[Sony Xperia M2] micsras:
Hi everybody!

I have spent the whole day trying to install Slimrom on my Sony M2 aqua D2403, and after I didn't succeed, I also tried cyanogenmod 12.1. I am already past the state of going crazy!! I hope somebody can help me :)

So, what happens is that after a lot of time I finally got TWRP to work and was able to install the custom roms (I'm a semi-noob, as I have installed custom roms on my old Sony M, but am still not very knowledgable).

I am getting bootloop on both roms that I have tried today, and I have tried it MANY times. Have flashed stock rom with flashtool by Androxyde several times and tried from there (Android 5.1.: 18.6.A.0.175, as well as Android 4.4.: 18.3.1.C.1.17) .

I followed pawcioo132's instruction from the slimrom forum: Quote:

1. Recommend to start at stock LP.

2. Update bootloader via Emma.

3. Flash recovery via fastboot (each i recommend).

4. Full wipe (cache, data, dalvic cache, system)

5. Flash latest ROM.

6. Enjoy.

Part 1 I have already mentioned here.

Part 2 seems to not be possible with the M2 aqua. At least Emma tells there are no services for my device.

So, I found a solution that at least let me enter recovery mode. What I did is i flashed (with flashtool) the FTF made by linuxct (from this post http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/development/twrp-2-8-7-0-updated-theme-t3252807), which is supposed to be the same as updating the bootloader through Emma.

Part 3-5 was no problem. Everything went fine (after I succeeded in finding the FTF file mentioned above - which took like 7 hours or so).

The only thing that didn't work was part 6. I have bootloop every time. The boot animation just stays forever (I have tried up to 50 minutes) on both roms I have tried.

Was it maybe because of what I did in part 2?

Does anybody have any idea what I can do? Maybe someone who has succeeded in installing a custom rom for the D2403 could tell me what they did differently or something like that.

This is my first post here. I have done my best to give all relevant information. If there is any important info missing, please tell me!!

The Roms I have tried are

- Slimrom custom 2 from http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/5-1-1-slimrom-xperia-m2-lte-t3244761

- CM 12.1 beta 2 from http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-developement-t2971213

Thanks in advance for any help! :)
[Sony Xperia M2] PauloHHB:
If u did all of this and didn't work, you probably have a D2403 with GPIO problem.

There is a lib file to remove to workaround this, but somethings don't work if u do this

(Sorry for bad english)
[Sony Xperia M2] micsras:
Thanks a lot, Paulo! Your post made me read a lot about gpio and in the end I decided to try to install the z5 s.t.y.l.e rom by linuxct. It is running perfectly and I am more than satisfied with it. Amazing! Thanks again!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Follow_and_Feel:
Hey everybody,

I'm experiencing some issues with my G4 since I've installed Marshmallow (20B - GLOBAL - COM). Sometimes my screen would just freeze and the touch display won't react, except the status bar and the power menu (if I long press power button).

The only thing that helps in this situation is to restart the phone. I wouldn't have problems after a restart for 1-2 days and then this vicious cycle would repeat :(

Does anybody have the same problem and knows what's the cause? Would appreciate any help and any suggestion :)

Thank you for your replies

P.S.: I'm rooted
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickyFoley:
Any 3rd party app in your mind, that probably would cause such problems? Did you do an update or any other known method (flashing through TWRP, using KDZ)? You can also try to do a factory reset - maybe something went a bit wrong if you did an update or dirty flashing.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Follow_and_Feel:
I can't think of any 3rd Party App that would cause such problems, no. It started when I installed a telekom App from google play though. But could that be a reason? I'll try to uninstall and see how things are going - thank you for the hint :)

I flashed the CTT-Mod for LG and the 60 fps mod way earlier than the Telekom-App, but didn't have any problems. I'll try to uninstall, but I don't think this app would cause such problems. Anyway thanks for your help :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] involver:
Yup same here... no fix for now, tried factory reset but no resolution yet. Mine has unlocked bootloader and yours?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] involver:
I've noticed the freeze only occurs when SIM card is inserted and netwerk is connected. Might be a modem issue?

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeky120:
Anyone have any idea why my video calls don't work? Every time that I try to start a video call, it tells me that I don't have strong enough signal (even though I can do anything else and have 30+Mbps download speed at the time)

I have tried with and without wifi, and I get the same thing.

