What is NCB 5.1 ? Can you upload the rom you're using?
[Sony Xperia M2] Kessie:
In step 3, I flashed the prerooted zip it took about 5 seconds but after reboot nothing is changed - so basically I did not flash anything .... does anyone know what to do? Isn't there a way to create ftf from that prerooted zip and flash it via flashtool? Would be much simpler.
[Sony Xperia M2] Engineer91:
Try to use TWRP recovery, it worked for me.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
No use v1.1 of the prf creator latest one,tick all boxes except legacy mode then I added the ftf, beta version of supersu and t2u dual recovery flashable version. Wipe cache wipe dalvik cache then clean to install new rom when you've done that whilst still in recovery flash the pre-rooted zip(took about 10 mins) then still in recovery I flashed supersu again(just to make sure) then boot up(first one can take a while) then in developer options allow usb debugging and run the Sony ric killer by AleksJ I then installed the t2u dual recovery again using the installer version bear in mind that the t2u recovery isn't the ideal solution for recovery but it does work even the NDR util app on the playstore works.

[Sony Xperia M2] harold3211:
For those who cannot flash the prerooted file. Just use TWRP recovery instead of Philz Touch recovery. I am sure you had observed that flashing the prerooted.zip only takes a few seconds to flashed,and that doesn't changed anything. As I have said, use TWRP recovery to flashed it successfully. :D
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Well, the kernel and system flash worked for me using Philz recovery. The SuperSU zip failed, though. So I flashed it manually (never leave the recovery if anything goes wrong. You'll have to restart all over again). To check if the flash has been successful after having connected to the phone via "adb shell" you can do the following after having mounted /system from the recovery:

type from adb shell:
cat /selinux_version

it should report: Sony/eaglelte/x:5.1.1/YUKONODM... 5.1.1 is the clue the 5.1.1 sin has been flashed

type from adb shell:
ls -l /system/xbin/su

if it reports a non empty su the phone should be rooted.

In case the SuperSU zip doesn't flash, just put it on your SD card and flash it as a zip file. If it isn't there one can enable the USB mount and transfer it, or in the worst case take off (with the recovery on! It's possible as long as the external SD card unmounted) the SD card, put it in a SD card reader on the PC and copy it. Put the SD card back.
[Sony Xperia M2] swnny:
Using similar to aidy.lucas@gmail.com method, I used Customized CE ftf from xperifirm, made myself a prerooted zip, but with the TWRP flashable recovery from the AleksJ's thread. After flashing the prerooted zip, I kept the root, but recovery is missing. So is t2u dual recovery the only recovery working at the moment?

And I don't see init.d folder in /system/etc/ .

Do someone have a solution ?

[Sony Xperia M2] rikmoncur:
Hi, I'm completely new to this - I have an untouched Xperia M2 D2303 with Lollipop 5.1.1 (from O2 in the UK) and I think I'd like to keep the bootloader locked. My PC is Windows 10.

I'd like to get Google Now from any screen working again. The fix for this is "in build.prop file there is a line 'ro.config.low_ram'. It needs to be changed from true to false. You need to be rooted to do this."

Am I correct in thinking I have to do the following:

1. Install flashtool-0.9.19.8-windows.exe on my PC and upgrade it to v10 with x10flasher.jar

2. Flash my phone to Kitkat with D2303_18.3.1.C.1.17_R2B-pre-rooted.zip - this will presumably give me root?

3. Flash with D2303_Customized_DE_Other_18.6.A.0.175.ftf to upgrade to Lollopop 5.1.1

4. If this doesn't have write permissions, I have to flash RIC.zip

5. Then find the build.prop file and edit it.
[Sony Xperia M2] abuhurayra:
the pre rooted must be flashed with recovery, not from the computer. You should follow the following instead:

(You have to go back to 4.4.4 if you already are on 5.1 not rooted).

note: Once rooted you should save your DRM keys.

If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash anything, just read instructions first. And you don't need these method to root, just update new bootloader and flash SuperSu. :)

My understanding is that currently there are 2 different NXP chips which use two different stacks.

pn544 used libnfc-nxp stack binary patched by NXP to add HCE support (no support in AOSP for HCE)

pn547 uses libnfc-nci, which is from broadcom but uses standard NCI command sets, with HCE support already in-place in AOSP code.

There has been investigations to establish if pn544 could be made NCI-compliant through firmware upgrade, but it seems like it is not working, thus no HCE support for pn544, binary patched images excluded.

pn547 have HCE support, but it seems like Ttp capabilities are still missing for some Google choice

Sorry to resurrect the thread with a new question: how does all of this relates to the HCI based infrastructure in Linux kernel (drivers/nfc) ?

Android support, afaik, is completely userspace, using a trivial i2c-dev kernel driver as interface. Is this correct? Where is the i2c-dev driver for pn544/547? It shouldn't be in drivers/nfc/ tree right?

[Nexus 5X General] cabadam:
I've been using my Galaxy S4 for quite some time now. It's due to be replaced, and I've been following news about the Nexus 5X for a while, very much looking forward to it. And then the official specs came out... 2GB of RAM (same as my over two year old S4), max of 32GB of RAM.

The RAM I could probably live with in reality, but I'm not convinced of the 32GB. I added up the amount of storage I'm using now on my S4 combined internal and micro SD card, and plus the system ROM itself, that is going to add up very close to 32GB. I was really intending my next phone to be a 64GB.

I was hoping to keep something in the same size (closer to 5" than 6") instead of the "phablets". But this kind of threw a kink into those plans. Now I'm wondering if the 6P is actually the direction I go (or possibly a Moto X Pure). But I really don't want a phone that big, nor one that costs that much.

Am I missing something? Are there other smaller devices out there that have good/current generation specs? I was looking forward to the unlocked phone being carrier independent, that really puts a crimp in the options. Am trying to sort out my disappointment. I just feel, I don't know, like this is not at all the device I was hoping for.
[Nexus 5X General] joshuadjohnson22:
Sounds like you need Sony Z5 compact. However I will say I love my Moto X pure and once you get used to the size it is not bad. I started out with the S4, then G2 and swore that 5.2 is my limit, then moved to 5.5 and swore that was my limit and now I'm at 5.7 and love it. It is a lot smaller than the 6P so I recommend it ;)
[Nexus 5X General] Evo_Shift:
The thing is the 2013 nexus 5 still feels as fast as any phone with google's android. Upping the processor but keeping the resolution means it will be even more capable. I mean it has 1080p but the same processor as the G4 which people feel is a great phone. It is going to run like a dream. I wouldn't be surprised if it outperforms WQHD phones running the 810. Just backup your photos/videos and delete them from the phone once in awhile.
