I am lost, only found very old versions of S1Tools and I have no idea what drivers are needed and where to find them.

I tested a little with my open phone, shortcutted Mass with either 1 2 3 and 4

[IMG="Open Phone"]https://picload.org/image/rrodoidr/testpoint.png[/IMG]

and connected the USB Plug again. But nothing happened, I constantly got the same device reconized, also it reconnects atfer about 45sec again.

S1Tools gave me failures at my "Patch SECMBoot" attempts when the device reconnects automatically.

On other tutorials they stated that you should have some SEMC device connected.

Can somebody check aswell?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] joel-0602:
Alternative Software

Hello...

I found another software like the S1 Tools that is used for Snapdragon devices but C5 Ultra is a Mediatek device so I hope that the correct Software is the SP Flashtools here down follow the link...

http://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1524.00.000.zip

Best Regards!

PS: The Scheme from testpoints i still have not tested. But I'll do it with SP Flashtools for Mediatek and thats when possible I return...

[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] un.Known:
unfortunately no, I returned the device to its' owner with no success fixing the issue, you might want to try some google searching maybe something new was founded.

one thing to note: don't use flashtool to flash sony mediatek devices, that was noted in flashtool website
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] aidy.lucas:
It's only the c4 and c5 mediatek powered Xperia devices the new xa+xa ultra work just fine with flashtool. No idea why it hard bricks these two only
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] bigrammy:
This is what happens when a OEM(Sony) thinks they know better than the SoC manufacturer (Mediatek) FlashTool vs SPFlashtool then SPFlashtool wins easy

I did manage to get SPFlashtool to talk with the phone but it said baseband was secure and "add file???" What ever that file is I have no idea.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] vmasistemas:
Hi dude ihave the same problem and sony said that need to replace the board. I think they are stupids. I decide to find the test point and try to fix it myself. I see on the web the test points of other models of xperia and I see that all xperias if you want to turn on of hard brick you need to find the test point and surprise is live one more time. Only we need to find the way. If you find the test point or know how to do the emergency flash please tell me. vmasistemas@gmail.com +527821268309 whatsapp, Im from Mexico.

Hi.

I revived my C5 Ultra E5506!!!!

This is what i tried:

1.- Download FlashTool and Install it (Only use it´s flashtool-drivers application, mark "Flashmode drivers", "Fastboot Drivers", and all models with the word ultra on it C:\Flashtool\drivers).

2.-Download Xperia Companion and use it´s repair option, it will take a about 10 min to recognice mobile, and about 2 hrs to repair it. (before installing all drivers for step 1, Xcompanion didn´t detect it)

I was able to use my Xperia again, and i´m just having camara problems until now.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] martin2dn@gmail.com:
That´s a different problem, Companion can´t detect the phone because there´s no firmware in the phone. My pc only detect a COM port

Hello, I have the same problem, after I was trying to downgrade from 6.0 to 5.1.

Hi Friends. New Brand Vernee has published this article in its blog. It seems to be interesting.

Vernee Apollo Leaks: worldwide first all-metal smartphone with 2mm thick titanium alloy back cover

With the release of Meizu Pro 6, “all-metal” smartphones become popular again all over the world.

Due to the popularity of metal design in smartphones, most flagships and even mid-range ones now sport this feature. However, rare smartphones are able to take full advantage of the “all-metal” technology.

As the first flagship of Vernee to come, Apollo has great performance not only in hardware, but also in the appearance and workmanship.

According to vernee official news, Apollo will be the only smartphone around the world which adopts 2mm thick titanium alloy back cover. And its hardness is 2-3 times higher than that of common metal back cover.

What’s really amazing is the technology behind the metal cover. From the pictures released, we can see that Apollo sports complicated and accurate cutting technology and powerful internal integration capacity.

The leakage of Apollo’s metal back cover will definitely surprises its followers who stay tuned all the time.

So far, Vernee mid-range smartphone Thor is in presale stage now, and the shipment will be arranged by the end of this month. As for Apollo and Apollo Lite, they will come into the market later.

Vernee APOLLO and APOLLO Lite: coming up with Helio X20
[Device Reviews and Information] iacobus86:
Hi! That thread is closed.

I let you new information about this Apollo. It will take the Helio X25 CPU:

Vernee Apollo's upgraded to be powered by Helio X25 CPU, global first 3D video released !

As Vernee’s flagship, Vernee Apollo gains worldwide attention even though many other deca-core smartphones has been released recently.

Several days before, vernee has published Apollo’s main specifications and renderings. It’s without any doubt that the metal uni-body and high hardware configuration will be the 2 biggest selling points.

Moreover, vernee seems to be pretty good at making tipping points of its every product.

According to vernee’s latest news (https://www.facebook.com/972671569481015/videos/1009421932472645/ )

Vernee Apollo will carry Helio X25 chipset instead of previously said Helio X20 deca-core CPU.

Apollo will come into the market in July, and Apollo Lite in June. And Thor is in hot sale right now.

