[About XDA developers] K3nshiro:
Dear Moderators and Forum,

This morning I discovered the "gift (member name here) ad-free" feature on some signatures.

I wanted to make use of it for a specific member, so I clicked on it and saw the drop down menu for 1 month, 3 months and 12 months.

Doing a quick calculation, I think that the 3 month option has a volume discount error...

Here's why :

Price 1 month : 3.49$ -> 3 x 3.49$ = 10.47$

Price 3 months : 10.99$ -> I believe that this option should be below 10.47$ (see above). Maybe

9.99

$ was meant ? As it's stands now, It's cheaper to pay once 3.49$ every month for a period of 3 months...

Price 12 months : 29.99$ -> Volume discount ok here.

Can you please check this ?

Best regards,

Ken

Also, just so you know, you'll see the gift feature on every post that has been thanked by someone.
[About XDA developers] K3nshiro:
Hey the_scotsman,

Let's imagine a scenario...

I get for a user 3 months ad-free. Another member gets for the same user also ad-free at the same time for the same period. Is it an accumulative feature? Meaning that first 3 months will be used and when the period is over, the next period starts from the second gift? Or are both gifts valid for the same time only ? ;)

Sorry for so many questions!! [emoji6]

Cheers

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatMew:
Hi guys,

Just unlocked my bootloader and began the root process.

I followed part of this guide but without backing up my DRM keys. http://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/summary-tutorial-root-sony-xperia-z5-t3360515

I flashed my kernel and the recovery O.K.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

flashboot flash boot boot.img

I've tried two versions of TWRP and two different versions of the kernel AndroPlus.

When performing fastboot reboot after flashing both files my phones LED blinks RED once and then does nothing.

Dramatic and scary. What can I do to fix this? When trying to boot without the cable in my phone just vibrates once and does nothing. Screen doesn't light up at all. I'm so worried.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acabreram:
did you try to flash first the boot.img and after the recovery ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatMew:
I've tried another kernel and it's booting but hanging at the three dots. (bootscreen) been waiting a few minutes. hopefully it gets to system.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acabreram:
Ok yo can try this too

Y tried and working fine root & xposed

It's tus stock kernel but with the habilita to support root
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robledog:
Similar issue for me

I've had almost exactly the same issue today:

- I unlocked boatloader using Sony standard process

- I followed the steps under 'How to Install CM13' within CTXz's guide here

- After flashing the Kernel and THEN the TWRP, I reboot and the phone flashes red LED, then green, then off, then red and then stays on green for a while (screen is blank). My computer registers that there is a new connection by making a sound but doesn't show up any devices that I can see.

- Periodically, I get the device disconnection sound and the green LED goes off, then red comes on, then solid green again until next cycle.

- If I disconnect the cable, the LED goes off. When I try to turn the phone on without cable attached, it buzzes but does nothing - no LEDs. I can't tell whether it is on or not, except that doing hard reset with PWR+Vol.Up gives no reaction.

- When I re-attach cable normally, the red/green LED sequence starts immediately with no need to turn PWR on, which would suggest that the phone is perhaps on.

- I am able to get into bootloader as normal and fastboot registers the device just fine.

- There is no yellow LED

I started with Kernel AndroPlus v24 and TWRP 3.0.0.0.

Failing that, I tried Kernel v20. Then I tried AndroPlus' twrp-2.8.7.0-E5823-32.0.A.6.152.

Have also tried Kernels v20 and v21 with TWRP 3.0.0.0.

I haven't had any fast boot errors - all flashes come back 'OKAY'.

I'd be very grateful for any help? Have I missed something?!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robledog:
update to my post above:

I used: 'fastboot boot recovery.img' and this fired up the Sony logo with white screen and blue LED. However, after 10 mins of waiting, there was no change in status and I still couldn't get into TWRP with pressing Vol buttons, even after several restarts and unplugging, replugging etc.

Then, I realised the stock ROM on my phone before this whole process was Lollipop 5.1.1 Build 32.0.A.6.200. So, I flashed older versions of the Kernel and TWRP. Now, I can boot into the ROM and use the phone (almost) as normal except, being plugged in, it keeps re-detecting the USB cable. I now also get the Sony boot screen followed by yellow LED.

