[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SirValiantIII:
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did do a few searches before posting though.

I know the google account associated with this phone, as well as the correct password (I use it daily so I'm 100% sure of the password)

I have forgotten my unlock pattern (the one you draw on the 3x3 grid).

I'd like to unlock the phone, but it doesn't remember any wifi passwords, I cant figure out how to make it connect to wifi. I also don't have a compatible SIM card, that I know of.

Is there a way to back up the phone to an SD/Computer without logging in, before resetting it? I'd just like to access the old pictures, but if my only option is a factory reset I can accept that.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Can I flash this over rooted v4.4.4 without losing root?
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
I was not rooted so I can't really tell you, sorry
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
You will lose root if you flash a stock rom. To keep it, you have to make yourself a prerooted Lollipop rom. Or, you could flash the one I made myself in the Android Development boards for the Z3v.

the only thing I am not seeing is the drivers folder any help?
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
Look here for Win 7

Driver help

I am running Windows 10, after installing the flashtool i dont see any folders just the program itself. already try my search bar
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
Sorry I dont have any Win 10 machines in my world
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
Im not sure you have to install the drivers with Win 10, try to run the process without them and see. The worst that can happen is the flash fails telling you missing drivers
[Xperia Z3v General] jenriquenunez13:
Drivers

thats exactly what is telling me, i have been looking everywhere and i dont see the drivers. is there anywhere i can download them separate maybe?
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
I sent a message to @ pvcdroid to see if he could help you. He seems to know the Win 10 configs, Lets see if he checks in here
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
Bobby is using Windows 7 and I don't have a machine with it or 8.1 any longer. Windows 10 x64 did not require any driver signing through any of my update processes or with 0.9.18.6 so I can't help.
[Xperia Z3v General] krenogin:
Gave thanks to Bobby! Finally flashed to 5.0.2.

There is something important to note for Windows 8, you have to disable driver signature for the phone drivers to install. Only difference.

Phone is running like a champ working hard to update everything that was abandoned in 4.4.4
[Xperia Z3v General] Bobby Buggs:
Just a heads-up I use textra for my messaging app and when I open a message from the lock screen alert the keyboard will not Swype, I have to tap the keys unless I close the message and open it in the app. Only thing I can find wrong so far

Stuck

Hey all, Ive made a chunk of progress but now im getting an error message that says "processing of system.sin finished with errors" and it cancels the flash,

and now my phone is stuck in soft brick mode and is waiting for me to finish update...

any tips?

;(
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
Reconnect it in fflashmode and try again
[Xperia Z3v General] Bryentman:
i did, and now its not letting me even get into the update mode to flash, it just vibrates like its going to get into that mode then immediately cuts off and retries

bah humbug i think ive busted it
[Xperia Z3v General] drksilenc:
I used this xperiafirm and im not getting ftf files im getting a bunch of sin files? am i missing something?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
you need to use the flashtool to make those files into an ftf

Can anyone explain what is going on and why storage isn't mounting correctly? and bonus points on how to fix it.
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
Solved my own problem by looking at an emulators configuration.

In /data/system/storage.xml original one was this

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>

<volumes version="3" forceAdoptable="false">

<volume type="0" fsUuid="F720-08E0" userFlags="0" createdMillis="1420113722380" lastTrimMillis="0" lastBenchMillis="0" />

I added " primaryStorageUuid="primary_physical" "

so it became

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>

<volumes version="3" primaryStorageUuid="primary_physical" forceAdoptable="false">

<volume type="0" fsUuid="F720-08E0" userFlags="0" createdMillis="1420113722380" lastTrimMillis="0" lastBenchMillis="0" />

that fixed it, it stopped vold from creating the emulated folder

I'd love to know how to get this as part of the build process. I'll keep investigating until I have an answer.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
Hi there. I had moto g 2 non lte this year. Sometime around spring of this year, i was on a vacation. While on vacation, I dropped my moto g and my bag into a river and thought i would never see it again.

