[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Photo is too small for me to see any of the details.

But if you weren't on Lollipop before, and you flashed a Lollipop ROM, and have no WiFi, your firmware is absolutely the problem.

There are only 2 choices on the previously provided link. One is the "official" signed firmware, while the other is "modified" to remove boot.img and stock recovery. You can run either, since you are s-off.

The choice is yours, but the modified one saves you a few steps depending on your current condition, and what you intend to do afterwards:

a) boot.img removed (stock kernel) means the firmware will not overwrite whatever kernel is presently installed (which would happen with the "official" firmware). But as it sounds like in your case you intend to flash Skydragon back onto the phone (reverted to KitKat nandroid presenty?), this doesn't matter as whatever kernel you choose during the Skydragon setup will be flashed at that time (and overwrite kernel again).

b) Stock recovery removed means that you will not need to install TWRP again (which would be the case if you used the "official" firmware).

As long as you pick the "modified" firmware, the steps are simple:

1) The firmware zip shouldn't wipe anything, but to be safe always backup any important user data before flashing

anything

, regardless.

2) Download the firmware, and rename to 0p6bimg.zip

3) Copy the file to the phone's internal storage, top directory (not inside any folders)

4) Reboot the phone into bootloader, and the phone should install the update automatically.

5) After its done, reboot if it doesn't do so automatically

6) Done. That's it for updating firmware. Flash the desired ROM as you normally would.

Alternate source for firmware (although you need to download the ROM with it) is supplied on the following link, as well as alternate procedure to flash firmware using fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365

Thanks seems simple enough. I think you have made it idiot proof.. But.... Both links for the modded firmware seem to be no longer available. Any other links??
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The link in the last paragraph of my previous post has an alternate firmware link, and it appears to be working.

ATT_4_28_502_1_M8_Lollipop_No_CIQ_Firmware and ROM(is full firmware with modified boot.img and hboot.img,will need to reflash twrp)

Used this download. and this method

1) The firmware zip shouldn't wipe anything, but to be safe always backup any important user data before flashing anything, regardless.

2) Download the firmware, and rename to 0p6bimg.zip

3) Copy the file to the phone's internal storage, top directory (not inside any folders)

4) Reboot the phone into bootloader, and the phone should install the update automatically.

5) After its done, reboot if it doesn't do so automatically

6) Done. That's it for updating firmware. Flash the desired ROM as you normally would.

everything seemed to work ok, except i had to put the zip on the SDCARD. It wouldn't read on internal storage. but it didn't seem to take was stuck on the htc one boot screen for about 10 minutes. Ran a recovery and everything seemingly is good minus the update. Does it usually a long time after just a firmware flash???? I also checked the text file and all info seemed to match my current setup. Should i try doing it through the computer??? Or am i still missing something
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dmeyers0326:
ALL GOOD!!! Used cmd commands for the updates and it worked good. Expect for lollipop was having issues with a couple apps. Rewiped and put on the newest version of Skdragon.. Everything runs as it should no issues.

Hello, i am a new owner of z1, currently on 5.1.1, i want to downgrade but hesitating between 108 or 157 firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
108 definitely
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Rom-wise seems 108 better but u will need 157 kernel to fix Camera not available bug ..... so I'm using 108 rom and to only flash the 157 kernel and 157 baseband(I think 157 radio driver also better), they are all working very good together no worry, no compatible issue.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamer4Life:
I am on 108 for 3 days, didnt have the camera error at all, and yesterday flashed camera mod v8 and its working perfect, i took some night portraits of my friends and they were impressed, told me that my camera got much better :)

The only problem now is the flash bleed problem, and i have a white z1 (not compact)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exentriel:
Where do i find the 108 Rom for the Z1Compact? I didnt find a official link here on the forum.

And can I flash this Rom directly over the 5.1.1??

Edit:

Found the Rom.

But i still need to know if i can just flash it over?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
I did downgrades however not between versions you are asking.

It went without problems when cache wipe was done.

BTW:

TheEndHK - which .sin is responsible for baseband?

fotakernel?

-------------

Added later:

Ignore BTW, please.

Looks like it is part of something, visible when flashing is launched.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
I plan do the same.

Tell please, is there any danger if I use kernel from other customization?

----------------------------

Added some hours later:

I needed some thrill.

Flashed 157 CE kernel and baseband over RU 108 with 'clean cache' marked.

Cleaned dalvik cache to be sure what exactly is running.

So far didn't notify any problems.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
yes, you can just flash the baseband in flashtool, there is an option marked baseband.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harsh73:
Pls. Let me know weather ce1 or ru or any other country which is good stock rom 108 in terms of battery life.