If I don't touch anything, it boots into the ROM. However, if I press a Vol button while the yellow LED is on during boot, then it just resets.

Thus, I still cannot get into the TWRP interface. Perhaps I need a TWRP version that is specific to my build - the one I have is from AndroPlus website and refers to the previous build (twrp-2.8.7.0-E5823-32.0.A.6.152.img)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robledog:
okay, further update (to save someone replying!)

I managed to boot into the system using AndroPlus Kernel v05a (I had Lollipop build ###.200), but still couldn't get into any TWRP.

I then followed the general process explained in this thread, albeit had to do a heck of a lot of research to understand the detail that is omitted from that (otherwise very useful and concise) original post. For example:

- how to actually use Flashtool (installing drivers and then getting hold of the right firmware from within the program);

- the difference between Fastboot and Flashmode;

- having to plug in the phone while it is loaded into the system before then flashing the selected firmware with Flashtool and ONLY THEN unplugging, switching off and booting into Flashmode.

- loading up the system after flashing the Kernel and TWRP so that I connect to computer and re-copy the erased SuperSU .zip file back onto storage, and then re-booting into TWRP and how to flash a zip file with TWRP.

Having now got a stock Marshmallow firmware rooted, my next step is to go back to the original guide I was following and try to install Cyanogen!

Thank you to all the people who have posted help guides throughout this site so that I could piece together what I needed to do - even though it has still taken me about 30 hours of my life to learn all this!

Hopefully my experience might help someone else in due course...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palomino7:
I had the same problem and solution is as is written here.

I had to flash Stock Firmware Marshmallow via Flashtool. After this I flashed kernel(boot) and recovery without problems and yellow icon will displayed.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Don't want to warm up this kind of old thread, but I have exactly the same issue (E8523). Would any of you mind to post their (stock) ROM versions which finally worked? I tried almost every combination that came to my mind (Customized CE1 32.2.A.0.224 => v31, several LP versions => more or less 20 to 32...).

Currently after installing the MM I mentioned the stock kernel worked, but when I flash the AndroPlus kernel (fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img) it won't boot up, black screen, looks like no dtb found (doesn't even try to load). This is also the message I get when I try to boot this img via fastboot directly.

I am sure I am missing something really stupid (quite new to android devices), but what? :confused:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
Pro tip: hold shift and right click inside folder with recover.IMG or voot.IMG to open command prompt from that folder. Then all you have to do is type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG. I suggest trying to put a custom recovery like twrp on and flashing the xpower ROM from that, it will give you everything in one package.

Edit: fwiw I'm pretty sure custom recoveries have been able to flash .IMG fils for a few years now but I've never actually tried it. Might be worth a shot.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Thanks, but I haven't found cmd.exe on my linux machine yet^^ (I suppose wineconsole is cheating ;) )

I know how to flash *stuff* to my phone, but that *stuff* seems only to work if some specific version of stock rom was installed previously. My best guess is the bootloader changes and supports different dtb formats on every version.

Stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 Customized CE1 32.2.A.0.224 does _not_ work for installing any version of AndroPlus kernel (tried a few...). It fails at boot (does not even load system, probably dtb).

Just in case someone might run into similar issues: What finally worked was Stock MM 6.0.1 Customized DE 32.2.A.0.224 with AndroPlus v31. It seems to be some older release (?), it says R2C instead of R9C for Customized CE1.

I could not find this information anywhere on the net (maybe its me), so for those with a slow internet connection the above version should work. You don't have to actually boot it, flashing is enough.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superk0ek:
Thanks for sharing the information in this tread, it really helped me to unbrick my phone!

I started with Lollipop on my brand new Z3C and tried to root using AndroPlusKernel v31 / TWRP 3.0. This resulted in a softbick state, only being able to boot in fastboot mode.

After many hours struggling, an upgrade to stock Marshmallow (E5823_32.2.A.0.224) did the trick. This somehow seems ta make the device ready for the new kernel and recovery (I guess it has to do with the partitions in the filesystem).

Anyway, from stock Marshmallow I could start all over and succeeded to flash a custom bootloader, recovery and now have the ability to flash any desired rom! Thanks again.

