[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
I think you could try make update from card. If you get bootloader it should go without a problem :)

This is only my opinion, I may be wrong, but I would try this (extract CHEEIMG.nbh to fat32 formatted card and make card update procedure like described hundert times on this forum).
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] motorwayne:
Cheers! I'll give that a go....Yep, read the process for making up boot loader with all the previous stuff.

Thanks very much.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niklas_:
I've looked into different forums and couldn't find anything related to my problem. If there is something I didn't see please tell me :D

I'm using the EU Galaxy S6 SM-G920F on rooted stock Rom 5.1.1 and the front camera is really bad.

I'm getting the worst results when the night mode kicks in. Everything is just blurry and not pleasant to look at. And when the lighting is good the images turn out very well but when "shaking" the phone its really chopped up like on bad webcams. BUT if I turn on things like the b/w filter (so that the beauty mode completely shuts off even though it's set to 0 already and things like the night mode are disabled) everything is smooth.

Is there a way I can create a filter/effect for the camera that looks like "no filter" but turns off the beauty mode or does anybody know how I can mod the camera to disable beauty mode completely?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Hi all! I've been reading along with many an XDA thread for years now, and most people have asked my questions and found answers to them without me becoming active in any way. This will now change - I hope you can help me.

I own an unbranded Sony Xperia Z1 compact (amami). Upon receiving it, I backed up the TA partition, unlocked the bootloader and followed the steps to install Cyanogenmod (currently running the latest available nightly, CM12.1). All has worked well for a nice, long time now. I know, never touch a running system, but for a variety of reasons, I want to do the following:

Update the bootloader to make use of the proper recovery partition Sony has made available.

Install either TWRP or CWM (rather the former than the latter) to a proper recovery partition.

Be able to fool around for real once I have a proper NANDroid backup that I can actually use.

I've been able to make a NANDroid backup, that's easy. However, as far as I know, I can't use that backup with my current CM recovery. I can replace CM recovery with TWRP or CWM (with some tinkering, which is fine), but the fact that there's a way to get a proper recovery partition and that I'm currently not able to use it irks me. Perhaps some of you will understand ;)

Now, when I install the official Sony Flash Tool (Emma), I'm offered two "services":

D5503 14.5.A.0.270 Customized_NCB 1279-4149 R2D User COM

D5503 14.6.A.1.236 Customized_NCB 1279-4149 R3D User COM

Neither of which are the "Open Devices" bootloaders listed by the FXP folks on their blog entry (sorry about the improper links, but I have no choice): ttp://fxpblog.co/2015/05/01/finally-boot-to-recovery-enabled-in-special-bootloaders-from-sony.html, and according to Sony itself, the Z1 compact should be supported: ttp://developer.sonymobile.com/2015/05/18/recovery-mode-now-available-for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/

So my question to you all is this: Do I need to flash a complete stock ROM (losing my data, etc.) in order to make the new bootloader possible on amami? And if so, should I restore the TA partition I backed up in the very beginning before doing any of that? Or is what I'm trying to do pointless? If it's not pointless, is there a way to update the bootloader without wiping the phone?

Thanks for your input, guys!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Check the other drop-down boxes on Emma. There should be one for 'ta update'. That's the one you want. It's been several months, so I might not be remembering right, but I'm pretty sure. Once you do that, use fastboot or Rashr to flash a compatible recovery img, and you can access the new recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Nope, no drop-down boxes. The only one is labeled "Filter", but that's empty. I can enter something, but entering "ta update" gets me nothing new. If I leave it empty, I get shown two "services", but they both seem to be complete stock re-flashings, so no dice.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Interesting. Is that with the phone connected? If so, are you sure that it's not already updated, (have you had it since new)? I did it while on 270, (or maybe sooner), and there were a couple of options to update rom, but I didn't update, and there was also a 'ta update' option.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Yup, right after I connect the phone. It's recognized immediately as well, so I'm not sure there's anything I could have mucked up in that regard ;)

I've had the phone since August 2014, so well before the bootloader upgrade was made public. I have no idea whether this might have been part of some CM update or something? I doubt it, but I don't know enough about these things to assess that to any reasonable degree.

At any rate, I know that I've done nothing with the phone's bootloader besides unlocking it after getting the phone. So if it was updated somehow in the meantime, it must have been someone very sneaky (and none of my friends, that's for sure - my limited experience makes me the "smartphone nerd" among them).

I will add this: In order to backup the TA partition back in the day, I did have to flash numerous official stock firmware downgrades to get to the point where I could use a root exploit to even get at the TA partition. Perhaps that got something mixed up, I dunno. But that's kinda what I'm trying to figure out - whether there's any point in going back to stock (completely, mind - including the TA partition), and if this might work then. I could then just unlock the bootloader again and go back to CM with a proper recovery partition, not the current workaround.

