Rooted Cat S40 firmware update

Hi!

Is it possible (ad if yes, how) to update the firmware of a rooted Cat S40. My rooting process was the previously mentioned Kingroot -> SU, but after this the OTA update does't finish, even with FlashFire.

[XDA Assist] iamsami13:
Hi there,

I've got quite a peculiar problem with my Nexus 5.

Last night, I left my phone on charge. It was working normally and the software was functional etc. However, once I woke up, the phone was constantly restarting itself, and wouldn't load past the boot animation. I tried to load up fastboot to enter the TWRP recovery, however, the phone froze on the load screen. I should also add that my custom boot animation was replaced by the CyanogenMod mascot.

This problem has never occurred before, and I really haven't got a clue how to fix it. I tried to use WugFresh's NRT to flash a factory image of Android 6, however, the command terminal indicated that each process had failed. This did not restore the phone to its original condition.

I should also point out that I have been running a CM 12.1 nightly, which has been very stable and I have been using this nightly, without major problems (bar the infrequent system UI crashes) for a couple of months. It is obviously rooted and I have a Nandroid backup, which I can't access for aforementioned reasons.

Please help me to bring back my phone! This is literally driving me nuts, and I haven't so far found a solution that works! I would be happy to clarify and elaborate upon any point of information.

Thanks,

Sami

[Huawei Watch] RngrYogi:
Hello Everyone! I'm reaching out to you to find out how I can somehow stop ambient mode from slightly shifting my display. I fully understand that this is burn in protection and understand the risks if I find a way to disable it. I found some mentions in editing the build.prop and turning it off in there but I pulled the build.prop and see no setting in my Huawei Watches file to edit it there. Can anyone let me know what I can do to find and disable this? I am fully capable of debugging over bluetooth so I don't need a full tutorial just where to find the file or setting and edit and save it. Thanks!!!

[Windows RT General] FlashyFlash:
Dear community, I know this was probably requested or asked a million times, but I am having a hard time finding easy to execute or atleast a properly detailed tutorial on how to execute this.

I've bought ASUS TF600TL and it came with Windows 8.1 RT, I am now limited to the few apps and I cannot do much with it, thus I would like to downgrade it to Windows 8.0 RT, which allow me

to jailbreak it and use the hefty amount of already compiled apps.

Would anyone be able to assist me with this? It would be greatly appriciated.

[Sony Xperia M2] Furugawa:
Hello!

This is probably easy but, I can't seem to find Jelly Bean stock Rom for the M2 D2306 model. My Xperia is on 4.4.4 and the boot loader is locked, so I wanted to downgrade to Jelly Bean and use the Towel Root method.

I just can't seem to find any firmware or good tutorials for my model, I've seen a whole ton of firmware/tutorials for D2303. I don't want to brick my phone and have only rooted two phones ever so I'm not very experienced with it.

The tutorial I was following was from naldotech.com for a locked M2 phone.

My Build

18.3.1.C.0.21

Any help would be most appreciated,

thank you! :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
You don't need to downgrade, you only need kernel ftf which you can find it in tutorial that Miche1asso made. Search M2 forum you'll find rooting methods with out downgrading.

Good Luck!

I think that KingRoot or RootKing can root your Xperia M2.

All the kernals I've been finding for D2306 have been removed or give a 404. I thought I remember reading RootKing has adware in it and wasn't really a full root, is that true?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubimir13:
It puzzles me since Z5's have SD810 which supports LPDDR4 type at 1555mhz so is there any reliable info one this subject?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
The answer is straight in your question.

It doesn't support it, it uses LPDDR4.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubimir13:
Any source for this claim? As per testing with benchmarks it does not perform any better then Z3C or some other 2GB RAM models. But it should, shouldn't it?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
Please. This is no claim. Look at QC's SD810 spec sheet. The SD810 only supports LPDDR4.

What Benchmark did you use? Let me guess, Antutu?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubimir13:
Spec sheet also said support for Cat 9 LTE and its missing i Z5's. And some other OEMs have mentioned that they put in LPDDR4 memory inside their devices, only Sony said nothing, not even ''higher speed'' or something like that that would be used in marketing purposes.

Yes it was Antutu since it has greatest public database on benchmark results of various devices and yes i know it is not 100% reliable but what else is there to test things out RAM memory wise?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
The hardware (SOC) is delivered by Qualcomm. Do you think Sony dissasembles the SOC and replaces the RAM chip with an outdated one?

