Also wanting a little bit more info about the Gservicefix; After downloading and running it, do you still need to have it or can it be deleted? And yeah, exactly what does it do and is it a safe app etc?

its the app that scans every picture you take ,in order to find faces.its only for album application,and only if you use this feature to categorize your photos based on the people that are showing in those pictures.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runemail:
Still amazing that you should even need to look at a list of fixes and hacks to get a flagship device like the z5c working. My camera app is still painfully slow, as is focus to actually take pictures. Yesterday lag was so bad I had to restart my phone to be able to make a phone call. Still puzzeled by how this phone got good reviews? My worst android experience ever. The downward spiral just continues for Sony.

i used cwm to wipe my phone but i did not flash it with rom instead i rebooted the phone & now it's stock on the Sony logo. please help this is not even my phone

i did try to use flashtool to flash stock tft but unknown sources & debugging must be enabled but the phone is stuck on the Sony logo so i can't even enable these settings. please if you can help then do,thanks very much

the phone's boot loader is locked by O2 & i had lollipop for LBL installed but it was getting very laggy so i tried to install another rom when i then messed up everything !!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvind7352:
1.Flashtool needs USB Debugging for Rooting ur Device, not Flashing

So don't worry about it, go for flashing

2.In Case u Wipe Entire Phone I.e.System, Data, Cache then the Phone won't skip the Boot Logo

According to me, the Recovery should b Accessible, So flash any ROM present in the Storage (if its urgent for u to have the phone working)

OR

Use Flashtool, it will help you recovering ur Phone

Go for the Flash tool method, read the Procedure Carefully

Good Luck

i managed to do it ,windows 10 64bit did not work so i booted to 2nd partition with win 7 32bit this also gave me lots of trouble for 2 hours but closing the flashtool app & disconnecting the phone few times & just as i was about to give up it's started to flash stock jellybean 4.1.2 & now the phone is working & currently the sony Companion app is updating it i think to 4.3 jelly bean. i will not mess no more with this phone,lollipop for LBL is a no go & because O2 locked the bootloader i will just keep it the way it is & just customise it with smart launcher & lock screen. thanks very much for your comment as it would have made me not give up & try again tomorrow. i appreciate it :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvind7352:
I assume that you have tried the RR (5.0.2) LBL Bug-Fixed by Skulltus, if not then give it a try since LBL Users are finding it somewhat stable...

Reasons why Phone wasn't getting detected can be:-

>Improper Downloading of File - Make sure you don't Pause and Resume the Downloads too many times, so that it becomes corrupt

>Wire-- Use a Sony USB Cable only or a Good one ( i use Samsung's Cable for the Timebeing) -- Improper wires can be a reason why the Phone can't get detected by The PC...

>Try Another USB Port to Connect the Phone if it doesn't get detected by one...

These things happened with me Many times, Just Sharing it

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OCDaniel:
Hey, I'm in pretty much the same situation here, except I am having a few problems which are keeping me from going back to the stock firmware.

1) The phone keeps restarting when it's in flashmode - meaning it's sitting there for 30 seconds or so with flashmode and the green light, and then disconnects and turns back on into flashmode. This is keeping me from being able to flash anything because the device disconnects through the process.

(Yes, I did try reinstalling the programs, updating drivers, restarting computer, using a different usb port/cable etc)

2) I did manage to make it stay connected somehow last night BUT flashtool would give me errors involving .sin's of some kind. I could get past all this by flashing the stock firmware using "repair my phone/tablet" in Sony PC Companion, which I have done twice before so I can confirm it works - but for some bizarre reason the software started saying that there is no firmware available for my device!

Please help!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvind7352:
2->If you have already flashed A Firmware via Flashtool and u want to perform another,

then you have to RESTART it (the App) Otherwise it will show

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvind7352:
I didn't try the LBL ROM since I Unlocked the Bootloader but still,

In All ROMs when I install an app from the SD Card, they get vanished on rebooting.... It reads the SD Card and the App Appears

I guess there's a "Move to Phone" Option in it, try doing that for those apps installed in SD Card

There should be an Option of-

"Preferred Install Location" either in

--Settings->Apps(Select the Menu)>Preferred Install Location

OR

--Settings->Storage->Preferred Install Location

Default Option can be "Let the System Decide"

Change it to Internal Storage

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agantai:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
Hey guys, Kyuubi10 here again.

A little background to the problem:

I was building B14CKB1RD kernel to work with SkyDragon GPe and everything went fine apart from Wi-Fi it seems, so far haven't found anything else malfunctioning.

Possibly battery, which is stuck at 33%, but I have calibrated it and now just waiting for the phone to run out of power again and reboot it to test this out.

3g and bluetooth work fine, haven't tested 4g yet because I'm not in a 4g zone....but I'll try eventually.

Now to deeper details about what I did.

B14CKB1RD kernel doesn't have a ramdisk compatible with SkyDragon ROM, therefore I had to build it with a compatible ramdisk.

So I extracted it and put B14CKB1RD's zImage into a stock kernel, replacing it's own zImage.

At first I did other stuff, which broke all connectivity hardware (nfc, bluetooth, mobile data and wifi), the one which worked best was swapping out only the zImage. This works completely - to my knowledge - except for wifi.

Do any of you experienced developers know how to fix this? I'll be researching myself until I find a solution, any help would be highly appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
Ok, an update into the issue...

After trying multiple things I came to the conclusion that I just simply have no idea of what I'm doing hehe.

I did figure out that the battery stuck at 33% is definitely a bug.

But I'd still appreciate is someone could explain to me in nooby terms what went wrong. Since I followed some guides yet none of them seemed to work for me.

A brief explanation of what I tried...I downloaded a boot.img from the original thread. Also downloaded the stock boot.img, and downloaded ElementalX kernel as well, just to try it out.

