Im trying to downgrade myxperia z2 d6503 mm 6.0.1 firmware to LP so I can root. I have followed a few guides so far and I get the same error when trying to flash LP firmware in flashtool

* FIXED

I thought id try downloading the ftf directly into the flashtool firmware file and that solved it, im guessing something got lost in transferring it from downloads before. Now i have LP i have to figure out the rest, root and recovery time :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshbro:
It's because u don't have device/flashtool driver installed, and the driver won't install from the normal windows login, U'll have to Reboot to windows 10 using advanced startup with disable driver signature, then go to that directory where u've installed flashtool and find the driver setup file and run it and tick all the z2 device, adb drivers and the necessary drivers from the setup, And then try flashing it again, It'll work.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z2Newb:
I do have all the drivers installed , i did all the above prior to attempting to flash. I honestly dont know why it didnt work before but as i said before it was fixed by downloading the ctf directly to the firmware file. I managed to root and install, recovery and lollipop. Now for some reason i cannot boot into recovery so im trying to work that out now. I appreciate the info rakeshbro, cheers

Grrrrrrrrr

After a few hours of getting through to stage 5, it all went tits up!

Isaved the pre-routed mm and the bootlop fix to my SDmicro, but having wiped the system as per step 5, no matter how I try I can not get this saved mm to flash. Flashtool just does not see it. Infact, neither did my pc until I went back to step 2 and re-flashed the lolipop.

I have even tried copying the mm to windows and still Flashtool wont see it.

What am I doing wrong?

Pressing the vol \/ down after flashing recovery simply starts android in Safe mode.

Will try again tomorow
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hariskh:
what does it say when you install the recovery after completion?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dazman9:
Success....

After 2 days of going round in circles, I decided to re-start the PC and start again from begining, and this time its gone through plain sailing. I think the problem I had was in either not thoroughly reading through the instructions, or simply not taking them in. Had I have read the READ ME file in the Lockedduelrecovery then I would have saved myself hours (and a complete re-start).

Fortunatly I have a back up phone (I seem to brake my touch screen at least every 12 months!) and that it what I tried this rooting process on. Now I know a little more of what I'm doing I'l do the other phone once this one has finnished recovering my backed up apps.

Thanks for your assistance Hariskh. :)

Iv owned a few different devices over the years and iv noticed that out of all of the devices that iv owned, tested and tried the sony phones seem to boast the biggest camera specs but produce the worst images?

One camera i was very impressed with was my most recent samsung s6, but apparently the s6 camera is made by sony and the specs actually seem worst on paper?! :eek:

What im asking is why can other manufacturers use sonys cameras in their devices to create brilliant photos but sony seem to fail at mastering their own product?

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:
I repaired my phone a week or so ago and ever since, my GPS won't work. I obey broke something but don't know what to look for or do. I can say that the motherboard got a small Crack up by the top speaker somewhere. That likely is the cause of this and I'm probably SOL, but maybe someone has some insight or good ideas.

Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahent:
My guess is maybe the crack goes across part of the antenna for the GPS. Not sure though I haven't pulled this phone apart so I don't know where the antenna is. Worth a shot to look and see if you can solder a jumper.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:
Thanks for the thoughts. I'm trying to decide if it is worth the risk and hassle of opening the phone back up if this isn't even related. I'd love to learn where on the phone the GPS is (Is it a module?, an antenna? something else?)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob342:
Did you ever find a solution to this? or can you tell me where the board cracked? ill be the guinea pig trying to fix mine if i know where to look.

Or has anyone else ever been able to identify the GPS hardware inside the phone?

Mine came back from motocare with the GPS broken. I sent it in mint but with a defective camera. Been like that for months. Yesterday I broke the screen, which I just changed. Still no GPS. I could not find anything GPS related, antenna, cables, etc.

I must say these phones are a pleasure to fix. Just tape and 21 screws.. all the same size except one.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] betatest3:
Okay, first, I do not know where I should put this thread, it is for the HD2 specifically, but might one day be useful for other devices.

So, I have an idea, I would like to create an app store for Windows Mobile, specifically Windows Mobile 6.5, NOT Windows Phone, NOT Windows Phone 8/10, NOT Android, NOT Ubuntu or Meego or Firefox OS.

This app store would be updated, it would contain apps that are compatible with WM6.5, also, you would be able to select your device resolution, and get apps that work with your resolution, it could have a tweaks section, so any tweaks could be installed with just a few clicks.

Also, developers would be able to submit their own apps, and people should be able to submit older apps that work on WM 6.5.

So, what do you guys think, would you support such a project.

P.S. What would you think about me trying to get a HTML5 render engine running on WM6.5, so it could use some new mobile-web apps?

P.P.S. Recently, someone with an Android phone, was able to de-solder the NAND chip(with some equipment), and upgrade the internal flash storage, does anyone think this would be possible with the HD2?, maybe we could get 4GB of internal flash instead of 1GB?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mister B:
Not bad idea.

My company done more basic idea with a repository of apps with description for our WM6.5 users.

