[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
Hi,

I found some time again. I have installed PC companion, but it doesn't show me how to install drivers. It says the software is up to date.

The location of the driver is C:\Users\BTO\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

The location of the ADB files is C:\Users\BTO\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
If PC Companion is giving you that msg, you might be OK w/ drivers. With that being the location of your adb files, you would open command prompt, and type - cd \Users\BTO\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb - then you'll be 'in' the right directory, (just to make sure, look in the 'adb' folder and see if fastboot exe is in there). Your command prompt should show - C:\Users\BTO\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb. Then type 'fastboot', and you should get output of command options.

If all goes well and you want to make it easier in the future, just move the whole 'adb' folder to C drive root. Then you'll only have to type 'cd \adb'.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
Or you could just open a window in the correct directory, hold right shift button on keyboard and click right mouse button and select "open command prompt here "

Easy peezy
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
I already found how to fill in the commandprompt from the link from my post of 27 september (you can also go to the map, and shift+rightclick > open command here, then you can misspell anything). But the problem is it doesn't recognize my device. When I go to the right directory and fill in:

fastboot devices > nothing at all

fastboot device > <waiting for device>

fastboot getvar version > <waiting for device>

fastboot > a lot of stuff

adb devices > list of devices (but no items show up)

adb device > a lot of stuff

But to repeat a previous post: "Because the commandprompt still did not recognize the device (list of devices did not give any results) I was trying to force installation of the driver on my phone, but that is the step I now got stuck on. When I try to install it in fastboot mode (my device is then called S1Boot Fastboot in device manager) it says it can't find any drivers for my device (while I selected the right folder and clicked next??) and the same is the case when it's just turned on."

Sorry i missed that... How about Flashtool driver installer? If you DL Flashtool, there's an exe in the 'drivers' folder that will install for you.

Hey you might be using windows 10,8,8.1 if so follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/issues/guide-how-to-install-fastboot-xperia-t2170114

All The Best :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
Finally getting somewhere, flashtool worked, so fastboot getvar version and all stuff gave some answers.

I extracted the CM11 files, but when I enter fastboot flash boot boot.img in the platform tools directory, it says error: cannot load boot.img.

The CM11 map is in downloads, is is going wrong there? Or something else. The phone is in fastboot mode.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Try different files. Here's a boot IMG that I've used successfully - https://mega.nz/#!Jh0DETBQ!E-9WTlINpfq5r3PIiKaIXRId7ar8g3c8YHTJha1N6LM - and try this for recovery - https://mega.nz/#!E4UQwIoZ!UFpur2wY3tIAU7SdjuEg5fUA6N4BAVwX_TeK_CFpTyo

Use 'fastoot devices' before flashing to confirm connection.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
That didn't work either. I downloaded the files of your links (btw I wouldn't also know what to do with the recovery file), so they are in my Downloads map of my laptop (can I just leave it there?). Then I wrote in the platform tools directory 'fastboot devices' and it gave an answer. When I filled in 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' it said it cannot load boot.img

And maybe I'm getting it wrong, but the size of the CM11 download is 262.87 MB (I took the first snapshot in this list: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=amami), and the size of that boot.img is just 12.1 MB, so I think that that single .img can never be enough for the whole installation of CM11 though?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
The boot and recovery files will just enable you to get into recovery. You'll need a ROM file to put a ROM on your phone. There are many to choose from in the 'android development', and 'original android development' threads. To flash with fastboot, put the boot.img and recovery.img files on your PC in the same directory as your adb files, (fastboot, etc). Then type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img', and when that's done, type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, (make sure yor files are named 'boot.img, and 'recovery.img'). Then you can reboot into recovery. Once you download your ROM file, you want it to be on your SD card in the phone. When you get into recovery, you go to your ROM file and install.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
Ok so I did this: "To flash with fastboot, put the boot.img and recovery.img files on your PC in the same directory as your adb files, (fastboot, etc). Then type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img', and when that's done, type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, (make sure yor files are named 'boot.img, and 'recovery.img')."

Then I typed fastboot reboot, and it gave: rebooting... with total time 0.008 seconds, and I hit a couple of typed volume down (it said volume rockers on the how-to-wiki, so i guess it doesnt matter up or down) and then the screen turned black (but it's on), and the notification light is off. Battery was 80%, but phone is getting quite warm.

Furthermore, in 'my computer' the phone is not present. So I can not put the download (the CM11 folder of 262.87MB) on the sdcard. When looking into device manager, it could find it at portable devices but with a yellow exclamation mark, with as reason the device does not start (code 10). PC companion also said there is a mistake in the connection between the phone and the computer and advises me to get the phone off the computer and restart it. Good idea?

