[MENTION=4590098]Miche1asso[/MENTION]

Fastboot mode works, I'm able to flash any boot image.

Windows drivers are installed correctly because flashtool repaired this phone few days ago.

Wchich kernel to flash? Recovey-friendly one? It's for 4.4.4, but last installed system was lollipop. I am able to flash system via recovery on bricked sony device? On my Oneplus One it's impossible.

Or rather any original kernel to revive flashtool?

Unfortunately most of download links are dead :/

[MENTION=6708791]tromine[/MENTION] It would be better if my PC companion worked the same... Support zone shows nothing.

Edit: I flashed this kernel: http://www.android.gs/install-cwm-recovery-on-sony-xperia-m2-lte/ It's a progress - its shows sony logo again ;) I tried few times to boot into recovery bu every time it stucked on sony logo. I pressed power off button (next to sim/sd) and left it for few minutes on c harger and... It booted into recovery :D (without any volume hotkey)

It looks like stock recovery on my oneplus or zenfone:

I am able to flash system using it? Only stock one or any?

O rather i should flash any other recovery?

Push zip file via ADB or any other way to tho this?

Or one question for everything: What's the fastest way to flash CM12.1 from there? :D

Edit: Nearer than farther :) Now I have CWM v6 on it :) But it still can't flash any system image

It says installation aborted; error in storage(...).zip; can't partition non mmbcblk device: /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
[Sony Xperia M2] wefhy:
Edit3: I tried 4 roms(stock rooted, CM12, CM11 and one more) and the same error. I have no idea what to do next... cant partition... maybe flashing userdata? It was flashed recently... Anyone knows what can i do?

sorry for doubleposting, i can't delete it.
[Sony Xperia M2] semil:
Wich flashtool do you use?
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
A couple of things: Did you update PC Companion to the last release? It must have the option to repair the phone somewhere. I can't help much on that because I use the OS X version, but the option is there on one of the top menu.

Anyway, since you managed to flash a working kernel (with CWM) the phone isn't bricked. From there (the CWM) I would flash a full custom ROM which includes a kernel with CWM, obviously wiping everything (cache and data). The kernel must belong to the ROM to avoid further troubles. At that point

hopefully

the flash mode is restored. But even if it isn't from there with the last PC Companion repair the phone.

PS: I realize I messed up a bit writing in English in my previous post. But it seems you've got what I meant anyway. :)
[Sony Xperia M2] wefhy:
I use the newest flashtool and PC companion downloaded from sony page. I updated them.

I searched few times, but my pc companioj just hadn't got repair option.

CWM wasn't able to flash anything(alwatys the same error)

Anyway... I installed flashtool on Linux Mint. It detected device immediately. As linux version is hardly outdated, it couldn't flash anything on this device(device list stopped on Xperia T/S - no M/M2) but somehow it unlocked my xperia.

When I next time tried to use flashtool on windows it just detected it and flashed stock.

Now I'm on 5.1.1 and everything works fine :) Thanks!

1) how to generate the apk to install the cm12 theme ? i download the template from cyanogenmod wiki (is it correct ? ).

2)decompile the 3rd party apps using apktool and dump all the pngs and xml into assets/overlays ? http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/guide-theming-3rd-party-apps-t3221714

2) You only need to add the modified files to the overlays folder. Moreover you need the apps' package name.

Example: assets/overlay/com.android.settings/res/...

Next time please don't ask in Theme-Threads.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jenovaa:
Hello, I have a Hermes (jasjam bought outright, australian model, on the Three network) running HTC's stock Windows Mobile 6. Occasionally I have a problem with messaging (receiving and sending) that I don't think is carrier related.

I used the dymond/black version of WM6 but the messaging application would freeze frequently, ie I would press the messaging hard button or the button on the Today screen and it wouldn't load the application. With the HTC WM6, it appears to be just not detecting the messaging centre.

I've switched it to GSM only mode for now to see if it works. One message has come through as a test reply, but its intermittent so uncertain yet.

On the subject of intermittent, I just thought perhaps it is intermittently roaming onto another message centre number (if that can even happen?) and therefore not allowing SMS transactions?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!:)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NX3:
I've got a HTC One Mini 2 unbranded which backs up daily and for good measure I just forced it to up. I'm switching to a Nexus 5x and trying to transfer the settings, apps and data as it offered.

The Nexus 5x only lists by Nexus 7 tablet, not my HTC , any ideas ?

