wow, i'm impressed :eek:. You passed from asking for tutoring to giving good tips in no time. well done m8 :) . All you need now is to manage the successful downgrade.

Are you sure your phone is still locked? Check CID status with mtty.

hi SanFordE,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] SanfordE:
Hi MagicEr,

How many times did you have to flash with 1.8.11

I have tried twice already and my spl is still 3.08...

Maybe downgrade to Wizard_Love 2.26? The rey the other way?

Any input is kewl...

no worries S
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] SanfordE:
WM6 is lovely...

All fixed on WM6 :)

Note to all good people, once you have flashed with 1.8.11 <-- this is only on a cingular 8125, even though the spl is 3.08, you can run your lokiwiz to CID unlock and then flash.

Many thanks to all the developers and contributors to this forum.

Sanford
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
hmm :rolleyes: not sure if the SPL is really 3.08 although it shows that.

The CID block protection is applied by SPL so if lokiwiz worked it means that the SPL did downgrade ;)

Glad you fixed it though.

cheers

so I would like to unlock my bootloader and try Project T kernel but I'm kinda confused on the GPU part, it's said unlock not overclock, so what's the difference between locked and unlocked gpu? does unlocking the gpu increases it's performance?

TIA
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimchee:
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash non Asus rooms, dies not have any effect on the course, overlooking is using a kernel that allows you to set the public speed above the manufacturers limits, sometimes it improves performance and sometimes not, depending on the how close the optimal the manufacturer has set the clock speed.

Hi all,

So I want to install leanKernel on my Nexus 6 so I can undervolt it, and I don't know which version to go with.

I have stock Android 5.1.1, and stock kernel.

Which version do I flash? lk_shamu_m-v3.0.zip or lk_shamu_lp-v2.14cm.zip, or lk_shamu_lp-v2.14.zip

I checked the FAQ and it doesn't have the info I am looking for. Moreover 3.0 isn't even mentioned.

I assume CM ys for CyanogenMod? But that still leaves me with 2 options.

Thanks guys!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleau77:
Hello, you must flash lk_shamu_lp-v2.14.zip (lp stand for lolipop)

Flashing any rom will likely overwrite the kernel with the one provided in the rom. However you can just reflash your kernel after flashing Slim.

Hi, guys!

I've been having this focus issue with my camera since the update to 5.1.1 Tried PC Companion Repair, wipe cache etc., to no avail.

So I did some research over the forums and it seems that the solution of last resort would be to flash the thing. Unfortunately, my Z2 is neither rooted or unlocked BL (and I don't want to lose the DRM keys either) so what do you suggest?

I'm really fond of this phone, even if lately I've been having some prbs.

Install the flashtool, set it up as instructed, extract the fw in flashtool/firmwares folder, run flashtool, choose flash mode, turn off your phone, press volume down and connect your phone...but beware this process will wipe everything, and I mean everything in yout phone,including apps, phone memory so backup everything before you start

No you don't need to unlock BL or root to use flashtool, just flash away. You can recover pretty much any kind of soft-brick / software problems with flashtool, it's really a great tool.

Dont forget kristijan15 advice and make backups before flashing.

Hi guys,

actually I have the Version ALE-L21C55B160 installed on my device. I would like to downgrade to another version because this version is branded (TIM Italy).

I downloaded the Stock firmware from this thread, copied it to the sd card (in the dload folder) and tried to upgrade/downgrade the firmware. I get immediately the Error "Software install failed!".

I tried via the EMUI Upgrader and via Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown Key but without success.

Somebody has a suggestion? I don't want to unlock the bootloader or root the phone (company phone).

Thx in advanced!

I have to do the unbranding on over 60 phones, so unlocking the bootloader is a bit difficult...
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daviddosa:
I've accidentally left the dload folder in my sdcard, and booted into the the Huawei Recovery which automatically started flashing the firmware. At 99% stopped, and said it's failed, but after restarting the phone, it was working and with the proper build installed.

But, if the dload method not working, nothing you can do without unlocking the bootloader for each phone, and installing each and every firmware by hand.

Yeah, it'll take a few hours to do it...

scaricare il firmware B133 EUROPA SINGLE SIM

2- inserire il file dload nella sd card - riavviare il telefono in recovery

3- partirà l'installazione e darà esito negativo con l'errore " installation failed" (fate finta di niente e cliccate su reboot)

4- una volta riavviato spegnete di nuovo il telefono e fate un hard reset dalla recovery

5- fatto l'hard reset vi troverete con un tema classico ed icone differenti alla precedente versione ed andando in info telefono comparirà come numero di serie BALONG

6- scaricare il firmware B049 (contenente il file dload e il file vendor)

7- prendete il file vendor e rinominatelo in "dload" ed inseritelo nella sd card del telefono

8- riavviate in recovery e vedrete che partirà l'installazione del vendor(dura poco più di 1 minuto)

9- finita l'installazione a reboot terminato avrete il vostro telefono sbrandizzato con il firmware B133

Hi

So, I was trying to install CyanogenMod using this guide: (oh darnit, I'm a new user, so I can't post links. Google Install_CM_for_nicki and the first link will likely be the CyanogenMod Wiki page I followed.)

