Sorry for stupid question, i tried to find it in parameters instead of homescreen parameters .

I got it now !
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] camaro322hp:
Probably. Since you're rooted, just freeze the Software Update app with Titanium Backup or similar, and it will never bother you again with notifications. Or for a temporary solution, you can force stop Software Update and the notification goes away for a while, but will come back after a few days or the next reboot.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Anthraxiousness:
Hey guys, do you know of a list or some place I can find all Sony Z5 Compact builds? I'm looking for the last Lollipop upgrade (I think it's 32.0.A.6.200) before MM arrived and can't find anything. Is there no official site that lists all previous updates so I can update to a specific one? I'm not trying to root or anything, just get the official update of a specific build number. Oh, and I would very much like Nordic version as well unless there's no real difference.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] JayVee:
Have you already checked with XperiFirm?

There is a version from the Netherlands: E5823_32.0.A.6.200_R6B_Customized NL_1299-7245.ftf
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gianni1991:
Should I update my Xperia Z5 comapct with this last firmware? Now I have the last Lollipop version.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] francois64:
"Should i " ???

It's up to you to decide to update or not.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gianni1991:
I know it. I'm afraid about some things, like battery life ("fake" Stamina mode), performances and some others problems. For this reason I decided to ask in this forum :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] linuxct:
Good morning family!

It's my very first time posting in this subforum, but I think this tutorial was actually something needed, since all threads everyone can found while Googling are quite old (like, from the Xperia S times :D), and also I'm quite tired of infinite threads like this and this, so...

Today I bring you an extensive and unified guide on how to extract ANY SYSTEM FILE from a FlashTool's Firmware (FTF), whether it's from the userdata.sin or from the system.sin.

Since this is going to be a guide for all OSes, there are some programs you'll need in general,

Latest version available of FlashTools (for SIN dumping purposes).

A reader tool for the extracted image, which can be:

An EXT4 reader / mounter.

An Unyaffs2, if you're using this guide for an old device (like the already mentioned Xperia S, and older).

Some cups of coffee, and lots of patience [IMPORTANT].

But, some of them will be platform specific, so the thread will split in:

2nd post: WINDOWS

3rd post: LINUX

4th post: OSX

Here you've a video tutorial showing the whole process for the 3 OSes:

WINDOWS GUIDE

Step 1 - Extract the SIN we need

Using your favourite archive manager (WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc), open the FTF you want to extract the files from. (FYI: an FTF is just a Zip file with renamed extension)

Now copy/extract the SIN you want to unpack to a folder of your preference.

Step 2 - Dump the SIN

I'll take into account you already had installed Flashtools and Java JRE, in which case I highly encourage you to update both to the latest version available.

Now, open Flashtools. Click on Tools, Sin Editor. Hit the [...] and locate the SIN you previously extracted. Now, hit the [Extract Data] button. After a couple of minutes the bar should start running.

Once finished, you can have 2 kind of files: a .yaffs2 or a .ext4/.ext3/.ext2 file, which require different procedures on how to see it's contents.

Step 3.a - Convert the file to a readable format - UnYaffs2

If the file you get is a .yaffs2 format file, you're going to need to extract it. For doing so, you need this tool, which contains a executable and a cygwin dll.

Extract this .rar contents to the very same folder where you placed the SIN, and thus, where the .yaffs2 is located.

Now, while you're in that folder press the shift key in your keyboard, and while you keep pressing it, right click on a blank space in that folder. In the menu choose Open a Command Prompt here.

To end the proccess, type

unyaffs2.exe [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]<the-name-of-the-yaffs2>[/COLOR]

Where <the-name-of-the-yaffs2> you must type the file name of the yaffs2 (e.g. system.yaffs2)

The files will get extracted and you'll be able to pick the ones you need.

Step 3.b - Mount the image - Linux Reader

There're many many tools to mount a EXT format image in Windows, but in this case, I'll use the Diskinternals Linux Reader, since it's free and it's compatible with all 3 possible formats you can encounter: .ext4/.ext3/.ext2.

Download it from here and install it. (It must be this version, since newer ones are broken.)

Once done, you should be perfectly able to double-click-to-mount the EXT file Flashtools generated without any trouble.

LINUX GUIDE

Step 1 - Extract the SIN we need

Using your favourite archive manager (Ark, Peazip, etc), open the FTF you want to extract the files from. (FYI: an FTF is just a Zip file with renamed extension)

Now copy/extract the SIN you want to unpack to a folder of your preference.

Step 2 - Dump the SIN

I'll take into account you already had installed Flashtools and Java JRE, in which case I highly encourage you to update both to the latest version available.

Now, open Flashtools. Click on Tools, Sin Editor. Hit the [...] and locate the SIN you previously extracted. Now, hit the [Extract Data] button. After a couple of minutes the bar should start running.