Besides, i don't trust Sony's website. Can't imagine they cut down LTE. As long as there is no proof of the "speed cap" i don't believe it at all, as it makes zero sense.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubimir13:
I guess you're right, but still, i am not entirely satisfied how 2GB performs vs. Z3C's 2GB i previously had. Might be due to software optimization that is lacking...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
How do you conclude on the RAM performance?

Taking Antutu, my Z5C scores higher than my Z Ultra (LPDDR3).

Its about Hardware, there is nothing to be done via Software.

[XDA Assist] FinnTheHuman.:
Hi, I've brought my dead gionee back to life :D but i got some problems with IMEI's and SIM cards, and Finally decided to flash a different ROM with higher micromax version. (From micromax 25 to 52)

Now, my phone does not work and the new operation system is unable to load after powring on the phone which shows a black screen, with LED backlight on the keyboard.

I would have flashed the phone to recover it back but the sp flash tool gives brom error

"BROM ERROR: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005) [BROM] Can not pass bootrom start command! Possibly target power up too early"

I did a long research on google but couldn't find a working solution. So, I hope you give me link to an equivalent flashing tool or maybe you can help me solve the brom issue.

Thank you.
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist! :cowboy:

Sounds like your EFS got borked a while back. No flashing of ROMs will fix that unfortunately...I would try to get it back as much to stock as possible for warranty/service work.

Since I only see rooting threads about your device, you can ask for advice here:

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
[XDA Assist] FinnTheHuman.:
I didn't back up the EFS stuff at first place, that's why I think it's a permanant issue. In fact, I would have done a full backup after I had rooted the device but, unfortunately, it seemed that NANDroid, CMW and such custom recoveries were not compatible with it.

Thanks anyway. you did a good job :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nitemare15:
I know with Titanium Backup you can set certain applications to a specific data profile. Is there any possible application to do this without root on the Note 5? Like say I want to use two separate accounts in an application, I can easily do this with Titanium Backup, but unfortunately root is required. I'm assuming this absolutely can not be done without root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] enzyne:
Titanium backup won't let you do anything without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nitemare15:
Yes I know. I'm trying to see if there is a way to perform this function without root. Possibly with another application. Or is there no possible way?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chipstepper:
Hi,

i'm currently running the latest CM13 and have a problem with the Preferred network type. It stays on "LTE (recommended)" and i can't change it to 3G or 2G. In Phone information (*#*#4636#*#*) it stays on "GSM only" and won't change to anything.

When i go back to LG's Stock 6.0 all changes work. With previous versions of CM13 (first 5 versions i think) it works also.

Does anyone have any idea?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yavin5:
I have the same issue on my LG G4 h815. I cleanly flashed the latest nightly of CM13 (cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-h815.zip), after first upgrading to the stock 20A image and installed TWRP. I flashed CM13 using TWRP. Then I flashed nano gapps. H+ is the fastest cell tech here, and my phone just can't use the cell network (it seems to connect, but never shows H+ and no data bits are routed). And when I went into the menu to select 3G as the preferred network, it won't let me change it from LTE. It clicks when I choose 3G and 2G, but the selection stays on LTE. When I go into the special menu for radio options, same thing, I can't select a different network mode (it simply stays on the current selection). Wifi works just fine, but cell phone use doesn't work -- no calls, no data. I also upgraded to the next nightly, but it didn't make any difference in behavior.

[MENTION=7134058]Chipstepper[/MENTION] Can you tell me which CM13 image worked? I'm going to try cm-13.0-20151125-NIGHTLY-h815.zip ..

Same Problem here on my Moto X 2014. I tried every CM13 nightly between Christmas and early January. I was never able to change the Radiobutton in Preferred Networks and connection in phone information was always GSM only. I also tried a clean flash of the cm-13.0-20160108 nightly, still the same problem.

Now I switched back to my CM12.1 backup where it's working.

Can somebody name a nightly where it's confirmed working?

With xposed and the paid version of Amplify you can block any wakelock you want to. Not sure on a free or non xposed method. Kernel Adiutor will allow you to enable/disable certain wakelocks, but it's completely kernel dependent.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
Hello xda developers, i am new to this forum. Even tho i've used couple of guides from here i wasn't registered. So here is the thing:

My phone is the AT&T variant and is currently running GPe android 6.0 with OTA updates. When i was on sense 6/7 (i dunno) and 5.0.2 lollipop ( being rooted, unlocked, s-off) i was not experiencing any kind of casualties. When i proceeded to install the GPe, everything was perfect. But then i happen to open the camera app (Google's) and it starts making the buzzing noise and cant focus at all. my first thought was, maybe is the camera app. So i installed the latest version of htc one m8 camera and saw that it had the same issues. I'm starting to consider that this is a hardware problem. A friend told me to re-install everything as it was before this happend. Considering doing it but first i would like to ask you guya your opinion.