The HTC backup app isn't available for the Nexus 5x so I can't get that to restore everything.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randman2011:
I've noticed that in the past with some of my devices. I can restore backups from my A500 or Captivate but not from my SIII or N5. Sometimes only my N5 is available. I never looked into it because I use Titanium Backup on all of my devices, but you might try disabling sync and then reenabling it on the HTC to force a backup. Don't know if that will work or not. My recommendation would be to root and run TiBu, but if root isn't an option without wiping data first, there are other backup apps that don't require root.
[Xposed Framework Modules] moneytoo:
CM12.1 includes unconfigurable feature which shows icons of apps in all Toasts (it was added in http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/107725/ ).

This feature however breaks some material design aspects which I listed in attempted patch: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/112265/

There are various opinions on this as well as proper implementation so until it's resolved I offer this module which allows icons on Toast from background apps only.

This module has been merged into new module http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.

i just current bought a new Xperia Ultra Z Model C6833 White Model

i want to ask if C6833 will get 4G net work or LTE

i current use T-Mobile

i want to ask another question does the Xperia Ultra Z C6833 have screen protector build in? already or i have to buy screen protector ? to cover?

please help and answer

am newbie

thank
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Yes it will get lte I'm using mine on T-Mobile right now.

It also has the shatter proof glass cover installed. I put a front cover and tampered glass on the back of mine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingkee:
It has B2 and B4 HSPA and LTE.

Be aware the anti-shattering coating is EXTREMELY scratch prone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
From all the ultras I've owned this never happen to me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Anti-shatter coating isn't a thing. The Ultra's screen consists of:

1. Glass (Dragontrail, which is very thin but more flexible than GorillaGlass)

2. Anti-shatter film/plastic screen protector on the glass

3. Oleophobic coating on the screen protector

The plastic film is easily scratched, not the glass itself, and the oleophobic (anti-smudge coating) coating will also wear off after some time, but that depends heavily on usage and pure luck. I swapped the display in mine since it was defect, and the coating on the first screen disappeared quite fast, while the one I'm using now has been a lot tougher.

You can remove the screen protector, but you'll have to either live without oleophobic coating, or you can buy and apply it yourself. This is something that can be bought on Amazon and so on.

I'm not directing this whole post towards you personally, but to people in general :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Yamcha67:
I personally have a screen protector installed presicly because people have said that it scratches easy. Personally I don't like the screen protector, since the one I have kind of sparkles. A glass protector would probably be the best choice, you won't lose much of the quality.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I am using Micromax canvas Mad a94. It is causing lot of issues with advertisements which pop up's when I'm busy and installs unwanted applications. I want to flash custom Rom, So I rooted it. Then started the issue with flashing

it says

E: can't mount SDcard....

So, I have tried a lot of methods such as formatting SDcard and changing between NTFS and FAT.

Problem not solved...

I have used SP tools, DFU tool, Broadcom Multi downloader

no response... Device is not even getting detected..

I am completely vexed with custom Rom flashing and wanted to go on with Stock Rom..

I have noticed some system applications causing ads, so I uninstalled it with KINGROOT app..

Now started another issue..

When connected to internet, It continuously gives notifications on screen saying

"Unfortunately, measures has stopped"

"Unfortunately, adobe has stopped"

"Unfortunately, system info has stopped"

and closes all my applications. Now I can't able to open any applications for more than 3 seconds.

I tried to Reset my phone from settings/Recovery with clearing cache partition/ third party apps..

Please, give a solution to factory reset my phone.
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Because the system partition was modified, a factory reset won't help (which only wipes userdata). To fix, you will need either the original APK's (to push back into the right locations), or a stock ROM.

This thread may help for the latter:

Please note, the links may be dead by now, and if so, you can "bump" the thread (be sure to mention the original poster, or "OP") once you have registered for an XDA account.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mishuno:
Using my new Mi4c for a few days and I am getting terrible battery drain.

Android and Android System are accounting for 19% and 18% in my list as well as the Gallery app showing 10%.

With not much use my phone goes down from 100% to 53% in only 6 hours. And when I say not much use I mean sitting on my work desk with the screen off from 9 to 2pm with my picking it up maybe three times for a few seconds each to send or read a text.

Just came from a Sony Z3 Compact which would still be in the 80% range with the same use.

