[Sony Xperia M2] ModiF:
same problem here

I flashed new lollipop ftf using FlashTool (D2306) and forgot to exclude SIMLOCK.ta.

Although I have working android, there is no SIM and also I am not able to flash any new recovery or boot.img .

I ihave downgraded to KK and JB but had the same problem. when I check the unlock status it is:

Rooting Status: Unknown.

also for sim properties I have:

[ ] Network 0

[ ]Network Subset 0

[ ]Service Provider 0

[ ]Corporate 0

[ ]SIM 0

Some one knows the solution?

[Sony Xperia M2] Toledo_JAB:
If you unlocked your bootloader, then you can restore the backup you made with flashtool.

If you made one..

If not unlocked then try Pc companion repair.

This issue reminds us all how important backups of everything are.

Even pulling your 'out of the box' stock firmware for just these issues.
[Sony Xperia M2] ModiF:
still the problem exists

Few days ago I flashed a firmware using new FlashTool 9.19..., I forgot to exclude SIMLOCK.ta and since then my device has simlocked. Everything works fine except sim signal.

I have tried all suggested ways. flashed stock JB, KK,... and yesterday tried repair using Companion. after a long time it finished with ea new lollipop on my D2306 but still have the problem.

Rooting status: unknown- only able to flash ftf using FlashTool. but when I try to flash a recovery img, it fails. when I ask about lock status, the FlashTool says that my phone is unlocked.

The fastbood detects my phone but when I try to flash a boot.img or recovery.img again I face the Failure message.
[Sony Xperia M2] Daniel Lovinho:
Hey!

I have this problem too, but i have the TA keys backup, can it help? How i can restore? Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia M2] LilBlinx:
Since you have backup of the TA keys you need to use the same program that you've backed them up with. It' most likely this one but check twice before making any changes

TA Backup TOOL
[Sony Xperia M2] Daniel Lovinho:
I tried it many times. Flashed 4.4.4, make root, and tried to backup, it works but continues simlocked. Can i do anything else?
[Sony Xperia M2] ModiF:
I am studying the problem. I have the data of my device too. The problem is that the simlock.ta has locked the bootloader and I am not able to restore it.

I am sure that here there are peoples that already know the solution.

The developer of Flashtool even didnt respond my email!
[Sony Xperia M2] munjeni:
You can not repair your phone if you have no trim area backup from your phone before bad thing happened on your phone, if you have no trim area backup you can't repair your phone! Only solution for your phone is service center (not sure if he will repair it, most probably you will pay for new mainboard)! Do not try to repair trim area byself since trim area is unique on every device and its signed by rsa certificate so you can't hack or can't use it from another phone, your need backup from your phone, if you mess your trim area your phone will lead to hard brick without a way for repair, only new main board! Hope this help.
[Sony Xperia M2] munjeni:
Wait wait wait... You tried to backup? Overwriting your old backup? Or you tried to restore? Do in mind, diferencie between "backup" and "restore":

backup <-> copy from phone to pc

restore <-> copy from backup on pc to phone

If you owerwrited your backup and you have no copy, toooooo bad for your phone!
[Sony Xperia M2] Daniel Lovinho:
sorry my mess with the words, i tried to RESTORE, but no luck. It says "Ok" but i dunno what I do after this, because only restarting the phone do not solve the problem.

Hi!

Question; Im about to flash lollipop on my m2. When i have downloded the fw and making the ftf should i also leve out the "simlock.ta" as with the other 2 ".ta"?

My phone isent locket to any provider.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
I always exclude those anyway, if Updating from KK make sure you wipe cache and user data when flashing
[Sony Xperia M2] pork666:
ok. tnx for fast reply :)

edit;

the only options i have to wipe is applog and userdata, no cache or data. Is that fine or what should i do. Im on flashtools 0.9.19.10.

If you're referring to the Kindle Fire logo that comes even before that, it can't be changed because it's part of the bootloader.

[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] mshipXZ:
Is there any Kernel available for our device? That is compatible with 4.43 and 5.1.1 Stock or custom roms? Can someone make it? Hehe. Thanks.

Has features like:

- A very fast kernel that improves Ui smoothness and performance without overclocking Cpu and Gpu. Like other phones that has similar specs.

- CPU Overclock to 1.6 GHz.

- Adreno 305 Overclock to 500 MHz or higher that won't affect phones lifespan. (Galaxy Mega 6.3 has Gpu clock at 500 MHz so it's possible for our device.)

- An equal or better Battery Life.