However, as you've probably guessed, this didn't work quite how it should have...

Probably because I forgot to root. I straight out, didn't root my phone. I unlocked the bootloader like it says in the CyanogenMod Wiki, etc etc, and I believe that I did everything correct in terms of Fastboot, etc, but I forgot to root, which means when I try to install the OS from the .zip on the SD Card, it fails. I can't remember the error, but it's something bad, I can remember that.

I wiped it, which worked, but now I can't install anything :eek:

Does anyone have any other ideas? I can provide more details if needed.

Oh, and if it helps, when I do sideload and... sideload the package, everything goes fine (I used TWRP this time instead of CyanogenMod Recovery, and went to Advanced > Sideload) until the error appears, right at the end:

E:Unable to mount '/data'

The whole phone is full of "unable to mount" stuff. This is why I assume that it was a lack of root. The phone doesn't have permissions to access... itself I guess. TWRP then gives me the "Reboot now" button, I press it, the Sony logo comes and goes a bit, the USB cable still plugged in, then I press the volume buttons a bit, then CyanogenMod Recovery appears again... A picture of an Android with the blue apex type thing spins, then the menu appears with an Android lying on the floor, open, with an exclamation mark in a red triangle...

Thanks,

Tom.

9) The process will start automatically, just wait and when it finish, unplug the USB and turn on your device.

You will need SONY usb drivers, so download them from here.

Then reinstall Cyanogenmod, but follow the steps carefully from this thread

Hi There!

Thanks for your advice, but I'm having trouble... Part of me makes me think it's a driver issue, part of me thinks that something's not quite right.

So I do everything as you say, but when I press the flash button, hold the down button, and plug in the USB cable, I get this:

Why do I get the feeling that that's not what's meant to happen... :(

As for the drivers... I opened the .zip file up, but the only driver .inf file I could see two .inf files. I assume these are the drivers you are talking about?

I did right-click, install for the first (so0104adb.inf) but the second one didn't work, saying there was no security certificate. I haven't tried disabling the enforcement of security drivers on boot into Windows 10 yet, but I'm not sure that it would make a great deal of difference, as I'm not really sure how I'm meant to install them. However, I had a look through Flashtool, and pressed "Devices" > "Check Drivers", and I got this:

Hello everyone!

Ive been struggling with this one for a while.. and finally I got a good solution. so lets dive into it.

the big downside for this method to work and its the fact that your PC will be doing the lifting here so it will work only when you can use your PC.

Here's what you will need:

- Any phone with bluetooth capabilities

- A PC with Windows 7 (this is the only one that work for now.... thank Microsoft for that)

- PC bluetooth adapter and installed driver.

- VAC software - Virtual Audio cable installed

- Windows media player (you can copy the settings here to any player)

1. Pair phone and PC using bluetooth (pretty simple)

2. Open VAC control panel, set "cables" to 2, make sure "line" and "mic" are marked, click "set"

[IMG="1"]http://s23.postimg.org/z74fztmej/image.jpg[/IMG]

3. Now go to the speaker Icon on the bottom right of the screen, right click, "recording devices"

4. You will notice theres 2 new devices called "Line1" and "line2". make "Line1" default device.

[IMG="3+4"]http://s23.postimg.org/4f8t073jf/image.jpg[/IMG]

5. choose the Microphone you would like to talk through in call, right click it, properties, go to "Listen" tab, mark "listen to this device" and from the list choose "line1".

[IMG="5"]http://s13.postimg.org/6niat6trr/image.jpg[/IMG]

6. Repeat step 4 for "Line2"

7. Go to windows media player, click ALT (in your keyboard) , Tools and Options. under "devices" tab click "speakers" and then "properties". from the list, choose "line2". save and close.

That's it!

now connect your phone and make a call. the call will go through your PC to the microphone connected to it and you can talk normal.

To play an audio so that the other side can hear it, open media player and play it. the sound is being played using digital audio so this is the best quality available.

If you want to hear the audio as well there is another small step:

8. go to "Start", Virtual audio cable, click "Audio repeater [MME]". in the window, under "wave in" choose "line2" and under "wave out" choose your speakers. click "start".

I hope this help as I know there are so many pepole asking for it.

Enjoy!
