Hey, no worries. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't assisting you in bricking your device. :P

Most of the tutorials on this forum are not detailed enough. So I hope this one was for you. Please feel free to mention any parts you had trouble with still and I can try to make it clearer for other members.

Hey, i tried this thing, but at the 15. step (from the last one) the flashing doesn't work, the installation of the zip only takes about 5 seconds, says finished, but i don't see any changes on the phone and still have .128. Any solution for this?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jorginhopc:
Hi

I've flashed E2303_26.1.A.2.167_CE.ftf and everything works fine but I still got the BL locked. if I flash other ftf I get no network signal on my phone, I just get signal with this ftf.

if I follow your instructions I will have .128 unlocked but I will still not have signal on my phone, right?

if I flash .167 after unlock the 128 will I get the .167 unlocked? if anything goes wrong and flash .167 again will everything works fine?

many thanks, and great detailed explanation on how to unlock our phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] BRex68:
.167 with root and bootloader locked

If I`ve understood correctly, it will remain unlocked:

1. Downgrade

2. Flash root through adb

3. Flash recovery through adb

4. Build pre-rooted upgrade zip

5. Flash with recovery

6. Now you're on .167 with root and bootloader locked.

Can somebody check them after successful rooted firmware upgrade, please?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] RohitBopnna:
as long as the Bootloader is locked, the DRM keys are safe.

Hey! Done, my phone is rooted and with the firmware 2.167. I only had time to do it today and i ****ted my pants :P, the first time i booted it took 1 min for all the apps and menus to appear, but then everything is working! :D

Thanks for everything men! :D
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] cmstew:
Guess I could have mentioned the first boot could take awhile.

I should also mention that because the bootloader is still locked that it is nearly, if not actually completely, impossible to brick your device. There is almost always a way back to a functional device.

I'm glad this all worked for you though. :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sidow:
Hey can you help me with something? I'm trying to downgrade to .112 but when ever i try to flash it, it gives me an error on boot delivery, it says that there are some files missing. I already tried with several ftfs, and other flashtool version including latest one. The only ftf that i'm able to flash is stock 26.1.A.2.167 adn i got it from xperifirm. I already tried to flash everything except for bootboundle, but it will still get in a boot loop.

If you have flashed xperia m4, can you please tell me what flashtool version you used, and what ftf compilance? I have E2306.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jorginhopc:
Thank you, thank you all. I finally did it.

just some remarks that can help other guys with same issue:

1. I need to use the newest version of Flashtool. without the final patch 26.1.A.1.128 was always rebooting the phone.

2. After the last step (Installing the latest version of android while keeping root) I had version 167, network signal was working fine but mobile data doesn't. I went to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> ... More and clicked "Internet Settings". mobile data started working and no further issues found.

3. Finally, in the end I got .167 rooted but no able to enter the custom recovery. As my device was rooted I just repeated the step "Installing Custom Recovery on any firmware with root" and now everything was as expected.

many thanks

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Lugi2:
hi

just a quick question. will i be able to upgrade to the official android 6 update once it comes out OTA.

my biggest problem with the device is that i am constantly low on storage so with root i could solve the problem unto android 6 brings SD as internal

thank you
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] RohitBopnna:
If your Bootloader is locked, then OTA update will work.

If BL is unlocked then use Flashtool to update.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Lugi2:
HI

sorry to ask again i have a problem.

i cant select the firmware update in flashtool.

i can open the folder it is in but i dont see the Firmware file
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] phoboulinos:
Hello,

I am troubled by constant reboots after following this guide. Especially when downloading apps. Anyone having the same issues ?

thank you
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Filipedls:
Yeah, my phones reboots every once in a while, not while downloading apps, but in random situations and a lot more when i'm using popcorn time, witch is a very unstable app, so it kind of justifies it. Up to now i could find a solution to that though

Cumps
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gilmour79:
Random reboots happen to a lot of us. Nobody has found a solution so far.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ardentis:
All you have to do is disable root. I havent had a random reboot since I disabled SuperSU
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] manosper:
i didnt have any problem with random reboots with or without root till i updated to 167 firmware.after the update all day it reboots randomly.with and without root.especially when i install an app from playstore. So i downgraded again to 128 firmware and everything fixed....the problem with the 128 firmware is the overheat,but i prefer overheat than reboots all day.... Its too sad such a good phone 8core 2gb ram and has such crap software from Sony.and in every update they fix one thing and destroy two.....lets hope than when Marshmallow comes these problems will finish....or if somebody creates a custom rom....because i am really dissapointed with my device....
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] phoboulinos:
How did you disable SuperSU ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ardentis:
Go into the app and click disable SuperUser and it will disable root until you click it again.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] stormz94:
i have a same problem and its frustrating me...i can't downgrade firmware at all on this method.. i select folder where file is and i can't see file at all

somebody help pls,trying to root this device for last 3 days.. this is prob last sony phone ill ever use,didin't have problems like this on samsung devices.. That thing is easy to root but this... hell
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] manosper:
Move the firmware you downloaded to the file firmwares of Flashtool.i mean where the flashtool is installed.

for example C->users->username->.flashtool->firmwares. Copy paste your firmware in that file and flashtool will recognize it.otherwise download from Xperifirm in flashtool the firmware you want and flash it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] stormz94:
managed to do it,thanks a lot sir

anyway i have random reboots all day long on this firmware(upgraded to 3.92)

Anyway i saw that downgrading back to 128 fixed a problem for you but the problem there is overheating.