To updrade to stock MM I used the instructions in this thread:

[GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool

To set up TWRP recovery I used the instructions in this thread:

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][6.0.1][E5823/E5803] CyanogenMod 13 for the Sony Xperia Z5C [ALPHA]

The stock rom I used for my E5823 is "E5823_32.2.A.0.224_R1C_CIS Generic_1298-5167.ftf" from xperiablog.net

Since I'm a new registered member I can't post external links:rolleyes:

Google it and you're set!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Katzenmuetze:
I'm having the same problem, where did you get that MM stock version from?

And what do you mean by "you don't have to actually boot it"?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Search for XperiaFirm and Flashtool. There is plenty.

You don't have to start your freshly installed Stock Rom version "...". You just have to flash it (write it to your phone) Now you boot your phone in fastboot mode and flash your custom kernel and mod rom of your choice. Seems to be some incompatible whatever between not matching kernel versions and the "stuff" flashing installs (suspect sth like bootloader, but no idea).

Then right before they finish they say its rooted and they want 7700 nok (927 us dollars) to change the screen!

Nei det der har de ikke lov til. Hvor sendte du den inn?

Det er som du sier, rooting er software og har ingen ting med skjermen og gjøre. Si du klager de inn til forbruker rådet, og at rooting innunder Europeisk lov, ikke skal ha noe å si på garantien.

No, they are not allowed to do that. Where did you send it?

It's like you said, root is software, not hardware and doesn't have anything to do with the cracked screen. Tell them you will complain to the, ehhh, not sure English word, but forbruker rådet. And that root, under European law, doesn't have anything too say for the garanti
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xile6:
damn. yea they cant do that.

Root has nothing to do with the screen. And then your paying for the repair so it shouldnt have went up on price just because your rooted.

So I've ended up destroying (the charging circuit) my I9000 by removing the usb connector the wrong way. I've followed this guide

but I was to impatient with heating up the usb connector., Because of that the copper pads came along with the pins of the usb connector.

So now my question. Is it still possible to make the charging circuit work?

I've found these two images. Source 1 and Source 2. I don't know if the images are right, can anybody confirm this?

But if I run wires from the pins of the usb connector to the components in the image would it make the charging system work again?

Or are there any other smart solutions to fix this issue?

OK, long story short, I was with friends in a tent and got pissed. When I woke up my phone was in a dry spot however out of charge. I put it in charging it went on however after few min turned off (think it had a bath in beer - no reference to swimming pools by Kendrick ;) ). I put it in rice but it hasn't changed at all. I got it from a 3rd party Chinese site so they don't have warranty with LG (but have their own 1 year one) , the liquid indicators on the battery and above the sim are still white. They are paying for shipping so should I open it and try to clean off residue? It says no tempering in the terms and conditions so... Also its rooted but since it doesn't turn on I doubt it matters. What should I do.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommylittle02:
I know it seems like a stupid question but I've got nothing to loose at the moment so I'll explain my situation.

About 3 months ago I took my Xperia Z1 for a swim in the pool to see how the camera performed underwater. The screen started to go black when I took it out and then it completely shut off. I took it inside and turned it on again. It lasted a minute before shutting off so I plugged it in to the charger and got the boot logo before shutting off again with nothing: Screen was off, no led, no vibrations, nothing.

I opened the flaps and they were still white and still are today and there was no moisture or anything. I tried plugging the phone in a few days ago to see if it still works and the led turned on and it just stays like that with no action. Left it for a few hours but still nothing.

I don't really need this phone anymore because I have a Z5 now but a second handset is always nice to have. The pool water would have had a very small amount of salt in it and I think that might be causing issues. Either that or there is still water in there (unlikely) or parts have rusted or even the phone might have got shocked when I plugged it in to charge. What I was thinking was opening the ports and soaking it in water for a minute or less and then taking it out and putting it in a bag of dry rice to drain the water out of it. I'm not sure if it will work but I haven't got anything to loose so I was wondering if it is even worth giving a shot or even some tips would be nice.

buy some electrical contact cleaner from a computer shop or maplins etc, spray that all over the circuitry and contacts and scrub it off with a paint brush, there is a good chance it will work again as it will remove any corrosion casued by water, ive repaired hundreds of water damaged phones this way and it doesnt need any special things.....