I've been trying to flash SkyDragon ROM as a secondary ROM on my vs985 for the camera. My Primary ROM is ResurrectionRemix. I have installed MultiROM and when I try to flash SkyDragon as a secondary ROM it replaces the boot image of the Primary ROM with the Verizon one and hangs there. When I try to boot into SkyDragon, the LG boot up screen comes up but then it hangs there. Anyone know why or have a workaround?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongdong6968:
I'm on a G Flex D950 and I know our phones are almost the same. I'm stuck booting to recovery, even when I hold volume up and insert the usb. I was hoping someone could make a flashable version of my laf.img so that way I can get download mode back, because I have a backup of it. I figured I'd throw it on usb otg or something as adb is broken, and I have no rom. My phone literally was just sitting there then suddenly started booting into recovery no matter what, whether I choose system or download mode.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeexhan:
it is not the same it can hard brick your phone flashing other phone's download mode... you should try Recovery Install in "LG Mobile Support Tool"... report if it does not work
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
why not look into it yourself? it should be pretty simple. Google for how to create flashable zips with android. You'll just need to teach yourself a LITTLE bit of bash scripting-- basically should just be a dd if/of command to write it to the corresponding partition. Good on you for having a backup of the laf.img. Most of the time I don't have backups!!! lol it's hurt me sometimes.

Also make sure you research flashing the img. I know you're never supposed to flash your own original recovery.img backup to the recovery partition-- not sure why, you're just not. Supposed to use a TWRP.img...

good luck

Hi guys , first timer here but anyway I've been trying to de-brick my LG optimus G and have had no success. I've attempted to use this video : [Guide] How to solve Security error / flash stock TOT file on LG optimus G/G2/G pro/G Pro2/G3 [HD]

I have gotten as far as opening that LG software but it doesn't doesn't register the phone ( i get a code 10 error on my USB device) but that's besides the point. Does anyone know another way to DE- brick this particular phone or am I out of luck

Also any advice on the code 10 error would be welcome as I've tried quite a few things.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

I couldn't find any useful info on the code 10 error (except a suggestion to reinstall/update the device driver, and at worst, try a different PC - Windows 10, if you have it, can be a problem).

If you get past that hurdle, or if not, and are still having problems, I connected this thread to the LG Optimus G Q&A forum, where your device experts are found:

do i need a custom kernel? i dont really feel the need to install a custom kernel if i dont have to.

EDIT SGP621-RICDefeat.zip seems to work, root is working as far as i can see for now
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
The RIC is what prevents you from (normally) making /system read/writeable on the stock kernel. Normally, this is defeated by flashing root and a RIC killer at the same time (e.g., SuperSU + XZDR).

Looks like you've got it sorted.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manilenio:
i have a rooted xperia zr on 5.1.1 with superSU and dual recovery installed but can't get ES explorer to let me use root explorer after providing super user access to the app. can't get sony ric killer to work, either. i'm flat out of ideas.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RejuJoseph:
I've had this issue when i flashed the latest 5.1.1 zip. The solution that worked for me was to flash the kernel with XZDR again. After that the root explorer option in ES file explorer sticks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
Hi peepz. first time posting,

Now to the point....

My 8525 for no good reason is no longer seen by my PC. When hooked up via USB, I still get the "charging" icon on the battery...but the machine cant see it in device manager as well as active sync. The only thing I have done recently is install TomTom6 and then uninstall it. I'm hoping its not the hardware. (i installed TomTom via the SD card). I must have blew away a driver or something.

Is there a .cab or a fix out there for this?

Running

WM5

Rom ver. 2.15.502.3

radio. 1.40.30.00

I'm at a loss. I've already looked at the USB to PC settings and gone threw all the configurations with no results.

Be Kind! I'm a newbe and need help.

~ThumB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bapski:
have you checked your deviceid? it might have been changed. if it has just change it back to what you have had before you had any problems.

you can try deleting your existing partnership and create a new one.

notice you still have wm5. you might want to consider wm6. there is a lot of functional and stable cooke ROM's laying around here..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
No its not the partnership. I'ts not detected at all! I've tried that. The problem is not with active sync, its with the USB port. It dont know its even there. I get no errors...I get nothing at all.....

I was looking to upgrade tonight to WM6.....If there is a way to upgrade from the SDcard, I'd do that. I've tried it actually. but it just tels me its not a valid PPC app. (RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship.exe)

The phone works fine otherwise....just wont show up!