I unpacked each boot.img, and I tried mixing them up in a variety of ways. Since I wanted B14CKB1RD's kernel I used it's zImage, and since I knew that the stock kernel ramdisk and elementalx ramdisk both worked with SkyDragon I tried once with each, swapping their zImage for B14CKB1RD's zImage, while keeping their ramdisk.

Both resulted in Wi-Fi and the previously mentioned battery bugs.

I know that Modules weren't the problem, I did a variety of tests with them as well, but the one constant thing is the problem mentioned above.

What confused me the most is that when I used the B14CKB1RD boot.img by itself even though almost nothing worked battery seemed fine. No battery bugs.

With the other two boot.img files when I extracted them from their respective zips, and put them into my own zip the battery was fine, what failed to work in that instance was the Wi-Fi.

So yeh, just sharing my experiments with you guys, if any of you is able to explain it simply to me I'd seriously appreciate.

But for now I'll simply ask around to see if anyone has already done what I need, rather than breaking things doing it myself :)

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to announce my kernel for the P6000 Pro, whooohooo! It is basically stock with 1.5 Ghz for now but my tester [MENTION=7014301]Nikolaosf[/MENTION] is currently testing the DoubleTap2Wake build, so this will probably come soon as well to this device.

The usual disclaimer applies:

*/

Changelog:

0.7:
* 1,5 GHz Overclocking!

Source: https://github.com/visi0nary/android_kernel_elephone_p8000

How to install:

Either use rashr or unlock fastboot and follow these steps:

1. Download kernel

2. Go to download directory.

3. Reboot device into fastboot mode.

4. Type "fastboot flash boot visi0narys_kernel_p6000_pro_vx.x.img"

Props fly out to to:

* carliv, I learned a lot from you!

* Eugen, for the Skype support and for being an awesome guy!

* showp, thanks for DT2W!

* [MENTION=7014301]Nikolaosf[/MENTION] for testing over and over again!

* everyone else I forgot

Q&A:

Can I still use 1.3 GHz as maximum frequency?

-> Yep, just limit it manually. A convenient way to do this is the app Trickster Mod for example.

I'm excited to get feedback so please report back if you find any issues but please let me also know if everything works ;)

Please note that I don't own the device and am building blindly, so leave feedback if something is broken! The kernel is built from P8000 sources and I'd like to port my work to the P6000 Pro.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nikolaosf:
It is working perfectly the oc 0.7v...thanks thanks thanksss!!!!

Testing DT2W
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blahmartinblah:
Nice one [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION].

It would be great to see DoubleTap2Wake. The P6000 Pro also has the bug where the capacitive buttons will wake the phone (They don't wake the phone when it's been freshly booted, only after a certain period of up time). I believe you addressed that on the P8000 kernel?

Here is my test on my P6000 Pro running stock 5.1 ROM:

Trickster MOD reports max frequency of 1495MHz

AnTUTu Benchmark 5.7.1 64 bit

Stock kernel:

36157

35860

visi0nary's 0.7 kernel:

37452

37152

I will report back any other observations.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nikolaosf:

[MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION], There is commit 66de890a92e172155c54e860896e6fe03761a5da in visi0nary kernel repo on github.

https://github.com/visi0nary/androi...mmit/66de890a92e172155c54e860896e6fe03761a5da

It's essential, because it enable touch in recovery mode, thus it would be possble to have working TWRP on P6000 Pro.

Can I kindly ask you to build a fresh version of visi0nary's kernel for P6000 Pro with this commit applied.

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlueFlame4:
Don't have time for these things now but the defconfig is online so feel free to build it :) The OC is only visual btw so this kernel is basically useless now. Will add DT2W one day though ;) BTW I am visi0nary on GitHub so I know what commit you're talking about, haha.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blahmartinblah:
Sorry for a newbie question, but what is the different between a P6000 Pro and P8000 boot.img file?

When you say 'build' - is it unpacking the P8000 boot.img you created, and repack for P6000 Pro? Or does it need to be compiled from the Github source for P6000 Pro?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlueFlame4:
No worries, asking questions is the best way to learn :)

The kernel has to be compiled again as the configs differ because of different hardware. Afterwards it is repacked into its own ramdisk, yep.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lion567:
:good:

Can you provide me with correct commands sequence for compiling kernel for P6000 Pro after I cloned your repo with git?

It seems, that

lunch k01ts_a
make bootimage

shouldn't work :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlueFlame4:
Well, I build the kernel standalone for now so without importing it into CMs build chain.

make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- xxxxxx_defconfig

Sets up your kernel config.

make -jX

Compiles with X cores. Defconfigs can be found unter arch/arm64/configs and the resulting image is under arch/arm64/boot (it's the dtb one). If it doesn't work right away you gotta set $ARCH to arm64.

Depending on what toolchain you use you have to add it to your $PATH.

Happy hacking!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blahmartinblah:
Thanks [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION]

I was trying to get that to build last night too. Appreciate your help! I will try again later with thus new knowledge.

Martin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lion567:
Thanks a lot!

k01ts_a_defconfig is correct defconfig for building P6000 Pro kernel isn't it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlueFlame4:
Yes if I recall correctly. But you can easily find it out - e.g. in build.prop or just from the file name from original ROMS.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lion567:
Thank you!

Yes P6000 Pro has k01ts_a name in stock build.prop

ro.product.device=k01ts_a

but there are several defconfig files with similar names, so I was in doubt. :)

Finally I've managed to buid fresh kernel for P6000 Pro from your repo succesfully! Thank you very much!

I've repacked PhilZ 6 image (which I've already used with hardware buttons only) with this fresh kernel and it became fully touchable!!! :good:

And AromaFM filemanager for recovery also works fine with touch now!