P.S: the front camera is just fine. The problem is on the rear one.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Change software (back to Sense) to eliminate the possibility that its a software issue.

Much easier than trying to eliminate the possibility of a hardware issue. Only way to do that, would be to replace the camera module.

Besides, if it worked fine on Sense, than suddenly doesn't work on GPE, its pretty suspicious.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
It looks like it is a Hardware problem. Went back to sense and still the same problem.

I'm starting to think that this issue might have been triggered by the overheat during the software installation and it's many consecutives updates. It really did overheat a lot.

But anyways, i guess ill send it to someone to check just in case its not just the camera. It also happens to make the same static/buzz sound when i open the flashlight alone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
How did you go back to Sense? I'd suggest full RUU to stock, before concluding its not a software issue.

What does that mean "overheat a lot"? Folks often think the phone is overheating, when its not even close. It would probably have to burn you to hold it, before it did any actual harm to the electronics. Temps of over 60C (140F) are probably needed to do any damage.

The phone has safeguards that shut it down, well before temps that would cause permanent damage.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
Well first of all, i didn't find a full RUU to stock. I used a custom rom. Do you mind leaving a link below so i can download the RUU?

my phones CID and MID are changed too, did it so i could go GPe. i didnt write down anywhere what my old MID and CID. Im just saying because i dont know if it would affect the instalattion process of an official RUU of sense to stock.

And about the heating topic, i don't know if the phone activates those security measures in case of overheating when you're flashing a rom or downloading/installing the updates you get via OTA. I installed the 5.0.1 lollipop (maowdroid's guide from youtube to convert htc one m8 to GPe) so, i had to go through like 3 updates downloads/install and the phone really got hot and never shutdown.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Go to the AT&T M8 General section. You'll find my Index thread sticky at the top of that forum section, and in that thread you will find links to every AT&T M8 RUU.

Wrong CID and/or MID

will

cause the RUU to fail (although SuperCID is fine). Finding the proper CID and MID is not hard, if you just search around the forums.

You can also try the current GPE RUU (and why didn't you just run that in the first place, instead of all the updates?). But my gut tells me to return to true AT&T stock for your device.

I see no reason why it wouldn't. Its a basic safety measure, so its probably enforced at all times the phone is powered on. HTC engineers are plenty smart enough to know that updates cause heat.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Again, saying the phone "really got hot" is not at all quantitative, and means little. Folks say stuff like this a lot on this forum; and when prompted for more info, its almost always the case that the phone was not even close to any excessive temperature. These devices get warm when under CPU load, all computer devices do. They are designed to tolerate a significant amount of heat, shutoff long before any damage is done, and heat damage is unlikely. As mentioned, it probably would have gotten too hot for you to even hold, before it can cause any actual hardware damage.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
I'll be looking forward for a stock sense RUU but there's just something that i don't understand. How come, everyone who fallowed the guide to convert to GPe with OTA updates haven't experienced that problem? And if they do, im sure they were just a few. That's why i think i am more convinced that it could be a hardware issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Things often don't install correctly when patching by OTA. Especially since user data is retained, and as you mentioned multiple OTA updates. Folks frequently complain about random bugs after OTA updates. Sometimes, these are cleared by doing a factory reset, sometimes not.

RUU is a much cleaner install, and completely wipes/re-writes every single partition (around 41 of them).

Which again, makes me wonder why you did an RUU to an older version GPE, than 3 OTAs; instead of just RUU to Marshmallow GPE.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
That's an interesting fact i didn't know. Very good point.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angel21612:
Well, in the end it was not a software problem.

**** me.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3jsd73jfx:
I just updated my phone from 6.0 to 6.1. I had it rooted before with SU and TWRP installed. After installing 6.0.1 it works great. I then installed the latest TWRP as well, and that worked fine. However once I install the latest SU binary and attempt to boot into the phone, I get nothing but a black screen.

I can boot back into the bootloader with the power button + volume down to flash system, and then the phone will boot again. But as soon as I put SU back on there, I see nothing but the black screen. Also, after updating to 6.0.1 I started getting the "This device can't be trusted" screen when turning on the phone. It still boots after that, but it wasn't happening before.

Any ideas besides wiping and starting from scratch?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Is that SuperSU 2.62? Just asking because you haven't said. I haven't bothered rooting my N6 this time, since my only real need was a firewall and Netguard does the job perfectly, but I understand from general reading that Marshmallow is choosy about the SuperSU version.
