[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Turn off your phone using a paperclip, there's a hole in the sim-tray. Or, you can also power it off using Power + Vol+ key comination.

Once done, reflash the IMG using the proper command, fastboot flash recovery name-of-the-file.img (do not cold boot it!!!).

To enter into the recovery, press and hold the volume down button, and while you're holding it, press and hold the Power button until it vibrates. When you see the Sony logo, stop holding the Vol- Button.

[Sony Xperia M2] Gang-star:
Hallo!

So I have the M2 Aqua D2403, currently running on stock LLP5.1.1. (D2403_18.6.A.0.182). I have unlocked BL via Flashtool and Sony web to generate the unlock code. Then I used the Flashtool 09.18.6 to somehow probably update the BL (nothing was visible during flashing except the green progress bar). But after the restart of the device, Android updated 254 parts/apps... and when done and fully booted, the device forgot my home wifi password. So I believe I did the BL update correctly and it impacted many settings of the OS. Then I flashed the recovery IMG again:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

(c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. Všechna práva vyhrazena.

C:\adb>fastboot devices

ZH8006735F fastboot

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-b2.img

sending 'recovery' (15600 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.494s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.747s]

finished. total time: 2.244s

C:\adb>fastboot reboot

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.003s

C:\adb>

Then I turned off the device, pressed the VOL DOWN + POWER to turn the device on. Once SONY showed up, I released the power button, kept holdin the VOL DOWN... Xperia showed, then... VIOLA!!! TWRP RECOVERY SHOWED UP!!!!

I set up the time and other settings of the recovery, then flashed the SU (SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip), wiped Dalvik/Cache and rebooted to OS. Now its again updating 255 apps....

ROOT UNINSTALL app & DEBLOAT WILL FOLLOW!!!

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Oh and I forgot!! In the meantime, I followed this YT video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOd-ZI9YbMU) and created myself a heat sink from a piece of copper (18x14x1mm) desoldered and fine polished from an old laptop heat sink... Then gently uncovered the chip, cleaned with alcohol, spreaded a bit of MX-4 on both sides, the chip and the copper sink and covered again ;o))) Now the phone seems warmer then before but thats just because more heat is disipated from the chip! Its temp dropped down from about 70°C to about 45°C in combinated load ;o)))
[Sony Xperia M2] Jack Cisco:
Thanks OP. Flashed your FTF with FlashTool 0.9.18.6 and then flashed TWRP successfully :)

Thanks!

Me too, BL updated and TWRP flashed OK following your clear instructions. Under Windows XP for the 1st time ever (I'm a Linux user) over a Xperia M2 D2304 with Stock Lollipop 5.1.1 compilation 18.6.A.0.182 and kernel 3.4.0-gc82e70f.

Many thanks! Now, up to find a flashable dark theme for my handset! The bright white settings menu hurts a lot my retins...

Hello,

I'm new to this world and discover a lot of stuffs each day so far...

Well I want to update a Xperia M2 device, but I have troubles when I install open gapps, or even supersu.

I suspect it is due to the bootloader that I haven't updated.

My question is: How to follow your tutorial on a computer running with Ubuntu? Is it mandatory to use windows when you want to use the "Emma" tool?

Many thanks already!
[Sony Xperia M2] hnizet:
Maybe just to give another solution, because no "button combination" has worked for my Xperia M2... Everything worked fine however just with launch of a few commands on the computer.

Firstly connect your xperia to computer with usb.

On ubuntu (you should have installed android-tools first):

Open a terminal where twrp.img has been saved.

adb devices

adb reboot-bootloader (The smartphone enters in fastboot mode, and the light turns blue)

fastboot boot twrp.img

Twrp should open and your phone should be in recovery mode.

I hope this can help someone else.