Hmm, well there is, MTK6582 has no fps drop in the ui. Smilarly Snapdragon 400 is better (based on people thoughts)When you update T2 to Lollipop there is an fps drop happening on the ui, specialy the Notification Drop down bar. Where I happened to test a local smartphone that has same 720p display and ram but has a very smooth fps. Whereareas in games both device are similar in performance. Its just weird that Ui lags in SD400 T2 Ultra while local phone has MTK6582 is smoother but in games are similar. Its just sad to not see smooth ui in T2 even on Kitkat.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] staeff:
- Enhances Camera Solution ?

- Reduces Radation ?

- Ultra Scratch Resistant ?

My Bull**** Detector says that this is esoteric crap.

Just for anyone who think it's real:

" Nanofixit Titanium liquid screen protector completely replaces any other screen protector available in the market and is stronger than sapphire or tempered glass." If this would be true, Apple (or someone else) would have bought the company already.

"In fact, the nanoparticles in NanoFixIt Titanium actually increase the vividness of your screen, its colours and brightness. The effect is so evident that you can actually lower the brightness of your screen and save battery life." Wow. This is mind-blowing.

"Titanium ensures that the UV rays travel in a straight line and are not shattered by micro holes in the glass surface. We call this the NanoFixIt ‘Pixel Enhancement Effect’." Let me repeat: They call it Pixel Enhancement.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] liladams1:
What I hate is all phone reviews online are like ohh it has the latest corning gorilla glass or the Best sapphire glass. Who gives a toss when if you accidently drop it it will shatter no matter what. Even with glass protectors i had one and my note 3 still shattered. it cant be protected from all angles and about scratch resistance as well most people use screen protectors so I wont buy a phone just becasue it has this or that screen. nor spent lots of money on these tings. Ebay 2 or 3 pound stuff is the best.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NanoFixIt:
Hi this is Michael from NanoFixIt! I couldn't help noticing your genuine interest in our products and just wanted to help clarify a few of your questions. If you go to our website nanofixit and look under About Us - Press Releases you will find the actual documentation you are looking for. We have had several reports made which includes the hardness test 9H as well as a radiation and antibacterial report witnessed by SGS (the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company). In fact, the antibacterial report, which will soon be made available online, show's that the NanoFixIt liquid screen protector kills almost 100% of the most common germs found on our devices - the E. Coli and S. Aureus. This is a major find since we use our devices everyday and don't necessarily clean our phones or hands every time we've been in contact with germs and bacteria. I hope this has helped you clarify a few things about our product and if you have further concerns or questions please don't hesitate contacting us through nanofixit - Contact Us.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ins0mniac:
So, it kills common bacterias. Ok. Seems like after applying a small amount of this, these bacteria will die forever in our phone, they not gonna come back? Btw, normal hand sanitizer or wipes can kill those bacteria too & those are much cheaper. How come there is no review in the internet. There are so many other 'liquid' screen protectors in amazon, but few things are common, they don't protect from scratches & they are fingerprints, smudge, dust magnet. People needs to use microfiber cloths before using their phone.

If your product is exceptional, you should prove it by sending samples to some well know devs (eg. [MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION], [MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION], [MENTION=3798933]PapaMag[/MENTION]) in our forum. They can test it & review it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] magichoward:
I too requested a sample
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Yup why not send samples to xda members... i don't want one.. I just want other people to test.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NanoFixIt:
Thank you for your questions! Yes it kills bacteria and you're right that you can also use sanitizer to clean your screen with but that you will have to do on a daily basis. We are yet to test the effect over time but the nano coating will stay for up to 2 years before you have to reapply it again, which makes it more more durable than most screen protectors in the market. Our product is basically a multi-purpose product, which not only protects your device from daily wear and tear but also have other unique benefits such as the antibacterial effect. The Nanofixit product range is also different from most of the liquid screen protectors you will find on Amazon as ours is water based and does not contain any chemicals or flammable substances. Nanofixit liquid screen protectors will make your screen much smoother than the original screen surface as the tiny nano particles penetrates and seals all the tiny pores and it means that dirts and smudges will have a hard time sticking to the surface. Much like the leaf of a lotus flower where you will see droplets of water that slides right off the surface. We are still a fairly new company that hasn't reached a worldwide audience yet as we have been mostly focusing on direct consumer sales in the Philippines, where we are based. Thus we welcome any reviews that will make our products known to more people around the world.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] magichoward:
I'm a lecturer on mobile technology currently based in Thailand. Please send a sample I'm happy to do a video review
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spexwood:
I want to chime in with this:

Giving samples out to a few respected Youtubers and XDA members in exchange for honest reviews will actually be good for business.