A few days ago, the authorities said they had found my bag with all my possesions and my moto g. they shipped them to me.

I would like to know if there is any chance of recovering my device? So far, I've opened the back cover and saw it was covered in water. Some parts were also rusted. The display has weird purple blotches around the edge. I have tried to power on or charge the device. I have put the device in a bag of rice and put it in a warm area of my house.

Will I need to swap out any parts? Where could I find parts? I'm willing to replace parts. Also, where could I find instructions for replacing parts?

Thanks.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
After sitting in water that long I'd be surprised it it ever came back from the dead. Also the worst thing you can do is to power on a wet phone. I would guess that you have some rust on the board, plus in the usb and earphone holes. I personally think the parts would exceed the value of the phone.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
Hi there. I've opened up the main board, and I have not tried power it on. I've removed the battery, sim card, and buttons. The main bored appears corroded and I dried it off. If I dip it in 91% isoploryl alcohol, would it remove corrosion? I also saw corrosion in the ports. If I remove all the corrosion and water, logically the device would work again, right?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Anything is possible, you can also put a wet device in a bag of uncooked rice if no type of desiccant or silica powder is available. That will absorb moisture from places you can't see. As for alcohol, alcohol is a solvent and can dissolve the internal adhesives. If it was salt water, that's even worse since it dries and leaves crystals behind. I'll be shocked if you get it working completely after soaking in water. I'm surprised the sim card didn't get ruined.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
At this point in time, I really don't care if the son card works or not. I just want to get to the point where I can power the device on and charge. I be read online in many places people suggested to dip your device in 91% isopropyl alcohol. Where can I get this alcohol and how much would it be? I have placed the device in a paper towel and put on top of a heating vent in my house. I'll see if that does anything.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
That's regular alcohol that's sold at any drugstore or store that sells first aid stuff. You can buy it in different percentages of strength.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
OH MY GOD. I CLEANED OUT THE INTERNALS, REMOVED ALL THE CORROSION I COULD WITH A TOOTHBRUSH, THEN SCREWED THE THING BACK TOGETHER. THEN I PLUGGED IT IN, AND GUESS WHAT, THERE ARE SIGNS OF LIFE!!!! The boot screen blinks for one second and goes away. There is a white led that constantly flashes. The device shows 0% charging. I have tried to boot it into recovery but the device keeps bootlooping. It turns on by itself, blinks white led, shows motorola screen, shuts off then repeats the process. I'll leave it to charge and see what happens.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
Okay so maybe I reacted too quickly. I'm trying to get the device working. So far, I can boot it into fast boot mode and no further. My computer recognizes the device and can perform fast boot operations. I have tried to flash the stock firmware but the device reports error low battery remote failure on some operations. The device still does not boot. I plugged in the device for about an hour, but the second I take it off the charger, it cannot function. The device still is boot looping when it's plugged in. What should I do now?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Make absolutely sure there is no corrosion in the USB plug. After that, I don't have any ideas, something in the charge circuit has a problem or something between the battery and board.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxfan:
I can't seem to remove the corrosion in the USB plug. Besides, I can plug my device into the wall or the computer and at least has limited function, however removing the plug will cause the device to loose power. The device shows up on my pc and I tried writing the factory image but the device is still in it's weird bootloop. My computer just keeps playing the USB disconnected and connected sound everytime the device does the bootloop. If I boot into fastvoor I can moto device manager to show and it says fastboot falcon s
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
That may be part of your problem. The corrosion in the plug could cause most of your problem. That port only costs 50 cents US, but I believe its tightly soldered in and if that's the case it would be very hard to replace without a special soldering gun.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
I have no experience with flashing on sony devices but I have on just about everything else. Any particular version (google play or stock) that I should pick over the other for flashing roms and potentially (hopefully) marshmallow? Any stock version numbers I should make sure I am not on to avoid being unable to get past rooting security, etc? Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sjesudasan:
I would recommend you to get the Non-Gpe version over the gpe version because there are more developers supporting ROM development for the Non-Gpe version. And also there are GPE ROMs for Non-Gpe version. So there is no specific need to get the GPE version.

Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra C6802
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Also, be sure to get one with an unlockable bootloader, or else you're screwed, so you should pretty much stay away from carrier version of it. Gaining root on an unlocked bootloader isn't an issue. Just flash or hootboot a kernel with recovery (since Sony devices do not have an integrated recovery), and flash SuperSU. That's it.

Other than that, nothing particular you should look out for. The GPe version might get 6.0 soon (we have no idea if it'll actually get upgraded to 6.0), and we'll be able to easily port it over to our regular Ultra. There are also AOSP 6.0 builds out there, but they are not daily driver material yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] harley1rocker:
Ive flashed,rooted and romed a ton to. I just recently got the z ultra. To me its hands down the best device ive owned. Ive had htc,note,note2,3,and 4,lg g3 and 4,tablets of the same above....z ultra is just as snappy. That being said,the cons are,its kinda fragile,dont stick it in your back pocket then jump in a car/truck. Well,not fragile,huge..sweet display.

As far as flashing its definitely different. No stock recovery. Not to worry though,nut made a installer for pc that will flash duel recoveries philz touch/twrp. And installs SU. Like the ever helpful kloas said dont buy a carrier locked device. Att,verizon,T-mobile. International version,bought from Amazon or the like. Sony allows bootloader unlocking. Devs also made a nifty lil tool for that. It wont come unlocked but its either allowed or not. This can be found within the dialer. You wont be disappointed with the phone. Even if u did get a locked bootloader one,its still able to gain root and flash roms. Im sticking with the z ultra till the price drops on the nexus 6. Good luck
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
Just ordered mine. C6833 off amazon. Pretty excited for it to show up. I had the nexus 6 and was never really satisfied with its performance. Then I got a lumia 1520 for kicks, loved the size, and wanted something equally big or bigger in android. I really like the stock dpi of the non-gpe version. About time a manufacturer realizes were not buying bigger phones to have the same screen real estate, just bigger. I want more space, more icons, more content.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] harley1rocker:
ZU deff has that. The nexus 6 was the phone i wanted. Ended up with this giant. And love it. When you first get the phone there tools that do all the work for you. Like,backing up TA. Gaining root and at the same time installs 2 recoveries. Theres a tool for unlocking the bootloader as well as flashing. Root, recovery and unlocked BL. All u need!!!!\m/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
Out of the box the Nexus 6 looks like its made for your grandfather to use. 4 Icons wide on the desktop, and everything super big. Changing the DPI on it is a must. I ran mine at 460, which bumped the google launcher up to 6 icons, wide.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braindawg:
My phone is completely unrooted, I just did a quick weak sauce root back on 4.4 which was patched with 5.0 I Uninstalled weaksauce2 and my phone has been unrooted and locked ever since. Suddenly I got a restart message in the middle of using my phone and my phone started looping yesterday.

When I try to enter the bootloader I can't do anything. The second I try to scroll down it splashes the HTC logo and then restarts.

Turning off the phone and turning it back on and attempting to enter bootloader doesn't fix anything, I can't access recovery. The closest I can come to operating the bootloader is mashing the power button to select fastboot, which just causes the screen to go black instead of splash the HTC logo before looping again.

Is there any way to fix this (or at least get the data off of it) or is my phone officially hard bricked?

What is the process for restoring the factory T-Mobile ROM?

I have an T-Mobile SDA which shipped with:

ROM Version 1.0.14.0

Operator Version 1.9.19.16

Radio Version 4.0.13.20_01.09.00

IPL ?

SPL?​

First I upgraded to:

ROM Version 2.0.9.0 (Qtek 8300)

Operator Version 2.5.322.1

Radio Version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01

IPL ?