I know the java one is available, but I had heard rumblings of a gmail app for WM5.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
What this 'gmail app' does? Just curious. Is it a mail application?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] strikeIII:
what gmail app...i already have my gmail account set up through outlook on my 8525 to auto sync...why would you need an app...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Gmail allows you to link all your various e-mail accounts together and view them as one instead of logging into several accounts or inboxes.Those with data contracts wll likely have no dificulties using gmail on the go. However, it seems many folk cannot connect if they are using a pre-paid or payg account with their telecom provider.For these people you currently have a Java Applet version, wifi when available, or logging in via the browser (expensive). Hence the need for an application that gives the same look and functionality as that enjoyed by data conacted folk.Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
So my question is, "then I should be able to get all my email using the pocket outlook configured to this gmail account right?"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] s4mb4:
the gmail app that I am refering to is a small client that allows for gmail to push messages to your handheld device. I used it on my Blackberry and it was great. I had heard that google was going to eventually release the same type of client for PPC. Also, I use google apps so I do not have a gmail account. i have a username@mydomain.com account that uses gmail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] s4mb4:
because the pop3 sync is hard on the battery. (unless you accept the defaults to sync every 2 hours.) the gmail app is not hard on the battery. at least it wasn't on the Blackberry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cirial:
I'd like to know this as well.. I hardly use the gmail java midlet because it just isnt too great. If they had a native app like google maps or something, then I'm sure they can make it much better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
That's the theory - try it out on the PC

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Have you considered logging into gmail, using the help function there, and then asking google this question? Seems they'd be the ones to know, not us.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteAvenger:
I bought a new S4 (GT-I9505) recently and have found it impossible to root.

I've tried the following methods:

Philz TouchWiz (various versions)

TWRP rooting

CF AutoRoot

Whatever I try, the flashing via Odin works, I can usually reboot into recovery and root it, and then the next time the phone reboots it's back to the stock recovery and root is gone.

Has anyone encountered this problem, and/or does anyone have ideas on how to resolve this? I've effectively got a new phone lying around that I can't use because I can't root it.

Thanks,

WA
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xOutcasTx:
When you root the phone, are you able to boot and have root access? If so, try that then download the TWRP Manager and flash TWRP using that app. See if that sticks on reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try this: uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time. Copy supersu to the phone, flash twrp, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, boot into twrp, flash supersu, reboot.

[LG V10 General] helichrysum:
Just wanted to follow up regarding my cracked screen from the drop from my pocket to the linoleum laundry room floor. Phone was sent in to LG for diagnosis and they showed great service by quickly responding back (4 days from sending the phone from Idaho to Texas). Unfortunately I don't think they did too much analysis as their diagnosis was a canned response that said "the malfunction was caused by physical damage or water/liquid damage which is not covered under warranty."

It wasn't a malfunction. I dropped it from pocket level and the screen splintered. From all of the advertising and 3rd party drop test videos I've seen, when properly built the phone withstands WAY more than one 3 foot drop. But whatever. I acknowledge it was my butterfingers that made the drop.

At any rate, my dilemma is do I pay the $146/$153 for the repair/repair and refurbish charge or do I DIY with the digitizer I ordered from a 3rd party? I know going forward that unfortunately this will be the last LG I own. With so many other options from Moto, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, etc companies need to own their advertising if they want my cheddar.

Anyone have any experience with aftermarket parts? I don't want to have a mutt phone that has functionality issues.
[LG V10 General] ZDeuce2:
Just wanted to say that, Samsung, and Motorola are the same way. Prior to buying this phone, my nexus6 was lying, in an Otterbox, with a tempered glass screen protector, on my truck console. I called my wife on my way home, screen was fine, set it down, drove about four miles, picked it up when I got home and the screen was split with one crack, from the top left to the bottom right corner... Nothing touched it the whole way home, and with the Otterbox, the screen doesn't touch the padded console lid anyway. Needless to say, t-mobile's insurance company, Assurant, is worthless... 12 dollars a month for insurance, and 175 to have it fixed. Called Motorola, they'll fix it for the exact same price...? So needless to say, bought my v10 so I have a phone till I fix the nex myself, dropped all the insurance, on all my plans, (4 lines $48 less a month) and covered them for $20 a month on square trade, with a he'll of a lot cheaper deductible. Sorry for the long winded response, but until a manufacturer can guarantee screens won't break (new moto?) all companies will treat you like this...
[LG V10 General] helichrysum:
That's insane. See as business owner, I completely get and understand company policies. But I also understand that inevitably there are exceptions to the policies. Like when you drive home with your phone in an otter box in your console only to find the screen cracked. Or when you have a "military grade drop test" phone that falls 3 feet and splinters the screen like in my case. Clearly my device wasn't built with the same standards or tolerances as those shown in all the drop test videos, so as an exception, step up and fix the device. When we make 250 sandwiches and one person calls in and data the bread was a little dry, I'm refunding him and buying his next meal no questions asked. I don't care if nobody else complained about the bread, you take care of the exception.