Powered by Helio X25, Vernee New Model Apollo Debuted in the GITEX 2016 Exhibition

Last week, MediaTek attended the GITEX 2016 Exhibition, bringing Vernee’s 4 models, namely Thor, Apollo Lite, Mars, and Apollo. All of them gained a lot attention from the local users and media.

Gulf Information Technology Exhibition, or GITEX is an annual consumer computer and electronics trade show that takes place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates at the Dubai World Trade Center. Its exhibitions in the Middle East have attracted numerous participants from over 147 countries.

On this trade show, Vernee’s coming model - Apollo, which is powered by MTK Helio X25 deca-core chipset made its first public appearance. Because of its high-level configuration and great design, it captured a lot of attention from local media.

Apollo comes with 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, and 21MP SONY IMX230 rear camera. Meanwhile, it’s equipped with a 2K display which features a resolution of 541PPI, ideal for VR experience. The high configuration, powerful performance, and delicate industrial design, all of them laid a firm foundation of Vernee brand in the Middla East markets.

And another Vernee’s model - Mars, just launched in September, is also very eye-catching thanks to its 1mm ultra thin bezel, all metal design and slim antenna band on the back cover.

Even though Vernee’s debut in the exhibition is somewhat short, it will be the starting point of Vernee’s journey of the internationalization. In the near future, there will be more great products from this brand. And it’s always Vernee’s goal to be a reliable international brand. Just as its mantra goes, Vernee will “Do better” and let more people enjoy the high quality life brought by high technology.

I know I can force LTE only but I need it to be PRL 3G or I won't be able to take calls.

Hello,

I just installed ClockWorkMod 6 (for installing CM11 later on like suggested here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583895 ).

The phone was already rooted when I got it and it seems there was a custom ROM on it as well? The start screen says: Rafael.Baugis Kernel.

And there it stays, it won't boot any further after I rebooted and followed this instruction:

http://techbeasts.com/how-to-install-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-ace-s5830s5830i/

What do I have to do now?

Go back into recovery and do sth. there?

How can I still get CM11 running?

Or is it even possible/reasonable to get a later version of CM?

(Here https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Unofficial_Ports#Samsung_Galaxy_Ace_.28GT-S5830i.2FM.2FC.2F5839i.29 it only reads up to version 11)

You are in the forum for S5830i (with i) but you linked the ROM from the forum of S5830 (withOUT i).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericDraven77:
Hello,

I use the OOS 3.0 Update on my OnePlus Two to have Marshmallow (Android 6.0)

Now I wanted to create a new contact on my phone and it asks me, if I want to create it in my Google Account. I can only say OK or cancel.

I don't use my Google Account to store my contacts and I don't want them to be stored there.

With Android 5.1 I created a local account in my contacts and stored allof them there. I sync my contacts using MyPhoneExplorer.

Now I have a local account on my phone after I synced the contacts, but I can't use it.

So all my contacts are stored correctly in my account store "Phone", but for a new contact I can't decide which account to choose and for the existing accounts I can only create an new Google contact, but I can't edit them on my phone as if I click on edit, it only says "New Google contact" and at the end after clicking on "more" I can see the local contact, but can't edit it.

Is there any solution on using local contacts on Android 6.0 ???

The program for creating a local contacts account "MyLocalContacts" doesn't work any more under Marshmallow :(

Problem #1 stopped when I turned off the slider at settings/accessibility/notification reminders. I swear it was doing it even when there were NO unacknowledged notifs though. At least it stopped, but does anyone know what invisible notif could have somehow remained unacknowledged without any way to see it?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ombadboy:
So I am contemplating whether I should purchase the S7 or hold out for the HTC 10.

I owned the S6E and sold it 5 months in mainly due to the fact that Touchwiz showed it's true face; became laggy as hell. In addition, battery life was not great either and trying to get a Custom ROM/root on an Exynos phone while keeping KNOX in tact for Android/Samsung Pay (and warranty as a matter of fact, but let's not get into that).. good luck.

I know that the S7 has improved massively on the battery front, however, how does it compare to the S6 with regards to the TouchWiz lag? My S6E was quite smooth until a few months in, and then became absolutely unbearable; factory resetting, etc, etc is not the solution to this.

I was wondering, if I were to go with the S7, root it without caring about KNOX, would I be able to get down to the bottom of what causes this lag?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
If the variant you are getting is the exynos version. Then its not a problem, i had my s7e for over 3 weeks. And it runs just as fast as day one, and with the auto restart feature, you never have to deal with the jank that comes with android after a long up time. I've seen the s6 on 5.1.1, and it didnt need months to slow down, probably weeks. But even it after MM update it pretty much became as smooth as the s7 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MN_Bug:
I have the Exynos version. I don't actually hate TouchWiz. I'm shocked. I have a Tab S and freaking hate it. But it isn't too bad on this phone. Plus no lag. I did disable any and every Samsung App that I could.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Wirelessgirl:
I have the Exynos version as well and do not experience any lag. IMO, the S7 is the phone the beat this year. I love it!