Was some quality software for WM, when compare to junk apps you get on android it really night & day, shame Microsoft didn't see potential & develop it more back in late 2000's as it was far better code than android & was the birth of the smart phone & many parts of it copied by iphone & android .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] betatest3:
So, do you think that it would be feasible to make an app store, like this? And what do you think would be a good name for an app store?

I could easily set up a website, however, I do not know how hard it would be to make an installable cab for it.

I could have a basic website, set-up in just a few minutes(without SQL server, which would be needed for an app store).

The main problem though, is getting permission from app developers to put their old apps on the app store, some of the companies don't even exist anymore. And we would need to get NEW developers to make apps and put them in the app store.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mister B:
You not likely get much support for new apps as just such minority of WM6.x.x devices in use .

Problem 2 is like you say most old apps dropped by developers, many recent apps I got hold of are technically warez but that only way get them & activate them as devs dropped them & purchase option from websites. IM+ was example of this, I wanted purchase a licence but they dropped WM & wouldn't help me out so I had do work around making it a non expiring trial using mortscript to launch app .

If you do any sort of app store and want worthwhile apps then it not going be possible do it 100% legal unfortunately.

Our work web repository is not exactly legal but it keeps WM6 alive & we got about 30 WM6 users who happy :)

Personally I would do just a good designed web repository with app sections & details & downloads linked to account logins.

If you can build a software app to act as store it would be good, building cab is the easy part .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] betatest3:
So, it looks like, my website host will not work then, I just made a new account with them too(it is free tho :) ), my web host says ABSOLUTELY NO warez :(, however there is this site called "umnet", they have a lot of stuff for lots of devices, including Windows Mobile CAB's. It is not very easy to browse umnet, and there is a lot of garbage, and it is not very easy to sort out what you DO want from what you DONT want. Back on-topic, if I am to make a app-store, I will need to find another host, or something like that.

P.S Is your work app repository, publicly available, or no?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mister B:
No it on our own server & requires account.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] betatest3:
Okay, too bad.

Now, about the app store, I have identified all of the main challenges:

1. Getting a server and/or host.

2. Getting all of the apps.

3. Getting permission from developers to put their paid/non-distributable apps on the server.

4. Setting up a search/description system(will probably be SQL based).

5. Getting the .CAB set up.

6. Getting people to use it.

I have an idea for, convincing developers to make new software for WM6.5, a development fund/bounty. Right now, many people who were once WM6.5 die-hards have stopped developing programs for WM6.5, maybe we can get some new developers, AND get some old developers back, by giving them an incentive to develop for WM6.5. This could be a bitcoin fund/bounty, when a developer wants to make an app, he/she can ask for some bitcoins from the bounty and that could help fund development if his/her app.

Also, ROM's, many ROM's are inactive, my next idea is to, create new ROM's with WEH builds, they will have ALL of the same features and apps and drivers, and versions(6.5.5, the best), but be based on WEH, because WEH has some new under-the-hood stuff like newer security standards, WiFi encryption standards, etc...

Possibly, we could even create new/improved drivers, via reverse engineering or something like that, AND possibly, dig up enough information to implement some of the features of Photon(what WM7 was supposed to be as of 2008), like an unofficial WM7(NOT WP7).

Hello there.

I just bought the OPX and it's a great device (except for the camera, of course)

But I have this weird video player problem.

videos are lagging and stuttering everywhere! twitter, youtube, browser, anywhere! except if I used an external player like (mx player) it goes kinda smooth.

I tried to disable nuplayer (or enable it, I don't remember but I changed the default state :D) and got to nowhere. Same thing.

I've came across some webpages of people having a similar problem, yet no one have offered a proper solution.

Blu-spark kernel really improve the experience with the OPX. But I still have this problem sometimes.

I noticed that it's not on all vids on the youtube app for ex. It should be related to the video format (of course, worse on 1080p) & codecs/encoding properties (VBR ou CBR) or the servers the video is on. My data speed transfer is not the issue on that.

[LG G Flex 2] ShadowRii:
hi everyone so this may be a stupid question however I wonder, there will be probably soon an update to marshmallow and i'm willing to update mine rooted lollipop rom.

would it be better if I unroot it by flashing my stock rom with flashfire and then update or wouldn't it be a problem if I update my rooted phone with the Ota?
[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
Flashing stock with flashfire is more risky than applying OTA on a rooted phone. The best would be to wait for a kdz image of V20a/6.01, flash over the phone wiping all data.

Is it bricked for good? I tried to flash it again but if I choose firmware upgrade or download+firmware upgrade in sp tools I get the pmt info error. Is there any way to get the phone back to a working state? Any help would be much apprecited.

Hey all, I really have no knowledge when it comes to phones, so any help would be appreciated.

I have been trying to root my LG G3 for a few days now, but it just wont happen. I have tried PurpleDrake and ioroot and end up with the same error every time whilst the phone is restarting. As the screen is black and attempts to boot, in the top right of the screen, the message "Verification boot failed! cause- MISMATCH_SIG_LEN" and then the phone will just go to a black screen while the LED alternates blue and red. This also happens when I try to enter stock recovery. I know I have the latest ADB drivers installed and the right drivers for my phone, so that can't be it.