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rickbovenkamp:
Have you already tried flashing a new, clean ROM on it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] bennaye:
I had similar problems as you, but not as severe. I ended up fixing it by flashing the weekly International ROM from Xiaomi . eu, which is a ROM that cuts out all the Chinese apps and all the bloat. Now I'm back down to 0.5% battery/hour idle drain. Another way would be to factory reset and try install your apps one at a time while monitoring your usage. I highly recommend BetterBatteryStats to help track exactly what processes were active in your phone, and any excessive wakelocks that might be eating into your battery. Lemme know how it goes, and I'll try help out if I have the time.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] keatbo:
You can root your phone and freeze all the apps that useless to you. This is what I did and battery usage works great.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mishuno:
Thanks for the help.

I am downloading the Official Stable ROM fro Mi as I type this and have also already downloaded the International Unofficial ROM from Xiaomi .eu.

I am going to try the Official one first then re-load in all my G Apps. I am a bit worried about installing the International ROM as I would need to install TWRP and root the phone etc..

I worry I may brick it in the process. I have given my previous phone away and do not have a backup.

If you know of anywhere with good step by step instructions on installing the International ROM could you point me to them?

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] MrTrynex:
Did it work? If yes, how did you installed that rom? Thx a lot, I have same battery drain issues on my mi4c.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dexxa05:
Hi Guys,

I have the same issues pass from 100% to 84% in 10 minutes... something very strange with this phone... Some people get 6hSoT..;

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
You can install the developer rom from en.miui.com , it already has root. It's in the security app, under permissions. And with an app like flashify from play store you can install twrp recovery. A twrp image is available on en.miui.com.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ShinDragon44:
Same problem here...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
The people who get 6h sot stay on wifi mostly, barely use 3g or lte, some only on 2g. And they probably dont use many apps, have syncs disabled, no mi account, no localisation, undeclocked, undervolted, etc.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
No, only no localisation, no chinese apps, no mi account.

Maybe the people with battery drain should look what causes it, e.g. double tap to wake or such things. Through the last years, there also where problems with "scanning always available" (Network Location Provider Wakelock) in WiFi settings, Emergency Broadcasts, Google Sync and Location Services which caused battery drain. Those things would be the first i would check.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
Already checked all settings. Its just because of the different use, thats why people get such SoT. Also if using wifi or not and the cell coverage.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Andiii:
and whether they are using Dual Sim or not :D
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rickbovenkamp:
I get 5-6 hours SoT in a single day or 4-4.5 in 48 hrs. 4G, I use reddit internet and whatsapp, sync on wi-fi and no undervolting and stuff. smiui rom seems to be pretty good.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
I am testing smiui right now. But I hate the notification bug, notifications never arrive in real time, even if I have apps locked in memory, manage apps disabled(or enabled and set apps to custom and work in background) and apps set in autostart. Its annoying,

thinking to just use mokee maybe
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rickbovenkamp:
Yeah CM and Mokee are better for battery life. MIUI to date is not very well optimized altough I think it's very convenient that's why I keep using it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
Well im getting 4h SoT and 14h ontime, I dont understand what setting you use to get 6h SoT
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] umbypsb18:
Try to disable the sync. option and to disable wifi scan always on
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
but if i turn sync off that means no more emails,chats notifications right xD?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] umbypsb18:
I mean to disable Google sync and mi account XD
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rhoefnagels:
Same problem here. But my MI4C goes from 100 to 0% in 6 hrs. without using it much. I've been disabling all kinds of apps, turning off Sync, WiFi, Bluetooth and so on. But unfortunately without any results. Battery drain will only stop in airplane mode. So to me it seems related to the mobile network. Perhaps somesort of bug in the ROM with specific networks/network settings? I'm from Holland and on the KPN network. How about the other victims to this batterylife horror?

I'd to install a stock android ROM. Guessing that should fix the problem. And I like regular Android a lot better than MIUI tbh. Anyone got any advice on what ROM to choose? I'm really new at flashing a ROM and having a hard time figuring out what would run on my Phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Flaxe:
There is only ROM available if you want stock android experience on the Mi4C: http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/development/unofficial-cyanogenmod12-1-mi-4c-t3226541
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mishuno:
Worked

Yes,

Worked like a charm.

I downloaded the Chinese Developer ROM. Flashed it using the built in updater app. Then factory reset the phone.

Installed Google apps. And now I get great battery life.

If I lightly use the phone i.e. when at work and it basically sits on my desk and I just use it to stream podcasts in my car on the way there and back to home or check the occasional app I can expect to have 80% battery left by evening.