Is this a setting issue?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
I've never been able to get it to work either. I know whoever you're calling also has to have a video calling enabled device and your cell signal has to be absolutely perfect

Hey guys I'm noob sorry if it has been already answered I was going to install blisspop so installed a custom recovery twrp the official one soft brick my device so I downloaded it from a thread in moto g original development thread it installed perfectly I was almost good to go I made nandroid backup using it it was accessible from recovery but when I view it from pc or es file explorer it simply shows empty folder or "/0/sdcard/twrp" not found I have read about a fix but I didn't understand how to use terminal emulator on mobile

Plz guys help me what is the purpose of making a backup which will eventually be deleted during wipes

Sorry for my annoyingly long post I'm noob

My device is xt1032 lp 5.1 us retail twrp 2.8.7.0 I have root access with SuperSU binary
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavanjadhaw:
Yes it is inaccessible from local storage to access it you need root. If you have any file manager eg Ex file explorer locate to root then data/media/0/twrp now it will be accessible and you will be able to see all your stuffs i.e backups, etc. Hope it helped you out.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizxy:
Thanks I found a work around for it even though I was not able to copy it directly to SD card folder with presence of twrp folder I made a folder named it xyz and then copied it there and it worked currently I'm copying the backup to pc thanks mate ur a life saver:o
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavanjadhaw:
Happy to know that it helped you ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G0rg0ne:
You can use a USB stick with OTG and make a backup directly from TWRP (last variant), so you can easy move your backup where you want.

Your kernel its a dream hahahaha I was waiting for a kernel with fauxsound since I've bought this phone. So, first of all, thank you very much for your kernel and we appreciate your work and your time spent with this kernel. But lets get to the facts:

1) In RR 5.6.0 your kernel cause bootloop;

2) In CM13 (specifically 2015-12-12 build) I had a lot of random reboots and the sound (specifically Play Music and Deezer) sometimes was cracking or just not played;

3) In CrDroid I had the same thing in CM13 but the rom has some serious bugs, so we don't count it;

4) In Nexus Experience 10.0.4 I just had ONE random reboot (take note: the first boot, so lets blame the instability of the rom) and, since then, my phone is working completely perfect.

5) With kernel auditor all of my preferences are saved and sticked after a reboot (in Nexus Experience 10.0.4)

Note: All of the Roms was fresh installed, wiped everything (including internal storage) then installed ROM->GAPPS (NX GApps in Nexus Experience and OpenGApps in the other roms)->KERNEL

Maybe with some work in your kernel and in the newer roms, this phone will gain some fresh air!

Thank you again!

Ps.: not an american guy, so please, I'm sorry for any english mistake :)

hey im having trouble with my moto g charging it wont charge or anything and ive tried another chager in the house im not sure why its happening
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sticktornado:
I wouldn't recommend this since it could damage the charger & the phone, but if you squeeze in the middle of the microUSB just enough and then plug it into the phone, it ends up making a connection again. I've tried it on my old S4 a few times; worked with all chargers that wouldn't charge initially.

It sounds like your phone needs RMA , is none of the classic troubleshooting works

Please click thumbs up :)
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I've done this a lot. I notice the cables just don't stay put after a few months, and squeezing just slightly with a pair of pliers will tighten the male end of the cable and it will grip the female end on the phone better.

Squeezing the charger will work as long as you don't squeeze it too much.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
many of us have had enough, let's face it the old school kitkat style of Huawei's multitasking/recent apps is a joke and destroy the whole workflow and multitasking of the device

My Plan is to collect as many names as possible and I will send it to Huawei.

What makes me angry is that even Huawei 8 seem to have the same multitasking look.

So I will make the same thread in the Mate 8 forum aswell.

Vote in the poll and write in the thread what you voted.

THIS is what multitasking on android SHOULD look like.

THIS is not what multitasking should look like on android.

Yes i'll Lollipop based Multitasking also.....

