall it (to use supersu), you get a bootloop, and I had to reflash stock firmware kindly posted by OP. Use C4lculated's method!

Everything is going well, but there is a problem.

When CTR run bootimg.zip and restore to factory settings, in settings / security / screen lock I have: Sorry application settings has been stopped.

I am loading a everything from scratch or a new stock (currently of 2016/01/06) then everything according to this guide.

When you turn off encryption and reset the factory receive this error.

If I will not use patches bootimg.zip, it is referred all goes well; I can get a root system, stable etc. I ask for help.
[Android General] C4lculated:
santana1: The unencryption boot.img in my download is intended for the firmware from the OP of this thread (downloadable in the 1st post) and not the 20160106 firmware.

I created a new boot.img from the 20160106 firmware just now but I cannot test it, so if you want to try it yourself:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jm9ocam12v2t1tq

just make sure you can flash the stock firmware if anything goes wrong.

Also, if it does work please tell me.
[Android General] santana1:
I install the CTR but I get insallation aborted. This looks like an independent error. In contrast, although it bootimg.zip installed normally.

I tried the firmware from 1 post + bootimg.zip. However, in settings / security / screen lock I have: Sorry application settings has been stopped.

Is my case is unique?
[Android General] C4lculated:
OK, I can reproduce the screen lock error but I don't know what's causing it, sorry.
[Android General] santana1:
It seems that one can not turn off encryption, and get right to a copy of the CTR of 100%. Well, unless these errors in the system, we do not mind ??
[Android General] C4lculated:
I'm having a hard time understanding your English, santana1. Could you rephrase the question?
[Android General] santana1:
After starting bootimg.zip Settings / security / screen lock the error "Sorry application settings has been stopped."

This error occurs on any firmware.

File can not be Y100xBoot20160106.zip

install at all.

Is there a way to CTR perform 100% copy without the above error?
[Android General] C4lculated:
I can confirm that it is true. I think what is happening is that the PIN and Password options in the lock screen are using the encryption and when it is disabled they get confused.

Not that I know of. However, you can always use a 3rd party screen lock app.
[Android General] santana1:
Not that I know of. However, you can always use a 3rd party screen lock app.[/QUOTE]

At this functionality I do not care.

Rather, I fear for the integrity of the system in other applications. If the only problem with the exception of encryption, it's okay.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mps42:
HI All

I want to ask something I have lg g3 now I love taking photography photos but I want from all of you to help me

Im between 2 choice : 1- buying LG G4

2- Buying canon 600D camera

please help me ! :)

is LG G4 camera have limited specs to take different type of photography photo because as every one know that DSLR Cameras can change lens as you want so please every body use lg g4 manual camera mode help me :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemos:
It would depend on what you are intentions are.

If I was going somewhere where I knew I wanted to take photographs, I'd bring my DSLR, no questions asked. Physical size of sensor, quality of sensor, quality of lenses, size of lenses are all superior to an DSLR. Of course the LG G4 is also much cheaper, for the price of an LG G4 I couldn't even buy one of the lenses I own.

I see the camera of the LG G4 more as something oh crap I want to capture this moment now. But even using RAW the image quality is no where near as good as my DSLR.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
The G4's camera is very good for a phone camera. But it is not as good as a DSLR, or even a nice point-and-shoot camera, in terms of flexibility.

Two simple examples of why:

- No optical zoom.

- It's a fixed-aperture lens.

If you cannot get closer to your subject, too bad, without having a zoom lens.

And if you want to change your depth-of-field, or do something like use a longer exposure time in bright lighting, you can't, due to the fixed-aperture of the lens.

Adjusting your shutter speed and aperture are two fundamentals of setting your exposure, but phone cameras only allow control over shutter speed. And the ISO range only goes so far high or low, then you reach the limit of your shutter speed adjustment.

The G4's manual mode offers more control than most phones, which is great. But if you want to set either the ISO or the shutter speed, then you have to take complete control over the exposure. You cannot select a shutter speed, and then have the phone automatically set an appropriate ISO value. You need to select both values yourself.