Also, I've un-installed EVERYTHING on the PPC. Its backed up so I can blow it away anytime.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bapski:
is the "enable advance network functionality" option disabled in your USB to PC setting?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
Yes it's on.

I'm really thinking its a driver or a file that was overwritten that controles the USB port. Selecting the "enable advance " key i think is just not functioning.

Is there a way to re-install the OS (either WM5 or WM6 from the SD card without having "hardSPL" installed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
A hard reset will likely sort this. By the way, I would NOT enable the advance functionality.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lordsmiff:
It's possible you could do it without a hard reset - it sounds like something has gone wrong with your notification list...have a search on here or in the wiki about putting it back - can't remember exactly what it is but if you can find it, it might save you rebuilding.

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bapski:
try to uncheck the "enable advance....."
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Eskimo:
I know this may sound strange, but are you using the same USB cable that you always have?

Not all mini USB cables are made equal. I ordered some 5pin mini USB cables from Triplite that would charge my 8525 but would not connect to active sync on Vista. (Have not tried XP) If I switched to another mini USB everything worked as expected.

I just noticed this two days ago and have only had my device for a week, so I am by NO means an expert.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Ah! Penfold I have an idea!

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
OK guys....still at a loss. I have done 2 hard resets and still no USB connectivity. Also, I have checked to see if my headphones still work....they do. Also, It does still charge the battery when plugged into the PC and with the actual AC charger. Lastly, I have noticed that my charging LED never goes green like it would when fully charged. I'll leave it for another hour to see if I'm just being impatient.

I'm starting to think that somehow its a hardware issue. Like the USB has gone partially bad.....if thats possible to go "half" bad.

Any other ideas??? Also, is there a way I can upgrade to WM6 via SDcard? And is there a utility that will allow me to install programs without activesync? (IE: not a valid PPC application) Then I could at least try and figure out how to activesync via wireless.

~ThumB

And thanks for all your help with this! Great community:cool: !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I assume you did not change any active sync settings on the PC.

Worth a check (if you have not already) that for example, the "allow usb connections box is ticked and connect is automatic.

You can try deleting any existing ppc relationship and in the end you could try uninstalling and re-installing AS (if you have not already been through that!)

EDIT: forgot to mention: ensure you do not have any firewalls/security running on PC just as a check - this can block ASync.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
Yup. Already un-installed and re-installed ActiveSync and yes...checked the "allow usb" box. As i stated before. Active Sync is the least of the problems. The device wont show up on the computer....so activesync will never find it.

I have checked on 3 PC's thus far and with different cables.

I have deleted the relationship and all that as well, but thats not the root of the issue.

Also, I was just impatient and the charging light finally turned green.....so thats working fine as well.....It's a mystery!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Certainly is. Sounding more like a hardware issue. Have you got another cable around to try. Or even holding the connector end with light pressure at different angles at the device end in case there is a loose connection in the socket or at the device m/board.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
yah i've tried different cables and tweaking it to the side and such. no dice.

Basically, I guess the USB port on my phone is now nothing more then a charger....:mad: :mad: :mad:

What is the possibility of this being a KITL Transport problem? (possibly talking out my ass)

~ThumB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lordsmiff:
Just try putting it into bootloader mode (the three colour screen, accessed by holding power buttonon right side, ok button on left side (below scroller) and pressing reset button in the bottom)

Once you're there, it will say serial on the bottom unless it's plugged into a USB port when it should change to "USB"

This will definitely rule out any software issue on the phone...

HTH

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
OK two things...One PROMISING!

First I booted into Bootloader mode and it states "serial" regardless of if its plugged in to USB or not.

Second, I booted into KITL Mode and hit the left OK button. Under "Select KITL Transport", USB KITL comes up. When I did this, it showed up on my PC's Device manager. But once I softboot back into WM5, It does not come up again. So I'm thinking it was changed but I dont know how to save the setting. How do I keep the settings???

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThumB:
Progress................

So people... Here's where i'm at...

I Boot into KITL and select the OK button on the left side. It comes up with "USB KITL" and shows up on the PC in Device Manager. But it just hangs there in KITL mode. If i softboot, it looses the setting.

If i select the PPT button while in KITL Mode, it selects "ETH KITL" and then boots into WM5 and does NOT show up on the PC.

Please peeps.....any help will.....well.....help.

My Problem lies in KITL!!!

I've got a new app in the which shows you the current clipboard contents through a notification, and I'd be very happy to get some feedback on it!

I'm less concerned about reviews and ratings, since I'm more interested in actually getting a feeling for how users view the app, what issues they encounter and how actually useful it is (and I don't really expect this to be a blockbuster, if to be honest :)).