What's the "270" that you mean? One of the official Sony firmwares I posted earlier?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Yes. I can't remember if it was the last 5.0 or the first 5.1. Anyway, I'm not sure why it's not showing. I would try maybe connecting in fastboot mode, and see if anything changes, or flash a newer fw, and see... It does say on Sony development site to flash fw first - http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/ Hope that helps.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
no "TA update"

Hi,

After flashing my z3 "TA update (open device) doesn't appear. According to this post new bootloader is included on all stock firmware > .200 but doesn't contain recovery image.

So after flashing the stock 24.x.x.x.200 and flashing recovery via 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' my phone boot the recovery without problem.

Hope this information can help.

P.S.: FOTAKernel recovery should be compatible (under some conditions) with this boot process according to my tests on z3 and some forum reads.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragereinstall:
Hi tinuthir,

I have the same problem and also see only the two services you mentioned in your initial post. Have you found any solution yet how to install the "Open Devices" bootloader?

Regards

Tobias
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Hi Tobias, I have not yet tried it. Basically, I'm too scared to use the NAND backup (which I make daily anyway) :D

I'm fairly sure that, with the NAND backup, not too much can go horribly wrong. But I'd need to make sure I either have a backup phone in case I do run into problems (this is currently not the case). Then, what I would do is this:

NAND backup

Restore TA partition/stock software that was originally on the phone

See whether the "open device" is now available via official Sony tool

Flash latest firmware via official Sony tool (regardless whether it says "open device" or not)

See whether the "open device" is now available via official Sony tool

Flash recovery

Flash NAND backup

As I said, the only reason I haven't done this yet is because I can't find the time to make sure I can run troubleshooting in case there are any issues... And because I'm a little wary of touching a running system ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Just started the process, finally was courageous enough. The old saying is true: Never touch a running system :D

Restoring the TA partition soft-bricked my phone. Am now trying to reset the phone by using the official Sony PC Companion software. We'll see what's up then.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinuthir:
Sony PC Companion didn't work. Instead, what apparently happened is that the bootloader, recovery, and OS didn't like being confronted with the restored backup partition - at all. Can't use the Flashtool to re-unlock, can't use Emma to flash new software, because the phone's locked...

Using the command line got the phone unlocked again, standard procedure as detailed here: *ttps://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/Unable-to-unlock-bootloader/td-p/461477

Now I can re-flash and do whatever I like. Glad I had my NAND!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
Sorry I'm too late.

After reading some posts about new bootloader and some ta partition analysis bootloaders versions and TA partitions should never mix: they are incompatible.

Did you backup your ta partition after upgrading bootloader?

I am currently trying to help someone with a bad bootloader (supposed s1) on the phone, and maybe there is a way to reflash full emmc in a 'serial' way. I try to find quickly this time :(

Otherwise, maybe if you are able to access flashmode you can reflash your ta-with-upgraded-bootloader with it?

If you don't have ta backup after the upgrade, and your phone is still bricked, fell free to contact me, maybe we can found another solution based on this thread.

Good luck!

P.S. I try to write a guide about bootloader upgrade.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
I currently own a Nexus 5. For me personally, there isn't enough to sway me towards buying a 5X or 6P right now. Perhaps when official updates are discontinued or if my device develops a fault then I might upgrade.

My Nexus 5 has really impressed me for now. I've had it for two years and it still performs really well. It gallops through Marshmallow like an absolute beast and has served me well. I just hope I can keep it a little bit longer without any issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5149701:
Exactly what I'm thinking. If my camera isn't focusing correctly, is it the lens itself? I know my lens has a few cracks on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
If the camera isn't focusing correctly in apps other than "Camera" and still persists after a fresh factory reset/image flash, then you can probably assume it is a hardware issue that has developed. Not sure where the physical issue would lie as I'm not too knowledgeable on camera optics.

Hello and merry Christmas!

I've done a terrible mistake and installed the firmware for Doogee y100k on an y100 Pro which leads to a bricked device. Even the recovery mode (Power + VolUp) is not accessible anymore.

By trying to flash the right software via SP Flash i got the error: "Error 2020 Message: BROM ERROR : S_BROM_CHKSUM16_MEM_RESULT_DIFF (2020)". I've also tried the following solutions:

- tick "with battery" in options

- tick "w/o battery" in options

- hold VolUp key while connecting to USB

- used the phone with and without battery

- used other versions of the firmware image

- used the most actual SP Flash Tool

- used an older version of SP Flash Tool

I am also not able to format the device - same error message occurs.

By holding VolUp and Vold Down i got the error "Message: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail "

I have also deinstalled the mediatek drivers with USB Deview and installed only "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" from the most actual archive i have found.

Can i consider this device as permanent bricked or is there any chance to fix it?
