Maybe this can help you:

Make sure you use the latest Phone Flash tool (lite) which was 5.3.4.1 for me. Make sure you use a USB port at your laptop PC, don't use a hub (did not work for me). And If you are not able to flash it via the DnX mode (press both Volumen buttons and power on the tab) then try using the Fastboot mode in the bootloader (volume down and power on the tab).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] sanguine13:
Thank you.

Everything went very good. I downloaded linked Phone Tool and stock rom and flashed Yoga through Fastboot. Now my Yoga is updated :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Hi ionioni,

I'm back with a further problem. I just tried to start teamviewer on the yoga. I get an error that the firmware may be faulty and I should check for a proper IMEI. So I put in a SIM card (which I have used in anther phone) and I'm able to unlock it with the pin. But I get no data connection and also when I try to set a new PIN for the SIM card in the security settings I enter the PIN and it says wrong PIN I have 3 more trys. but I can try it as often as I want, it does not lock the SIM card.

So what may be the problem? any ideas?

UPDATE: Ok, just checked my IMEI online and it appears to be an IPHONE IMEI??

Update 2: Under settings, network, more, mobile connection (? just know the german word for the settings) I can not choose the menu as it is deactivated and grey. I just read that the tablet may think it is in flight mode?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
in contacts enter *#*#4636#*#* for further info

i don't have an L or LC device so i can only assume

from what i know imei related stuff is stored on the factory partition (mmcblk0p8) on these devices and is possible that you flashed a rom that formatted that and i am just guessing that in that case new (fake somehow) stuff will populate factory partition and some application will detect the 'fake' stuff (i think teamviewer checks against some barred 'public' imei list in order to make sure the device is genuine not some spoofed one)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
OK, yeah I was already in the Menu, see screenshot.

The problem is also that I can not use 3G as I get no data connection, so this part is bricked at the moment.....

I was able to find out many ways to change the IMEI, but not for an android intel based tablet?.... Any further ideas?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
i don't know what is on the factory partition, maybe if some L owner could dump his and pm with that

edit, meanwhile you could dump yours so at least i can see whats in there. also dont you have your imei on the back plate of the tab? just asking don't post it

edit2 you could try to flash a kitkat rom (that one should reinitialise stuff) use this one (flash.xml), but before flashing the kitkat rom you need to restore the bios to the kitkat version or the flash will fail
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Yeah I have my correct IMEI, but don't know how to get it back into the system. The Xposed Modul IMEI changer cannot be used, as I'm not quite sure if Xposed is working properly on Intel lollipop. How do I dumb my factory partition? Is it possible just to flash the factory partition? Thx again for you help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
to dump, go here and boot twrp in dnx mode, when in there make a backup to your sdcard of your factory and check also config one, you will find them in the TWRP folder on the sdcard (or on the internal one, depending what you selected as storage when making the back up). while still in twrp you can grab that folder from within explorer in windows (should show the yoga device as mtp is working). upload someplace and send me a link (pm)

meanwhile, while i take a look, you can start flashing the kitkat back using the prev post instructions

you should not modify nothing just yet (using stuff like xposed and so on)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Ok, I just do the dump after I did a backup with Titanium Backup.

When I flash back the Kitkat I am back at factory reset right? Is there any way to keep this avoided? as I'm nearly finished again with reinstalling and configuring the tablet again^^

Or at least: Can I make a full NAND backup with TWRP and flash it back if necessary?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
you can backup the data partition with twrp and restore it once you are on the same build number as you are now (ie after you get back to lollipop and you take the ota's up to the current build number)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Ok, backup finished. Dump finished.

here it is:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B856sXOHorDgazZyLVMzNDhfNnM/view?usp=sharing

Flash to KitKat will be done tomorrow. Thank you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Sry, I had no time to Flash it today. Maybe tomorrow or on Friday.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Hi ionioni,

sry, but had no time to flash. I just prepare my Bios downgrade.

