[Sony Xperia M5] pren22:
and flashing with flashtool worked???

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

you can try flushing generic ftf,i'm not 100% sure that might help but if the flash tool is working you can try that,or try to use xperia companion " repair phone" option that might flash your old original firmware.if you SI/CDA code isn't changed
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
If your phone survived you should celebrate. Currently Flashtool is not compatible with Xperia M5 and there's a very high chance of getting your phone bricked in case you try to use Flashtool with it...

EDIT: just noticed a new version of Flashtool was released (0.9.20.0). Has anyone tried flashing Xperia M5 with it?

EDIT 2: I just tried and indeed it works! Make sure you're using Flashtool 0.9.20.0 or newer and answer yes when it asks if you would like to use the .fsc script (otherwise you may brick your device). In some cases you may get errors during flashing (like "processing of xxxx.sin ended with errors"), to fix that, use a lower value for the "Max USB buffer" setting (512K seems to work flawlessly)...
[Sony Xperia M5] Erodrigz2:
I had an error flashing Xperia M5, don't ask for fsc and say boot.sin or something like that have an error. I disconnected my Xperia from the PC and I can't turn it back or put it in flashtool. What can I do now?. I have flashtool (0.9.20.0). and I have auto sync.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
If you didn't use the .fsc file when Flashtool asked and can't enter in Flash Mode anymore I'm afraid your device bricked and now only Service Center can help...
[Sony Xperia M5] Erodrigz2:
Flashtool don't asked for .fsc file, anyway I sent my Xperia to sat.

Now the question, Will I lose my warranty? I hope not. :(
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Then you didn't sync your Flashtool devices database at least once before flashing. The bundling of a .fsc script for M5 was something done recently, you may need to trigger the devices sync manually, but that should be done before flashing, otherwise Flashtool won't ask if you want to use the .fsc script.

If your bootloader was still locked, then no, your warranty is intact. If you have unlocked your bootloader, your mileage may vary, it depends of the Service Center policy. Mine, for example, I messed its boot partition while I was trying to get TWRP working with our device, I had to send it to Service Center (here in Brazil) and they still repaired it under warranty, even with the bootloader unlocked. But on the other hand I also heard of people who lost warranty because of the unlocked bootloader...
[Sony Xperia M5] pren22:
So bricking my device with flashtool won't void warranty?
[Sony Xperia M5] otsukaranz:
Hi Everyone,

I had successfully flash FTF on my M5, with different CDA from Hongkong to Philippines.

I had to do that since Hongkong variant which is certainly the phone variant with Shutdown &

other annoying issues. Hence Sony made it slow to update.

And luckily I succeed in flash B.46 then manually updated it to B.55.

Conclusion: if you had issues on delay updates. better change it with different variant. :)

PS. Better have backup of your data first.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
As long as your bootloader is locked, no, because even an official OTA has a minimal risk of bricking your device (e.g. if your battery dies during the update). Also, Flashtool uses the same protocol as the official Sony solutions (Xperia Companion/Update Service), so, it's almost impossible to discover if the device was flashed with an official solution or with Flashtool (even more now that it supports .fsc scripts)...

That's placebo. The random shutdown issues are related to battery lock, which is a HW issue, so, a unit with the battery lock issue would still randomly shutdown no matter what firmware region/variant you flash to it.
[Sony Xperia M5] otsukaranz:
Yeah you're right, but based on the released date, on which case they release it first on Chinese market before the shutdown issue was known, Sony had the chance to recall the batches released for other markets, i.e. Philippines.

Anyway this was just a hypothesis and i was able to conclude, still the issue persist, but the performance goin better since before.

Cheers mate!

Can I use Flashtool to fix my softbricked M5 Dual? I am going to flash official loli pop rom

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

I am about to use Flashtool 0.9.22.3 to flash official loli pop rom to my softbricked Xperia M5. I saw some tutorials which guide to flash M5, but they do not mention about the .fsc script. Do I have to worry about it further more? Here is the link for a tutorial http://www.modifyandroid.com/stock-roms/sony/how-to-flash-stock-rom-for-sony-xperia-m5-dual-e5663/

And also, do I need to unlock the boot loader in order to use FlashTool?
[Sony Xperia M5] aidy.lucas:
Yes for fsc script, and no need to unlock the bootloader. Flashtool works on totally stock unrooted xperia devices
[Sony Xperia M5] vigamage:
But what if it does not ask for that option? I saw some people complaining saying flashtool did not ask for fsc option
[Sony Xperia M5] ih8redsn0w:
So will flashing the rooted kernal for marshmallow work with this and a locked bootloader or nope?
[Sony Xperia M5] andrus73:
Well latest 0.9.25.0 has left M5 (E56XX series) out for selection somehow.