Once finished, you can have 2 kind of files: a .yaffs2 or a .ext4/.ext3/.ext2 file, which require different procedures on how to see it's contents.

Step 3.a - Convert the file to a readable format - UnYaffs2

If the file you get is a .yaffs2 format file, you're going to need an extra tool to extract it. For doing so, you are going to need the unyaffs2 tool.

You can download a pre-compiled binary from here, or you can compile your own using GCC with the source code, the header and the code below inside a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T to open it).

gcc -o unyaffs unyaffs.c

Once you've a working UnYaffs2 binary, just copy it to the very same folder where you placed the SIN, and thus, where the .yaffs2 is located, and type in a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T to open it).

cd [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]<file-route-of-the-sin>[/COLOR]
./unyaffs2 [COLOR="Blue"]<the-name-of-the-yaffs2>[/COLOR]

Where <file-route-of-the-sin> is where the SIN was located, and where <the-name-of-the-yaffs2> you must type the file name of the yaffs2 (e.g. system.yaffs2)

The files will get extracted and you'll be able to pick the ones you need.

Step 3.b - Mount the image

Since we're already in Linux, mounting a EXT image is not that hard. Just mount it using this commands in a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T to open it).

cd [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]<file-route-of-the-sin>[/COLOR]
mkdir android
sudo mount -t ext[color="RED"]*[/color] -o loop <name-of-the-image> android/

Where <file-route-of-the-sin> is where the SIN was located, where <the-name-of-the-image> you must type the file name of the ext image (e.g. system.ext4), and finally, where ext*, replace * with the version number of the EXT image you're mounting, usually, ext4

Now, once finished, to unmount it, type in a Terminal.

sudo umount android
rm -fr android

Great job! Keep up the good work!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] hackslash:
Well. great guide.

Just a note, Microsoft officially released Bash on Ubuntu on Windows yesterday. Try it. It's a full fledged Linux subsystem but unfortunately only available to Windows Insiders. It would be the best alternate to cygwin.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sandeep.sethi:
Boot.img

How can i extract the boot.img

or is this applicable to every single .sin file present in the .ftf file
[Sony Cross-Device General] linuxct:
Thank you, I appreciate your words :)

I know, I saw the demonstration in the //build/, but since it hasn't been released for all yet (I guess it'll be for Redstone 2?), I didn't saw it necessary to be included.

No, this is only applicable for system.sin, userdata.sin, cache.sin and probably modem.sin.

However, if many of you request it, I could try making another for the kernel (boot.img)... But remember, every device doesn't have the same way/method to unpack the kernel, so making a generic tutorial for all wouldn't be possible :p

Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005

Current Firmware: Kitkat 4.4.2 (very likely bugged)

Hi,

I'll list the issue in 2 parts for easier interpretation.

Please advise on what I should do to rectify issue.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Restore your backed up EFS folder its the first step.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
Can you kindly elaborate?

Also shouldn't that be done BEFORE flashing, or am I wrong?

And also, in the steps I did above, was there any mistake in the process?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
Seriously, no one's capable to solve this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Seriously you have restored your EFS folder ??

As for the OP the stuff in the boxes is unreadable .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
No, I did not back up as I did not know that I had to before flashing.

As for the OP, there I used quote instead of code. I'm sorry for that. Do inform if it is still not readable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuandco:
There are some ways... maybe... search for "recover EFS" and you find some tuts which might help you out...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
I see. I have my IMEI number written down just in case, if that can help.

Assuming my EFS is not gone completely according to JJEgan, what tutorial would you recommend? I do not want to end up with a wrong guidance again.

I used Odin for flashing. If that Youtube information is wrong, could you kindly lead me to an accurate flashing guide?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sticky-roll-t3237249

Its the Downgrade that has caused the problems .Possible due to the modem and or bootloader .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
So I'm guessing this guide is the fix.

It said N900 though, mine is N9005. Can the same method work?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Nope but i have easier way to fix maybe:

I always use n9005xxugng1 latest kit kat firmware to downgrade and never had issues. Maybe flashing this will bring back your imei and so...

The imei goes cause samsung did change efs stuffs in updates thats because you cant go back to older firmwares without imei backup. (N9005XXUGNG1 should be working fine)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
But that is UK firmware and my phone did not originate from UK and wasn't bought there as well. Can that really work?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes should work. I have germany note 3 and flashed firmware from united arabs and is working fine.

If you want to go sure download the firmware from sammobile for your country...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
I flashed using the one downloaded from my country. Perhaps like JJEgan said, my flashing method was incorrect. Can you inform me on how to flash correctly?

What I did (more or less):

1. Wipe cache + Clear Data @ Safe Mode (Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button)

2. Used Odin to flash

3. Problem
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Do not use safe mode only recovery .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
Sorry, I don't understand.