If I use it moderately during the day - like weekends when I am out and about making calls - checking email - streaming music - I get to about 40% by evening.

I just came back from a two week trip in Europe for business where I used it heavily on a few of the days and was easily able to make it to the end of the day with 15-20% left. And when I say heavily I mean constantly checking email - taking pictures - uploading pictures - using maps - looking up info on the web - making and receiving calls etc...

So I am happy with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rickbovenkamp:
Sounds like a bad ROM from a reseller. I advise you to flash the latest official ROM (or the latest xiaomi.eu ROM). If you really want "regular" android there is a CM12.1 ROM on this forum which you can install.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] MrTrynex:
Which rom did you installed ? Can you please give me a link? Thx ! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
I take it that with 2 sims being used, one for data and the other for calls, battery drain will be slightly higher than one sim for calls and data?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] shangxor:
I have noticed recently that 3g drains battery a lot faster than LTE, at least for me.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] leledumbo:
Battery drain for me is caused by Sync features of MIUI. I've disabled all of them now and I get much much longer battery life. I don't know whether the NuPlayer is also responsible or not, but I turned it off as well (it's weird that something marked as experimental is set as default).
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Karly Johnston:
My battery drain occurs on WiFi, Android System stays awake an ungodly length of time dropping 7% an hour in standby.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] b3ava:
I would highly recommend spending a good 2 hours reading up on how to install SMIUI on your devices, or the International MIUI which literally has all the vital Apps (no chinese stuff that you can't disable). But the battery drain issue you guys are describing is rather strange as when I got my phone I didn't install a custom rom for 2-3 days and had no such issue.. This might be a faulty battery situation? To eliminate that thought out invest a couple of hours in research and installation of SMIUI or international MIUI or even Cyanogenmod. Its not extremely difficult.. here are is topic that will help you out:

http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/development/flash-twrp-using-flashify-app-pc-dev-rom-t3230355 Don't over think it like I did just go for it straight up. it won't take more than 20 min
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ShinDragon44:
With MIUI no problems for me. With CM and Mokee battery drops very quickly, sometimes it droppes 2% instead of 1..

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Karly Johnston:
I installed gservicefix and it improved standby as much as 50%. It is still at 3% an hour but it is better than 7%.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] b3ava:
Well that shouldn't be the case with SMIUI.. or international MIUI rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dexxa05:
What do you mean?!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] b3ava:
You shouldn't have battery drain issues with SMIUI or International MIUI as they are both basically skinned down versions of MIUI (just no chinese bloatware)..

I am not experiencing any problems with CM with battery drain with it (just a btw) maybe if you reflash it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Jiehfeng:
I tried installing the dev ROM, didnt fix the problem. Then I installed Smiui like you said and it seems to be fixed, but im not sure. It goes down by 1% every 5-6 minutes with regular browsing on Wifi. Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Whats wrong to lose 1% per 5 or 6 minutes browsing? This is normal for a 3000 mah battery.

1% per 5 minutes = 12% per hour = ~8 hours screen on time
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Jiehfeng:
Ah, I guess it's normal then. It's my first smartphone so I'm still new to how battery usage works. Sometimes it goes down by 1% for 3-4 minutes (rare cases; 2mins). But im guessing thats normal too? Nevertheless, Smiui ftw!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rtk217:
I'm on smiui 7.0.15

and the battery life are dreadful.

I get about 16 hours of low-moderate use of the phone. when screen is on the battery drops about 1 percent every 2 minutes.

when screen is off and LTE is turned off i get about 18 hours of standby only.

I have this phone for a week now. and I immediately put sMiui on it. I can't use CM since its missing my native language font.

I had another chinese phone with 3000 Mah battery and android 4.2.1 and it lasted me 2 (40 hours) days with my current use even after two years of owning it.

Hi,

I've been checking ROMs and settings in the last week trying to deal with some crazy battery drain. Was ~4.4% per hour when idle, 30-40% of battery overnight...

So what I did was the following:

1) Turned off the experimental NuPlayer in Developer Settings.

2) Turned off 4G and set the preferred network type to 3G.

3) "Forgot" the 5GHz Wifi and connected to 2.4GHz. (Still leaving Wifi always on).

I'm having now 0.4-0.5% per hour battery drain according to GSam. In the last 33 hours of minimal use (20min screen time, 14min talk time) the phone drained from 100% to 80%.