Did you already download the factory partition? I would like to delete it again from my share if you did.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
yes, there's nothing there, just two empty dirs (likely because of a re-initializing flashing op)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
ok, flashed Bios and then your kitkat rom. After the reboot I get the setup wizard but it coninuely shows an error message regarding the wizard in a japanese language..... ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
that one is the first screen that shows on the first boot after you flash a stock rom. you should be able to select some US or similar that will set english as the interface language. once done with that you must set the region code (in Contacts input ####6020# and select a country, tab will reboot) and only after that you can start to update using ota's (without a country code the ota will fail)

once the region is set when it comes back from reboot you can check for your mobile stuff
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
OK, I just redownloaded your firmware and flashed it again. Now it's working after doing all from drive c: :D

Strange laptop.... :P

Ok, now I can finish the wizard. I set the country code. Now I checked my IMEI but it is still not the correct one and I get no 3G connection....
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
maybe if someone (1050L or 830L owner) would dump his factory and config partitions...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
hm, ok. do you know someone?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] zepp[Fr]:
Hello,

after upgrading to OTA 255,

my 1050L is bricked at the bootloader, when I try to flash the zip file from SD card, I get a signature error
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
OK, where do you stuck in the boot process? I was stuck in the lenovo animation.

I think you have to start where I did. so that means that you download ionioni's firmware from post #6 and start with that, then you should be able to do the OTA updates:

If that all works for you. would be nice to dump your factory partition for my problem :) like described in post #25:

same problem with IMEI

hi everyone

my yoga2 1050l lost imei after flashing rom and set it to general imei!

no sim card detect

no 3g

no lte :(

now my rom is lollipop.

please help me what to do :crying:

now my imei is: 0049999010640000
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
same thing here ;)

What did you exactly do before you lost your IMEI?

By the way: If you don't know exactly your correct IMEI you can see it in the google dashboard where the android devices are listed (not quite sure if it's under the security menu).

I was able to receive another 1050L by today. So I may be able to do the requested things ionioni told. Hopefully we find a way to recover the IMEI ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Ok,

I managed to get one 1050L.

I have first to charge it. But then what do you need? again the factory partition? from the latest lollipop again?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
factory & config

no need to OTA update (yet), have to first figure out the stuff

also, send the link as a pm since there is private stuff in the dump
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Ok, but TWRP is working on KitKat and lollipop? I'm not quite sure if the tablet is still on KitKat. battery has only 7% at the moment. so might take a while until I dare to start the process.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
we aren't doing any writings (read updates, flashing) operations so starting it even on low battery won't harm nothing (should it power off unexpectedly)

to simplify things (no twrp needed and works the same on kitkat or lollipop) go here and download and extract the corresponding zip, start the tab in DNX mode and run the extracted exe, in a few moments should start a temporary root shell

open a (new) command prompt and input (just copy/past them to the cmd prompt):

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 | gzip > /p8.gz"

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 | gzip > /p10.gz"

adb pull /p8.gz

adb pull /p10.gz

this will dump in the current directory the images of the two needed partitions (takes at most 1 minute to complete)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:
Ok, done. You should have recveived the PN with the link. Let us know what you find out :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mohsenator:
one more thing!

when i go to SETTING/...MORE/Cellular Networks is gray and completely disabled!(kitkat and lollipop)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iceball24:

I just dumped the requested files for ionioni, he is just analysing the issue. hope the best :):good:

Hello all,

I will step on because my problem is in the field of this topic.

I've read a lot of pages about flashing and methods to get it, and I'm now "dumber than I was". If there was, forgive me or direct me where exactly I can find what I need. Thanks in advance.

The Yoga 2 1050L tablet has had something terrible for a dozen or so months that at the time of startup, a form with the description of root or recovery appeared before the Lenovo sign (I do not remember). I pressed Power again and went on, the word Lenovo and the system opened - although I wondered why this root is ...