Did you mean flashing firmware using Odin when phone is in bootloop/"Samsung Setup Wizard Has Stopped"?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Dont use safe mode for anything at all .

((. Wipe cache + Clear Data @ Safe Mode))

Flashing a TAR file is via Odin .

Flashing a zip file or clearing cache factory reset is via Recovery .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1.)

Backup your data

2.)

Enter racovery (Power+Home+Volume Up)

- Select wipe data factory reset

-select yes

-select wipe cache

- select yes

3)

Choose reboot phone

instandly hold volume down + homwbutton

4)

You will see downlaod mode (odin mode)

-press volume up to continue

6)

Extrac your firmware from .zip file

-now you should have an .md5 or .tar file

7)

Start odin

-click AP

-select firmware

-click start

-wait until complete

8)

Phone will Reboot automaticly

9)

Done
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
Thanks for the explanation, V_B. That was exactly what I did before that problem happened that made me create this thread.

I'll try it again anyway using your steps as the reference, this time using the firmware you recommended. I'll report the result after.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
Wait -- doesn't my device need to be rooted beforehand?

I just checked, N9005XXUGNG1 can work for BOTH Germany and United Arab Emirates, but not my country.

If you're still sure I can use that, I'll try it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyferia:
IT'S FIXED!

I reflashed it with firmware from the country I live in and it works perfectly, running KitKat!

Thanks, JJEgan and V_B!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Glad to see that all is perfect

Thanks fellow XDA members...

It's impossible to answer your question with the information that you provided. Have a look at Wikipedia to get the api level of you os (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history).

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
Thanks, tried the above but still got a bootloop. Once selecting api 22, there is then arm, arm 64 & x86.

I take it x86 is the correct version? When flashing arm there is bootloops and arm 64 would not work as the Z2 is not 64 bit...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
x86 is for Intel chips, not us. You need the arm one.

Arm

Not arm64

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] _ray_:
One of the main reasons i dont wanna go for S7 is becasue even when you put a case on it the screen still pokes out from all angles, which will result in a catastrophe if they phone drops face first.

Since G5 has a similar slope at the top, my question is does the top bit of the screen pokes out or sits flush with the case/cover you use ?

Thanks
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] sdmix:
I don't have a case for mine yet, so can't say if the case would cover it but the slight curve at the top is only very slight. It still fits flush to the metal top. I can't say I'm worried about it, even without a case on it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hestoft:
I have been following all these threads with much interest and thank in advance all you wizards out there for all your hard programming work. However, as a NUBE I have some (possibly lame) questions about what flashing a Tilt with the HTC Kaiser ROM will allow one to do. Please be gentle, here goes:

1) If I buy a Tilt, then use HardSPL to flash it with the HTC ROM, will I then be able to use ANY SIM card worldwide in addition to the AT&T SIM? What about a MaxRoam SIM Card?

2) Will the newly flashed phone continue to work with AT&T? Has this been VERIFIED by people in the US?

3) Will I be able to sign up for and use TeleNav on the flashed phone if I want to?

4) Are there ANY good reasons to spend $750 on an unlocked Kaiser when a Tilt can be had for $299?

Thank you all in advance for your kind assistance.

Hestoft
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] URPREY:
No, this only CID (carrier ID) unlocks the phone, not sim unlock.

Yes, it will work.

You will need to install TeleNav in order for it to work. No idea where you'll get it but I think it's a download from AT&T

Unless you need an unlocked Kaiser to use on a different network, they are pretty much the same phone so you don't need to spend any more money for the Kaiser.

[G3 Android Development] Carlyle_f:
Hi guys,

As with any other kernel, flash at own risk. This kernel now supports both D724 and D722 variants of the LG G3 Beat, since I do not own a D724 I cannot test its kernel. I will really appreciate feedback, especially for the D724.

Today I'm introducing my kernel that I've been working on for a while now. It still in its early stages so it should be considered ALPHA.

The idea for this project started when I wanted to make changes to the kernel of the ResurrectionRemix ROM I'm building, I decided against implementing these changes since the kernel must go through the ALPHA/BETA stages and this would make the ROM unstable.

This method ensures that the ROM stays the same with a separate kernel.

RustyKernel Feature list:

GPU OC

IntelliMM Hotplug

Alucard Hotplug

Zzmoove Governor

Intellimm Governor

USB Fast Charge

Compiled with UBER 5.3 Toolchain

DriveDroid support

Note: the above list might become outdated at times, check changelog in the post below to make sure.

I can not guarantee that this will improve your device or even work on your device for that matter. If this does not improve your device, do not spam this thread.

Devices are not 100% identical and so your hardware might react slightly different to mine.

I really need to thank [MENTION=5680977]thenotonly[/MENTION], whose github was a large component to this project. Reading through his commits helped me.