I get that mobile devices aren't sandwiches, but the principle holds true. But I guess if every company is doing the same thing, nobody needs to step up.
[LG V10 General] MO3iusONE:
I think the problem is that there's no way to prove that he dropped that phone only from a couple of feet or that he had a heavy duty case on it.

If companies were replacing screens under warranty every time someone broke their, they'd be out of business.

I had bought a warranty for 70 bucks through Sony for my z3 phone and had it replaced when the screen cracked. Wish LG offered a similar warranty for this phone.
[LG V10 General] helichrysum:
I agree entirely with your premise, despite the fact that I believe that most people are honest and don't try and unnecessarily hose companies. However, in my case, what's the point in them "examining" the device to determine if it's a defect or was caused by me if they really don't even look? My V10 was less than a week old and didn't have even the slightest nick or flaw anywhere on the phone or around the edges. I feel like if they truly inspected it they could actually be able to determine if it was caused by the actual drop, excessive dropping, OR a build quality/construction problem. Given that mine looks brand new apart from the splintered screen maybe they conclude that it's a build issue. Maybe someone else sends in theirs and there are scratches, dings, and nicks around the outside and they conclude that the phone was probably dropped multiple times. Am I making sense?
[LG V10 General] jbraft:
Yeah, in the past just did a monthly warranty extension with Verizon. When my wife and I upgraded I looked at what was offered and reviews for Assurance. I got her Apple Care+ for her iPhone, and went Square Trade for my V10.
[LG V10 General] shwnr11:
And that's why LG has fine print while they make their durability claims.
[LG V10 General] LBJM:
This is why I use tempered glass screen protectors, I'd rather break the screen protector than damage the glass on the phone a $10-20 expense vs $150-$300 depending on the route you take to fix the phone glass. I've replaced the damaged glass smartphones in most cases the glass is attached with UV loca to the screen and if you can manage to separate the glass from the screen without damaging it you can pay only about $25 for new glass off of ebay, but I assure you it is not an EASY thing to do for a novice. Keep in mind if you pay the $8-9 a month for the phone insurance you are basically wasting $192-$216 over two years if you don't use it. [/rant :D]

Your best bet is to replace the part yourself. You can buy what you need off of Ebay. If you've never replaced the screen with the digitizer before You NEED to watch videos on youtube and read anything on ifixit for the tools you might need to buy to disassemble the phone. You are lucky right now prices start at $83 and go up, but make sure you buy the correct model for YOUR phone screen with digitizer can be different between phone model from different carriers.. And if you are uncomfortable doing this yourself buy the part and try to find a local shop(usually a third party cell phone shop) that will do the work for you. Here's an ebay link

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Cell-Phone-....html?_from=R40&_nkw=lg+v10+digitizer&_sop=15
[LG V10 General] helichrysum:
I purchased the digitizer but in the end I had LG do the repair because they would warranty it. I didn't want to risk dorking up a $650 device. I probably should have tried as it would be nice to have that skill. Maybe I'll drop the phone next week and then I'll get to do it ha ha. Definitely going to throw a screen protector on...especially given that I'm convinced mine was poorly assembled in the first place causing it to shatter after one small drop.

Thanks for the responses everyone.