If you want to learn about photography, and have a more-versatile camera, I would go with the DSLR, or some standalone camera. If you just want a better camera in your pocket, vs the G3, yes, the G4 would do that. But as much as I like my G4's camera, my Nikon P7700 lets me do much more, and a DSLR would be even better. The G4 is not a substitute for a "real" camera, IMO.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
You already got a g3? For gods sake, buy the dslr!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johno86:
If your G3 is working fine and you know you're going out to take photos buy the DSLR without a doubt.

The G4 takes spectacular photos for a phone, but it's just a phone. You get the flexibility of having a smartphone with an excellent camera. If you post-process you can shoot and save in RAW as well.

I'm not a photographer so the G4 is more than I expected. There's a thread with sample pictures we have all taken and shared if you want to check that thread out and get an idea of what kind of quality you'll be getting by upgrading to the G4.

*edit

here you go

I posted some pictures of our cat. Couldn't be happier.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvanzuijlen:
If your main reason is photography, buy a DLSR. The photo quality of the G4 is the best for smartphone's at the moment of writing but DLSR camera's are far better. Like [MENTION=6752487]RedOCtobyr[/MENTION] mentioned the LG G4 has no optical zoom and has a fixed aperture. This won't allow you to change the size of the diafragma nor zooming in on objects (digital zoom is - and most likely will always be - crappy). If your main reason is taking pictures just whenever you want to you should probably choose for the G4 though because most likely you will always have your mobile phone in your pocket opposed to an DLSR which requires an additional bag.

Personally I would choose the DLSR in both cases though (I had a LG G3 before my G4 but I lost it so I had to get a new one) because the G3 also can take some nice pictures which are more than average.

Sorry if my English isn't correct, I am from the Netherlands :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Get the G4 and carry one of these in your back pocket.

Hi to all!

I would like to share a minor issue that i saw after the update to lollipop 5.0!

Firstly i would like to mention that after the update i did a factory reset and formatted the mcsd card!

The issue is that in Settings>Connections tab, when i scroll up or down it makes a lag.. i did not see it anywhere else yet.. does anyone facing the same issue?

If yes is there a common fix?

Thanking you in advance!

Uninstalling tw.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
There is no lag in that area at all! Factory reset? That only resets your settings and stuffs, it is not as same as full wipe. So make a full wipe, flash the 5.0 ROM. If you don't know what is full wipe or master wipe then make a Google Search.

And more importantly, beware from trolls.

Hi,

my GPS stopped working so will have to send it to Sony to get it repaired.

Now I rooted the phone and installed the debloated 5.1.1 ROM.

Is it necessary to install the original firmware for warranty reasons?

And if so, how do to it most easily?

And is there a way to once getting it back I can easily obtain my current ROM with all APPS again?

I did a TWRP backup, and Titanium Backup of all apps, but I fear I will have to redo all the steps of the rooting procedure right?

Or given it's based on Sony's rom you think I can send it in as is?

THanks!

so after four weeks finally got a reply from the service center:

1) Custom ROM is no problem (at least in my case, was based on original though, the debloated one around here)

2) BUT: GPS failure seemed to have happen due to my fault!!! They don't say how they can tell. OK obviously I dropped the phone a few times but hell its got the outdoor specs covering falls etc!!!

So, they ask 160 EUR to get it repaired and explicitly say they cannot guarrantee that even after that it will work fine!!!!

So I told them to just send it back. Now the shop asks for 20 bucks for this "service" of getting the cost estimate.

Really disappointed with tehe Sony service... ;-( Basically paying 20 EUR for 4 weeks without the phone and still no GPS...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Did you follow the directions (I think I put them there)? You have to soft reset first, then do the install (don't do ANYTHING else when the phone reboots). That should allow you to install it (and it will need to soft reset again). If CommManager is open then you have problems installing it (so the soft reset before the install definetly makes sure its not running).