Recently, the tab was so muddy that I deleted photos and decided to update it. Unfortunately, after this "update", tab is the proverbial brick. After pressing Power and V + - the word Lenovo appears and then FastBoot Starting ... and nothing else happens.

I currently have this set of files for flashing:

I turned on the flashing but the process stopped at 17%, (forgive the scratched screen but the child and everything is clear ...):

So I tried to turn on the Recovery function, but it did not work because the system returned to FastBoot Starting:

I changed the USB port (all the rear ones are 2.0 - this is what the card specification says) and it also stopped at 17%, but finally a slightly different message:

I tried to upload repair_Bios_lollipop (I do everything with FastBoot Starting) but it crashes at 33%:

then the screen changes to:

Do you have any idea? What am I doing wrong? Maybe I should use a different file? Maybe KKota but I don't have one.

Thank you in advance for any help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuernacow:
You can try this

You could use the guidelines in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

In my phone I couldn't list by name but if you use the cat commands in terminal Emulator with a rooted phone you can know the partition distribution in mmcblk0.

Hope this helps.

Here is described how to pull the files with the details remember first accessing to root privileges

If=the directory you are going to read, of=the directory you are going to write, I recommend using your internal memory to avoid any problems, I did this using terminal Emulator and fx file manager with the root plug in to copy those files to the external_SD card

Where bs= blocks size, 4096 is fine, count= the number of blocks to copy and skip is the number of blocks that are omitted blocks copy

Hi guys, I have a HTC M8 AT&T (Actually version. Android: 5.0.2 | Software: 4.28.502.1) bought in the United States but use in Brazil, but it is not possible to automatically update and I always down by the site the latest version. I always wanted to modify the phone but was always afraid of not liking too. But now I'm trying to change and unlock it.

I have some doubts about the ROM.

- Everything works the same as the original?

- It will take some bug during use?

- Can I have the visual theme of the original?

- If I want to go back to the original, it is possible?

I apologize for the questions, but it is something I want to solve.

I read a lot here, see topics ROMS but always have some doubts, I see a lot of people talking about problems, etc.

SONY Xperia Z5 - headphone jack - static + hissing noise​

Description

Static / hissing noise through headphones and speaker while playing sounds (music etc.) especially on low volume. If DSEE HX is enabled in audio settings while using the official Sony music app, the sound is perfectly clear.

DSEE HX ON + Sony Music App = perfect sound

DSEE HX ON + YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise

DSEE HX OFF + Sony Music App, YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise

affected devices

Sony Xperia Z5

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

android version

Android 5.1.1

Build Number: 32.0.A.6.200

kernel: Stock, AndroPlus, etc.

troubleshooting

- flashed new / diffrent kernels and roms = same issue

- send to Sony Repair -> had to pay 250€ for repair because of unlocked bootloader = nope, certainly not

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siudzix:
I think I have it too, but I'm not sure.

My phone has cracked glass on back side so imo they will not repair it for free even with locked bootloader.

Did You check sound without headset?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Not all Z5s affected - mine is fine. I just tested the Sony Music App and turning DSEE HX on and off. Headphones are older Sennheiser PX 200 - maybe some audiophile will have 10 reasons why they're crap and my test doesn't count BUT there's NO STATIC doing the tests above.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatact1cs:
Yes, I tested it with several headphones (good ones, and cheap ones). I know I have a good hearing (the first volume step is enough for me), but it MUST be audible for every normal person.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
You tried different headphones ? (I've tried 2 different headphones so far, and experienced this only upon using the other pair yesterday: Creative EP630; vs. some Philips Headphones where it didn't occur - so far ...)

uh, okay :confused:

I remember that at the beginning there wasn't any static noise but now the only option that "fixes" this is using DSEE HX,

this is ridiculous !

(I'm also getting this on the Galaxy S1, btw :p )

This bothered me a great deal since sometimes I listen to music before I sleep and it's really annoying - getting me to be more alert rather than more and more sleepy :eek:

One way to promote DSEE HX :D

Could be that software updates to certain components (kernel ? music player ? libraries ?) did cause this or some other factors
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatact1cs:
This is what I do (or want to do).