Let me guess one more "drunk" person on the forum ?

what are you talking about ? and why do you not show us screenshots of the actual multi tasking apps menu ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] abdalla9921:
I dont have the pics as i said i took it from a chinese forum i donot know how marshmallow multitasking look like
[Ascend Mate 7 General] khalid mgahed:
yes please I love my mate 7 very much BUT I hate every bit of EMUI multitasking and notification part .
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Yes I agree. Well the sad part is there is no easy way to get rid of this EMUI multitasking, a different launcher will not help, if you go thru great pain to root the device and modify the software a lot you can get rid of it, but it is not easy. If it was possible to change with laucnher it wold be no problem, unless you root no matter what you do if you push the multitask/recent apps button it will lead to the EMUI recent app pages, which is usless, the main reason for that it lacks of "overview, only "4 taps" are visible, while with android vanilla way you can over 20 tabs or more visible in just an overview, which is very superior, also it goes a lot faster to swipe thru all tabs, while in the EMUI you have to swipe thru packages, this is typical "chinese brainless" software design. That it looks almost the same for the Mate 8 does make me very angry, this is a dealkiller for me, multi tasking is important, I used the LG G3 for 3 months during my Mate 7 was on repair I did really like the standard recent app tabs, it is so superior so much faster and flexible, I have no idea why the chinese do not see this, there is no benifit at all with EMUI's recent apps functionality, it is also to slow and responsive to be useful. it should be fast and snappy as it was on ,y LG G3. Shame on you Huawei...I hope you are reading this.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] khalid mgahed:
Can you guide me to switch to stock recent apps
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
For multi tasking I have now found a life chahing app..

Really recommend this one!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.echoff.easyswitch&hl=sv

the only downside with it is that the logo looks almost like skype.

Symtoms of using this app is that you very rarely use the home buttton even though I use nova launcher

there is not need to go back to home screen, just one swipe the left and you will get all your app icons ONTOP the screen you are on..

Also super fast to switch between the last used app and the app you are using. both apps are loaded in memory so the translation is seamless.

Hello Everybody,

So, had to re-register and not allowed to post in the Dev Forum but to be honest wasn't here for at least 3 years but now back on Android.

Here a rundown where my problem is:

- Sony XPERIA L rooted and unlocked bootloader

- installed TWRP via google store

- booted into Bootloader and installed PacMan ROM (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/development/rom-pac-t2749055)

- upgrade worked however none of the google services work

- loaded room a 2nd time - no luck

- did a reset and it removed all installed programs - incl. TWRP Bootloader

- Google Services still don't work and if I try to boot into the bootloader it's gone oO

So, I need to manually install a boot loader - as I am familier with TWRP I wanted to get the APK file but on the website I only find IMG files and the link to the APK file is gone.

If I try to boot into bootloader, it just goes into a black screen - need to pull the battery.

Thanks for any help.

Did you try to hard reboot the phone?Still stuck at TWRP?
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
What do you mean by Google services didn't work? I assume you flashed gapps correct?
[General Questions and Answers] 0rku5:
Even during initial boot up, when you try to login to the google account it just came up with the error it can't connect to the services.

After everytime it just came up with the error message "Goolge Sevices have stopped" and you could just press "OK".

However, at the moment my problem is that the phone is basically useless - need to find a way to get into TWRP or get any bootloader on it via fastboot only.

Windows (W8.0 64bit) does recognize the USB device but does not recognize the phone.

If I use for example: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it let's me change the boot image, but still doesn't work.

It worked initially with v2.8.7.0 but after I tried to reflash CM12 on it, it rebooted and since it makes the troubles :(

I went thru this list unsuccessfully:

twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img

twrp-2.8.50-taoshan.img

twrp-2.8.6.0-taoshan.img

twrp-2.8.7.0-taoshan.img

[General Questions and Answers] v7:
With the above code you flashed the TWRP recovery to the boot(kernel) partition.

1.Download boot.img from the link.

2.Boot your device to fastboot mode and use

fastboot flash boot boot.img

to flash the kernel.

3.Download any Xperia L rom to your External SD.

4.Now boot the device to Philz recovery by tapping volume up button in bootsplash.

5.If you successfully enter the recovery,then wipe system,data and flash the ROM.

Download ThunderZap 4.16.

Open the zip.You'll find the boot.img.Flash it in fastboot with the command I mentioned in last post.The kernel comes with inbuilt Philz recovery.So you can boot to recovery and flash the ROM.