How dangerous that overheating actually is? any fix for that? or maybe you found fix for those reboots?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] manosper:
I had random reboots with the 167 firmware.with the new firmware 192 this problem solved,at least for me.overheating issue in 128 its not dangerous for the device,its just disturbing.this octacore snapdragon is known for overheating.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] stormz94:
are you talking about this firmware mate? http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/general/firmware-26-1-3-92-rolling-xperia-m4-t3307517

Because that one did reboot for me couple of times,i just downgraded to 128 again but id rather to have stable firmware without reboots and overheating if possible

But yet again id rather take heating issue over rebooting since i work in a delivery company where my gps on phone is turned on for 8 hours shift and it can be dangerous for me if my phone reboots in the middle of the job.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] manosper:
Yes my mistake,i meant 392 not 192 firmware.i use it now about a week and i didnt have any reboot or any other issue.if 128 is more stable for you ,then keep it.dont worry for the overheating.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] fletch0270:
Hi. thanks for explaining the process in detail... I finally have my phone rooted!! One problem though when trying to boot into recovery... It doesn't. Everything seems to go without errors when installing the recovery and I got the su permission request on my phone, but when I hold the vol down during boot the phone just boots normally. (unless I hold it till the boot is complete and then I end up in safe mode)

Any suggestions?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobbieRobski:
My brother totally shattered his screen. He's never enabled usb debugging, AND he's apparently never enabled the usb mass storage option either.

Is there anything I can do to remotely access his device so I can enable the USB storage and backup his photos and stuff? I have used this app called wondershare mobile go in the past, but it required user intervention on the phone to allow untrusted sources and at this point I'm fairly certain the screen is not accepting input, but since it's so broken I can't even be sure if the back home menu buttons work either. For what it's worth, he has a Motorola droid mini.
[Samsung Gear S2] eatmeimadanish@gmail.com:
To get the Gear S2 to work in CM13 follow these steps:

1) In build.prop edit anything that says samsung to something else (I put "htc"). I only found two, manufacturer and brand. This will now break the app store ability to download the app(s)

2) Download and install the APK for the Gear Manager and the Accessory Service (and maybe the S2 Plugin)

example:

http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/themes-apps/samsung-gear-manager-samsung-accessory-t3216240

3) You may encounter some app closures and stuff right away (I did) but wait for a minute and try again, eventually things settle down service launch and you can connect to your gear.

*Things to note: It will make you hard reset your watch, but you won't lose your purchases, just will have to reset everything and re-download everything.

That's it. I have my Gear s2, working with CM13 as we speak.
[Samsung Gear S2] eatmeimadanish@gmail.com:
Also FYI, once done, rerooting does not stop the Gear Manager app from working. :o
[Samsung Gear S2] johno4444:
I don't need to do any of that. I can get it to work fine with no issues running cm13 on nexus 6p.i can download apps etc. On occasion I need to u install the Samsung software and reinstall it after an update but that is it. The only issue I have is the Samsung watch update which is encrypted. I need to use my note for that

[Samsung Gear S2] eatmeimadanish:
I don't have a nexus/LG phone so I couldn't tell you for sure, but it doesn't hurt to try it out if you are open to the risks involved. Just make sure you have a backup. Keep in mind that loading the update from the app store will then break the app again. So use the downloaded apks.

[Samsung Gear S2] Schermbecker:
Same here: it first worked but then I updated the ROM (Resurrection Remix to Jun 2016 version). After that I got Gear Plugin FC all the time. It is to do with the "Notification access" which is enabled for Samsung Gear.

If you disable that no FC anymore. Confusing. :eek: Sometimes it helped to disable and enable bluetooth. Grrr. What a mess.

I have tried everything - Factory Reset, Wiping Cache Partition, greenify and various other battery savers until I finally gave in.

Here are more helpful tricks i first applied when i first got the device.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-0PRqiOeCY

So after doing this all,if the problem persists ,then its probably faulty antenna or some other h/w related issue but not the s/w.

Charge fone to 100% and drain to 1% , for 3 cycles ..use all settings on full etc (everything on) a youtube film etc to burn it down quicker , then factory reset .

What build are you on etc ?

These are the main things to do ...and then I'd be looking at battery .

Possibly flash prism ROM first before attempting the recharge cycles ..which will give good gauge of battery after !