I tried the Z5 headphones, Sennheiser In-Ear CX 300, and Sony MDR1A. With the MDR1A the sound quality was ok.

I tried diffrent kernels, flashed diffrent roms...everytime the same problem. I think DSEE HX is only enabled in the Sony Music App. If someone could find a solution to enable it systemwide, that would be great.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Yeah, I'm planning to use this phone partly for work & at home so it has to work flawlessly - calming after some stress is also part of the plan.

Nice ! I've got the same Sony MDR1a, will see how those work for me

Anyone took a look at the following soundmod ?

[SPLIT THREAD] The first Soundmod for the Xperia Z5 : Project Desire http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/themes-apps/split-thread-soundmod-xperia-z5-project-t3255636

Challenge accepted :silly:

(once I unlock the bootloader & use custom parts - I'm still seeing whether I can get this all to work without modding & mainly work on Sony's part )

[MENTION=6761463]alphatact1cs[/MENTION] that MOD appears to be system-wide, it's not DSEE-HX but it's a start, after that it might only be some modding to get DSEE-HX globally :confused:

edit:

okay, tested the following additional headphones (high quality ? what are their differing characteristics ?)

MDR-1a

Xiaomi Piston V2 (2.1)

in both the static noise ("white noise") was still there but only much more subtle - still annoying in the long run

edit2:

is this "static noise" equal to IMD+Noise measured by gsmarena ?

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5-review-1326p7.php

http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p4.php

If yes, it would be nice to know if the original Xperia Z also head this "behavior":

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3-review-996p8.php (similar values with headphones attached for IMD+Noise)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatact1cs:
Same here :)

I Have the MDR1A-DAC. It has an inbuild DAC, so I can use it via USB.

I added it to my INDEX so others will find it, thanks.

Its not a permanent noise, it interferes with the music, but only when a tone is played. I have to get my phone back from Sony, then I can try new solutions and record the distortion.

[INFO]: Lower SPL/mW means lower noise. The device has to use a higher voltage to generate the same amount of volume = fewer distortions.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Got some new experience:

(also posted in ProjectDesire thread)

Another observation:

When setting the preamp to -30 dB on the Galaxy S1 (Voodoo Sound Mod), the white noise mostly goes away - the max output isn't as high as with preamp set to max (of the hardware limits) - but output is much clearer and appears less distorted (IMD, THD ? http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p4.php )

The difference is that with DSEE HX on the max output appears to be non-changed from the default (e.g. no settings or ClearAudio+),

so DSEE HX appears to utilize the hardware's full potential (preamp TFA98XX according to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64005513&postcount=4),

while also tuning the software to optimum ...

edit:

essentially what the following does: https://github.com/AndroPlus-org/an...mmit/3ad9cddb55bc361c8bf8f6d38159c7d4efd95b92 Fix static noise on high end headphones , but that comes with the issue of voice cancelling not working, so perhaps not so low values ...

Looks like we also need some sort of Voodoo for the Z5 series ( [MENTION=2617206]supercurio[/MENTION] I'm looking at you) ;)

I get the hissing statistic background effects too when playing videos, music, games etc.. Anybody found a solution to this?? Changing audio settings doesn't make a any real difference.. possibly a software/driver bug?? I can't remember if the sound was hissing on lollipop before I updated to marshmallow.. it's subtle hissing-static but very noticeable when putting the speaker close to the ear.. It almost sounds like sound interference or sound crossover (different frequencies overlapping causing static rustling hissing effect)..

Original Xperia Z never had this issue.. I just hope it's not device/speaker related as I can't be bothered going through a long process for a replacement..

But if it was device speaker related, wouldn't the noise also occur while on a phone call?? Both internal and external sound?? Just a thought..

I'm going to look in to this further and see if I can find a possible perm fix or something, unless one already exists..

Any ideas guys??
