I think the basic perquisite before going in further with the customization would be a custom recovery.

Maybe then we can actually make some difference

İ thibk with the flashtool app you can relock the boot loader
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] mayanks15603:
Has anyone tried relocking the bootloader ?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iyun:
Latest.

I have bootloader unlocked since October, and yesterday I use flashtool update my phone to HK_29.0.B.1.55

So boys dont worry about unlock and update thing. Try xperia root and recovery.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] gsser:
We are not worried :) we just want root...
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] mayanks15603:
Something off topic :

I sometimes notice that after a really long power on time the loudness at full volume decreases and the loudness in earphones also decreases.

But it gets fixed after a reboot.

Also.. I was playing casually one day and i noticed that my bottom speaker wasn't working and my earpiece's speaker started acting as the primary speaker, the sound output was almost similar so yeah a stereo sound mod would be just perfect.

And since i have used Qualcomm and mediatek devices both, when i use my headphones they require more power to run so a lil bit of less loudness and punch is obtained on Qualcomm devices due to their limiting the power through the audio jack but on mediatek it can be tweaked using the engineering mode. I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any idea how to access the engineering mode on this phone, the traditional codes do not work and i have used the service menu code for sony it works but it isn't the same menu , meaning there is just no customizable settings available, any method to increase the volume like we could do with 'normal' mtk phones would be greatly appreciated.

Peace and regards!

I have followed the tut, one thing i cannot understand is :

THIS IS IMPORTANT

The rom has

recovery.from.boot.p

do i need to enter :recovery.from.boot.p

One more thing, in tutorial, says :

find recovery.from.boot.p and press and hold it from the popup menu select Delete.

I cannot find the file.

And finally, my E5563 shows rooted, and there is SuperSU app in my list, but the root function not really comes. When I try to optimize my phone under root, phone says need root.

Seems the root appears but not working.

OK I want to say root successfully! The above problems maybe come from android 5.0 itself.

Use XperiFirm by [MENTION=1879618]IgorEisberg[/MENTION], which you can download and install by itself. Alternatively, Flashtool (Sony Mobile Flasher by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]) has integrated it. When you open it you'll see a button that looks like a black circle with XF written on it.

How can I help? I'm a beginner with an Xperia C4 (E5303). I got it rooted (SuperSU), unlocked the boot loader, installed a custom recovery (TWRP), and also installed Xposed. Where I'm at right now is trying to figure out how to use JoelDroid's Deodexer to fix the camera and album, which have stopped working and force close.

Maybe we could also get some help from the FXP project (fxpblog.co)? I think they're the ones, who built the CyanogenMod for many Xperia devices, but I know the C4/C5 isn't supported.

Then I reverted it back to my Stock ROM which was 6.5.3.0 MIUI is guess by flashing it through the recovery method but it didn't worked so someone told me to flash the fastboot ROM that will help so I have flashed the ROM via Fastboot method and again opened my camera after flashing that ROM but that also didn't helped me.

Hi everyone,

i hope i didn't post this in wrong section,

my company is about to make a simple printed guide regarding how to activate LTE Only mode on Android phone,

in most of AOSP based phone, this will need a user to dial a what we all call "SECRET CODE" for "Phone Info", which is *#*#4636#*#*

no, my question is, since my company gonna do this as a company, not as a personal that post some information in internet,

is there any regulation/written law that tell what i can publish and what not? for example, is it okay to publish this secret code to public officially? will we break any law or agreement? or is Google allow us to do so?

2. I wanted to replace the default font. I used ifont but even if it is added to the system fonts are not replaced. It depends EMUI I have installed? you know if there is another app to be installed to replace the fonts?

Hello.

I have an Unusual 50x smartphone. This is a rather small company from Spain, I suppose they are just rebranding chinese smartphones, and this is why I can't find a rom that would work with it. They do not have a stock rom for this device on their website.

The specifications are:

Mtk6572S_00, 512 mb ram, 5 inch screen.

Even if some rom does start up, the screen is striped, like really, really striped, the phone reacts on swiping, but the screen is unreadable.

Could you point me to a working rom for this device, maybe a stock rom? I've tried the one for Cubot C-11, Unusual 55X, and some chinese mt6572 clones. None of this has worked so far.

If your Note 2 works just fine keep it. The Note 5 has been an overall downgrade for me in entertainment ,business, storage, and phone use coming from an old worn out Note 2.

[Moto X General] sherif2015:
Ahhh what a relief!! Downgraded back to KitKat and is sure yummier than lollipop which is in my opinion the worest os Google released ever. What encouraged me was the support drop from Motorola regarding upgrading to Android M.

With lollipop I had all sorts of bugs

YouTube freeze, speaker crackling, huge battery consumption, app optimization at every reboot, and a general heat issue that I couldn't figure out.

Did I mention the cell standby battery drain?!!!

I hated the phone period.

This downgrade made me remember why I bought it in the first place.

All day battery (I also installed Qualcomm battery guru which is helping me, this is a 2 year old phone so expect a battery degradation)

Very smooth ui. No heat. No freakin cell standby issue. Oh and all black ui baby.

I didn't switch to another rom because I didn't want to lose moto features.

The only drawback from downgrading is that I am back to " OK Google now" instead of "okay tarz " on lollipop. Minor inconvenience to me

Oh by the way, the wave to unlock feature/ bug in KitKat is awesome.

I used this guide which is for xt1052 though I have the xt1053 . u will need an unlocked bootloader and a moto firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/guide-faq-how-to-downgrade-5-1-to-4-4-4-t3182118

Oh when you downgrad, don't update the moto update service from the play store or else your phone will start looking for the lollipop upgrade.

A final thought:

This is the last moto device I am buying. Don't like lenovo management and ditching all those who bought the x 2014 on Carriers from upgrading to M. I mean some of them bought the phone a few months ago and their bootloaders are locked. Bad move.