SPL?​

Finally, I upgraded to:

ROM Version Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition

Operator Version 10.0.0.15341

Radio Version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01

IPL 2.00

SPL 2.00.0008​

I have no idea what the SPL/IPL versions were in the original ROM.

I need to return the phone for a swap under warranty (unrelated to flashing)

I have seen conflicting posts about whether or not there was a problem reverting to an older bootloader, etc. Most of the posts seem to be referring to the UK SDA (Typhoon), not the US SDA (Tornado). But they are similar enough that the concerns might be valid.

So the question is... How do I get back the SDA back to "factory fresh?" I have the original T-Mobile ROM. I downloaded it from HTC months ago. Is it as simple as running the original EXE, or will I need to jump through hoops?

Thanks for any help you can give.

[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Use TyphoonNBFTool and open the nbf file in your original ROM, you will see the versions

The Dopod 577w AKU2 ROM for my Tornado comes with IPL and SPL, so if your ROM comes with it, then it will be patched. Just run the ROMUpgradeUtility.
[HTC Tornado] dmcaylor:
Here is what TyphoonNbfTool gives me.

So, since it shows IPL and SPL are in the ROM, I don't need to worry about being able to downgrade?

Also. by going from WM6 to WM5, do I need to launch teraterm and "FORMAT BINFS" again?

Post is an and well what do we have here.....

Well packed.

Lets get started.

Processor 1.2GHz quad-core cortex A53 (64-bit) Allwinner

Storage 8GB or

eMMC 16GB eMMC

Memory 1GB or

memory 2GB memory

SizeHeight: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)Length: 4.9 inch (12.4 cm)Width: 3.5 Inch (8.8 cm)

H.265 4K hardware decoding

1080P HDMI output

Support for 1920*1080 resolution

Audio line out/headphone minijack (digital/analog)

HDMI port support multichannel audio output

Plugged in and on,

Small green LED in the front and Its not to bright.

Remix Logo or F2 to enter recovery

Get greeted with language selection,

Set up WIFI 2.4 GHZ only then check for Update. (system has the Latest version)

The Remix Mini features a capacitive touch power button unlike any PC of its kind. Rather than awkwardly feeling around the back panel for that elusive power button, just gently tap the top of your Mini.

Within seconds you'll be able to start doing what you need to do.

Apply a bit of pressure to the Top of the box or one Tap, Unit goes to Standby mode....Nifty tap again to wake up.

Plugged in K400r Logitech, looking good.

Screen Capture has a resizable/Snap square to capture all/or any of the screen.

This Is going to fun, and it is after a few days

This is a fun box if such a thing can exist, very much like running a MS$ Windows, all similar features with desktop

Installed Apps appear as a shortcut on the desktop.

Right click copy and paste, Close or minimise Apps with corner icons,

Software detected and running in 64 bit mode. Antutu bench test score 2100 64 and 32 bit

WIFI speed Good, as ether,

Did the usual install a heap of apps at once from Play all apps in no lag.

Using apps require one click as we know and using Remix is more Double Click I have found, may be a setting somewhere.

1920 x 1080 test

1280 x 720 test

Circle is the show desktop button.

Flyout window on the right click 3 horizontal lines Lower R/H.

Customise Icons on Lower Task bar as well as Hide lower task bar.

10th November Netflix is now Working.

Plex In and running looking good.

In the Left Corner of the screen there is a back Button for Remix this appears to interfere with apps that have a back button in the same location

Plex and Antutu Video tester so far I have come across.

Changing Resolution 1280 x 720 to 1920 x 1080 requires a restart how

windows 95 is that.

Some minor issues with running certain apps don't like being in a window environment but all will be sorted by the people at JIDE

This O/S could be a big game changer.

Haven't tried the ethernet yet, but wifi was working fine.

It did have its hiccups at the beginning and once I updated to the latest release it was coming together. I did notice on Twitch that once you clicked on the pop out window it would get stuck on the right corner of my screen, without being able to close out or anything. I would have to quit Twitch and get into it again.. other than that everything was good!