Update, it's now already over 1,5 hours on the blue 'waving' startscreen, and getting quite hot even. So it is stuck.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
If your phone is stock, it won't boot with the new IMG you flashed. That's also why the computer doesn't recognize it. You can copy your ROM onto the SD card with your computer, using a card reader or adapter. Just flash both IMGs, then unplug, then turn it on, and hit vol up when you see purple. Make sure you type flash 'boot' for the boot, and flash 'recovery' for the recovery, not 'boot' for both. Also, if you want, there are custom IMG files with recovery on xda for stock ROM that you could flash the same way, if you just want to use your stock.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Try this for stock - https://mega.nz/#!k0cTUQbS!5XUZhTEK4xBKVBSeO83TEHE3xs9JEpvxt3g1Sc8tVH8
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
But I have already flashed the img's you advised me to download (see my previous post)? It got stuck when I typed fastboot reboot.

And are you saying I can put my ROM on an external SDcard, and then just put it in? By the way I don't have a micro-sd adapter, so I should buy that then first.

Can I meanwhile just unplug the phone without chance on bricking?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
So can I just unplug the phone and start again, and then what? Sorry but I dont understand you last reply.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Sorry, I just got back. Yes, you can unplug it once the flash is done. I repeated the instructions even though you said you did it already bc it didn't seem like you got into recovery successfully, so I just wanted to go over it. You should get 'OK' messages from fastboot after each IMG flash. If you are getting that, and you flashed the boot IMG and the recovery IMG with the correct commands, than you can unplug and power on and when you see purple, just push vol up, and purple will change to orange. Then you'll get into recovery. If you want a new ROM, you'll have to find a way to get the file onto your card. Sorry I didn't realize you didn't know that before you flashed your IMG. Like I said, you still have your current ROM on the phone, but you can't boot it with that IMG, so you could also try to flash an IMG that will boot your ROM, then download your ROM file on the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joheee:
It finally worked! THANKS. A. LOT. For all your time and patience.

It only installed android 4.4.4. while I had 5.0.2., which I don't get, but it works :)

I also think that the how-to-install wiki needs an update, because it doens't tell a lot of steps, or is it me?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Glad to hear it. I'm not sure which page you were looking at, but probably it has to do with the speed things are changing at. There's new technology, verso, and methods showing up every other week, it seems...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirov1045:
I've made a horrible mistake.

I was on 5.9.16, tried to downgrade by flashing system, recovery, cust and crc.

Unfortunately I've done it with B316, which is 4.4.4, so i got this annoying bootloop, in which i can't access recovery, bootloader or use the 3 buttons method.

It seems as if the phone tries to forcefully boot into system ignoring everything I do.

I tried draining the battery to turn it off, which worked, but when i charged it it tried to system boot as soon as there's enough battery.

Any ideas?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afikri6:
i have the same problem but solved to boot into bootloader

it just the timing must be perfect as it is only small window to enter

what i do is i push the on button and - sound button

when the phone vibrate i quickly insert usb cable before the honor logo comes out

sometimes when it fails also i will try push the - sound button several time with the usb cable inserted

not to worry the XYZ MOD VL 07 only requires 199 MB (208,842,851 bytes) of the system partition space

the rest goes in the data partition and the sdcard

so even you didn't repartition you can flash it now and still have 88 mb free

most other devices come with 1 gb system partition or even less so I kept system partition space requirement at a minimum

Mac Os X - adb tool and fastboot installed.

Xperia S lt26i

I had the 4.1.x Android version, and I wish to install the Lollipop 5.1.1 version.

For doing that I need to install a ROM.

To install a ROM It may be usefull to have a recovery tool.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.5.0 as a recovery tool.

Problem:

Each time I try to install the ROM uCyan-12.1-b05.zip or simpleAOSP.zip, I get the same error:

It hangs on

, and, after a while, I get:

After some research I found out that, this error may be related with this warning message that TWRP provides:

" Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts"

After some other research, I found out that, in order to avoid the error, I should use a OLDER version of TWRP, for example: 2.8.0.1.

If this is true, and if this is my only way around, I don't know how to downgrade to the older version.

I tried:

"adb reboot bootloader"

But the device simply restarts, and get's loaded into TWRP again.

No blue light, nothing.

Without being able to enter on the bootloader mode, I don't know how can I re-install the older version of TWRP necessary to install Lollipop 5.1.1. as desired.

Can anyone please help me out.

I'm stuck.

:(

I solved by flashing something, just to enter the bootloader stage. Once there, I flash the older twrp.