Due program i wanted to run, did not worked , gonna flash back to 6.0.1, but after closing bootloader, unfortunately Sony has made a f-up trap with IMEI based bootloader unlocking - it saves data, and later , even if bootloader locked u get sorry bootloader has once unlocked, uräe not egible for updates or something similar.

Without M5 selection in list creating a FTF is impossible sort of.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Semantics:
I did a search and I don't see this anywhere. When I get an SMS message there is no counter for unread messages on the app icon. Is this normal for Samsung as I've never had a Samsung phone before. I find it kind of annoying that it doesn't show unread messages on the icon. I'd rather not use a 3rd party SMS app.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemons55:
Hi everyone,

Firstly, I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong area but I'm in a state of despair at the moment!

Basically, I was manually backing up my girlfriend's phone to my PC (backing up pictures) - naturally clicking the folders to backup, ctrl+c and then ctrl+v in the relevant folder on my PC and voila. Backup done. Except, it didnt copy all of the files and now my girlfriend has deleted in excess of 400 pictures, most of which of our 6 month old baby that we desperately want back.

I have seen many ways to do this but all seem to need root access - I have tried rooting using many different unikernels (excuse my ignorance, this is the first time I've tried rooting a device!) but none seem to work...

Useful info: Android version: 5.1.1 (out of the box), model number: SM-G920F, Build number: LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOKN.

Any help or advice at all is greatly appreciated and I will forever be in your debt if you can successfully help get my files back. And I'm willing to purchase any payware needed!

EDIT: I have tried: Kingo Root, iRoot, One-click-root, Root Genius, Coolmusters recovery tool, wondershare's recovery tool... essentially all of the first 2 or 3 pages of any Google search remotely related to this.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kush2.0:
Download odin 3.7 for windows. And google CF auto root instructions for your device and firmware.

So the links ensure you use the right CF auto root

That should work.

So I've been following this, and all other tuts that I can find, www [dot] ndroidrootz [dot] com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

The phone is bricked and will only go between 2 screens. Download Mode and a screen that shows "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" - but this fails too!

Any way of fixing my girlfriends S6? I just keep getting FAIL in ODIN!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackOut_94:
the smart switch option is a nice way to clean up everything and try again, i know that sounds strange but even the usb cable can make the difference (hope u r using the original one) and odin 3.10 i think should help a bit with all these fail attempt..

in case via smart switch reinstall the drivers and.. let me know if it helped somehow (:

ps: sorry for bad english :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Jesus christ, what an old guide, no wonder you've ruined it in your desperation.

First, You need a newer version of Odin. (3.10.7)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3446301&d=1440131361

Then your best bet is to find the exact firmware you were on prior to this mess to have the best chance of keeping your original files in tact if you haven't completely trashed them by now.

Not sure what region / provider your phone is from. Does this look correct?

The link you gave was linking to older versions of android then what you were on to start with.

http://samsung-updates.com/details/58161/Galaxy_S6/SM-G920F/VDI/G920FXXU3QOKN.html

If so download it and flash via odin making sure "nand erase" or "repartition" is not selected!

Hopefully that will get the phone running again.

Then Flash TWRP recovery via odin

http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/recovery/twrp/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.0-twrp_3.0.0-0.tar.md5

Finally, reboot into recovery and install supersu to get root.

Hey all! I have a quick question. I recently purchased an android box with hopes of using the miracast feature due to chromecast eating up my exede Internet data each month while mirroring movies. After setting up the android box I tried to mirror an image using quick connect on my s6. When opening the app from the drawer I get an update message and then the app closes. I'm guessing this is due to the recent update of 5.1.1 from AT&T. I'm at a loss here and after searching for a few hours I'm stuck. I tried reinstalling quick connect with a apk I found on here and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what I can do to get this working or of an app that I can use to enable miracast that will function the same and not use wifi data to transfer movies/pictures like the original app?

Hello everyone,

I have an O2 Xda Orbit, onto which I have installed the marvellous ROM created by Tom (Version 4.1). Since I have now left my old job, I no longer have the luxury of an Exchange server to store my calendar appointments.

I discovered that I can use Google calendars, and give access to everyone to see where I am, but I cant find a usable application to run on the phone that will keep the appointments in sync. let me explain.

Most of the apps offer a "free" version that will only sync 3 days ahead, good for testing, crap for normal use. In addition, I use Re occurring appointments, which dont seem to be copied over to google.

Does anyone know of a good app that will sync in both directions between my phone and my online calendar. If I had to move away from Google and use hotmail or similar, then thats fine too.

I have a cheap Chinese Android tablet, identified as a "SRE 10" running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. Kernel 3.3.0, Quad core A31 cpu.

I downloaded Google Maps from the play store and that seems to work ok, though it is the "phone" version.

When I tried to use street view, all I got was a blurred blank screen. I went back to the store and downloaded the separate Google Street View app because I assumed that that must be needed in addition to Maps.

But no. Street View still does not work.

I am beginning to think that the Chinese origin of this device means that street view is disabled.