LG did it with their new V10 and got a ton of PR through Youtubers willing to unbox the phone and use it for a certain amount of time. Heck, LG even encouraged dropping the phone without a case.

I don't know about XDA members, but A FEW respected Youtubers I know of are:

Floss Carter

MobileTechReview

JimsReviewRoom

These three will give honest reviews and will only do so after using a product for a week or two under normal user conditions. They're pretty unbiased too. If they personally don't like something, they'll mention that it's just due to their personal tastes and why, but won't hold it against the product since not everyone shares their same tastes. Also, none of them rate products (like 2 out of 5 stars or something), they only review.

Letting people sample your product in exchange for an honest review would honestly be a pretty wise business decision.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NanoFixIt:
Thank you for your suggestion and references to these members and we will surely consider sending samples to such users in exchange for honest reviews. As I've written earlier we have been mainly focusing our attention here in the Philippines so far and also had reviews from local bloggers. I appreciate your suggestions and will take it further!

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kisetsu17:
Hey Michael! Name's JB, based in the Philippines like you. Reached out to your local sales team because I'm personally interested to try your product, but I agree with the other members here in that you might want to send some samples to them to vouch for it. It does sound compelling, but I've yet to see other reviewers apart from one local blogger and self-made videos by you guys. If you're interested, I can help you contact some more tech bloggers locally--I work at a PR agency and have contacts from the tech media you might want to reach out to. Hit me up via PM if you want help!

I guess they must be selling as they are still in business. But if they can't afford to give out samples it's questenable I'd it works I sent an email to the company no response.

[G4 General] Aaahh:
Well that's nice, I was watching a youtube video and android system media crashed, figured it didn't mater since stagefright had been patched. I was wrong, seconds later apps began installing themselves on my phone, I didn't get any notification other then when the shortcuts were created. They were appearing so fast they some didn't even show up in my draw, they just were added to my home screen.

I'm on the latest version, and just this morning my phone was wiped. I got the message "deleting", but it looked like it was because someone kept trying passwords.

Mu number was transferred over from T-Mobile, only unusual thing. (but that was months ago)
[G4 General] autoprime:
It's not fully patched... was only patched against the first known set of vulnerabilities.

https://blog.zimperium.com/zimperiu...me-new-vulnerability-processing-mp3mp4-media/

I'd assume there will be even more in the weeks and months to come. And as for making use of the exploit... I assume everything can be fully automated... and fairly easy to generate phone numbers and scan thru millions... so probably won't matter what carrier you're on etc etc.
[G4 General] Aaahh:
Well that's disappointing
[G4 General] Aaahh:
Just ran the stage fright detector, I'm vulnerable to eveything but 3828. My OnePlus one is way older and isn't. °-°
[G4 General] autoprime:
the stagefright detector only detects what is patched so far as well... the link I posted mentions newer exploits not yet assigned CVE's and still no patch... and until patch is available from Google they won't have a fully up-to-date detector.

So even if OPO isn't vuln to what's currently being scanned.. it still may be open to others not yet able to be detected.

Of course that doesn't excuse Verizon from not keeping up to date on patches either. Many G4's have had recent OTA's to patch everything "known to date" (but will still require a new patch for the most recent findings)... I guess it's just Verizon being slow on updates as usual.

Stagefright framework seems to be like swiss cheese when it comes to remote attacks... thankfully companies like zimperium are on the case. But if I were a criminal enterprise.. I'd be focusing all my work on finding new remote attacks against the framework... it's possibly the most effective remote attack to date.

Frightening isn't it? :eek:
[G4 General] Aaahh:
Its frightening to know where it's being exploited, so much for privacy. That being said, how were the apps installed?

Assuming I was owned by an old hack

The first bug 1538 doesn't give you access to everything, just camera, mic and things.

Or am I wrong to assume that, and you actually more access with it?
[G4 General] autoprime:
not fully up on the chain of attacks possible with it to be honest... but pretty sure some of them can manage to get root... or at least system access... and from there you can do all sorts of things.

If I have to take a wild guess (and that's all this is)... I could imagine using a remote attack and gaining system/root access then downloading a compressed file containing a set of apps/scripts it wanted to install/run.. unzip.. install.. and does whatever it needs to. Kinda odd they weren't very stealth about it.. letting you see apps being installed on the homescreen.

Curious... what sort of apps were installed? And were they installed in data or in system?
[G4 General] Aaahh:
That's why I wasn't as frightened at first

They were stupid apps like knights of hearts and go90(what's this?) And rhysop something
