Downgrading to KK isn't necessary. Use the EasyRoot tool instead.

Alternatively, you can grab a pre-rooted FTF through XperiFirm/XDA or build one yourself.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent-h:
Are you saying easyroot works on the latest 5.1.1 Sony firmware? Damn I'm an idiot.

I'll try to flashtool to the latest ftf from xperifirm and then easyroot it and go from there.

thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpplease123:
I don't think easy root works on 5.1.1. I tried it myself.

So what you wanna do is to downgrade to 4.4.4 and use EasyRoot from there, where it really works.

Then you make a pre-rooted FTF file + the latest version you want. You'll need a recovery for your rooted phone.

Flash it, and ta-da, you just brought your roots into the latest version!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent-h:
you are correct the method linked above didn't work to root.

I did however managed to root 5.1.1 by using kingroot, replacing kingroot with superSU using the terminal editor and then flashing the dual recovery.

I'm now happily rooted and running a custom rom.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpplease123:
Yeah. I took the hassle myself to go back because the one click root apps seem to be shady and I do not trust them.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent-h:
Fair enough, this was my old sony phone and I just wanted to breathe new life and usability into it with some custom roms.

If you did go back to 4.4.4 I think you can just pre-root a ftf file and flash it if you want the latest fw
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpplease123:
yep, that's what I said in my last post. Btw, does your Xperia with Facebook work?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent-h:
I have not tried that.

Like I said it was an old phone that I was just breathing new life into. Will likely become a home media controller device/ back up phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpplease123:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshokAravindsn228:
Hey guys,I searched the forums for custom ROMs for my device but all were useless First I stumbled upon emotion lollipop(named Note4.zip or something) which I was able to flash with carliv touch recovery easily but my device did not boot.Then I tried myanogrn mod 12.1 and 13.1 both unable to install with any recovery I installed(carliv,philz,cwm) showing error of some 'status 7' and when I try to fix it with the assert deletion there is no assert lines in the ROM's update-script . Finally I decided to post the question here to find if any of you know the answer.My device is running on KitKat(4.4.2) stock ROM,rooted, baseband version:MOLY.WP8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43,2014/05/29 11.15.

Kernel version:3.4.67 and build is:ZAW1800G_060A_V8_2_5.

If anybody knows any ROM update please send me a message with the link to download the ROM file.Thank you.:cowboy:

I've just received the stock firmware image from Motorola. I'm trying to return it to stock since theyve approved my request for an rma. I tried the return to stock tool but realized it was a 5.0 image and the wifi doesn't work. Now, when I try to flash the official image , flashing the gtp partition returns a remote failure. Does anyone know why this is?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DixieChicken:
I'm not sure why the partition flash doesn't work. It failed on mine as well, but after applying the rest of the factory image things things worked just fine. The instructions on the Moto site are not accurate for this device so here are the correct steps:

$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot reboot-bootloader

$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot flash system system.img

$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

$ fastboot erase modemst1

$ fastboot erase modemst2

$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

$ fastboot reboot

You can safely ignore a failure of the gpt partition flash. In addition, you may have to flash the modem NON-HLOS.bin twice. Mine failed the first time but succeeded the second. This may be why you were having WiFi issues using the tool which only attempts to flash it once.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glypter1:
I am also receiving this error. My knowledge of this stuff is small, but from what I gathered it's the device protecting you from a potential hardbrick. Usually happens when you are attempting to downgrade to something that would normally break the device.

I have the latest image from Motorola as well, yet I receive the same error when flashing gpt.bin. I can do everything except flash this file and relock the device. Would really appreciate an explanation for the real reason for this happening.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayatsugu:
Good day to all,

this is my first phone that comes with internal storage and not an external SD card so I just wanted to ask if performing a factory reset (via recovery) would erase the internal storage that holds the photos, data, among other stuff.

I did a rough search on Google and found conflicting information (some going by factory reset via Settings would remove everything, /sdcard would not be touched, and so on)

I would like to move on from using the stock ROM to trying out other flavours and based on past experiences with phones with removable SD cards, doing a factory reset will remove everything that is on internal.

Thank you for your time in reading this.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renosh:
No factory reset won't touch your internal storage

What is #4 or 4DPG?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farazk86:
Recently my friends samsung galaxy s3 stopped working, it just froze and refused to respond to any input, only way to recover it was to take the battery out.

Now the probelm is that when I restart my phone, it starts up alright but after the first touch it freezes up again. It doesnt matter if I swipe down or on the menu, it registers the first touch and then freezes. And I have to take the battery out again.

I would like to point out he told me that he had been getting the internal memory storage low warning for quite some time now. And when I restart the phone, the warning pops up again before freezing.

I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a fix to this, if anyone experienced this before.

However what is most important to him is the data on the phone as it has great emotional value for him. I suggested a factory data reset but he did not even want to hear it.

If you connect the phone via usb to the laptop, the message of MTP connected shows up on the phone and then it freezes again.

So I noticed that I could get into the recovery menu of the phone, so I looked into the adb options; ``adb pull`` and ``adb push``.

I connect the device to my pc in recovery and give the command ``adb devices``. This is what I get:

List of devices attached
3230569a6f4ea001 recovery

So the phone is connected in recovery, not in normal mode. So I tried the pull command to pull everything from the sdcard

C:\Users\kek\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb pull /sdcard/ E:\F_backup
/sdcard/: 1 file pulled. 0 files skipped.

When I go to ``e:\F_backup`` there is a single folder in there ``sdcard`` which is empty. The same is the case with the other folder ``sdcard1``.

So I try the push command:

C:\Users\kek\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb push e:\Kingston_SE9
_G2.txt /sdcard
adb: error: failed to copy 'e:\Kingston_SE9_G2.txt' to '/sdcard/Kingston_SE9_G2.
txt': Permission denied

And I get the error ``permission denied``.

So I go into shell to see whats going on:

C:\Users\kek\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ ls
cache
data
default.prop
dev
efs
etc
fstab.smdk4x12
init

lib
lpm.rc

sdcard1
sys
system
tmp
ueventd.goldfish.rc
ueventd.rc
ueventd.smdk4x12.rc
shell@android:/ $ cd sdcard
shell@android:/sdcard $ ls

I type ``ls`` and am presented with the above list.. so far so good, but when I go to ``cd sdcard`` and then ``ls`` nothing is returned. Same goes for the other folder ``sdcard1``.

I am open to suggestions here and would appreciate some help.

P.S. I would like to add that ``ls`` works on the ``tmp`` folder

shell@android:/ $ cd tmp
shell@android:/tmp $ ls
recovery.log
recovery_backup.txt
shell@android:/tmp $ cd /
shell@android:/ $ exit

[MENTION=4120915]farazk86[/MENTION]: I'm not familiar with ADB, therefore I didn't answer. So, in case of silence, flash TWRP 3.0.2 with Odin. If phone isn't rooted, pull out battery after flash to avoid reboot, because by reboot stock recovery would be replaced. Boot into recovery and in Advanced you find filemanager and terminal to copy everything needed to extSdCard. But maybe, partition-table is damaged: then you only can try to read out extSdCard on Pc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farazk86:
Thank you for your reply. I'm just open to any solutions, it doesnt have to be adb.

Can you please explain what you mean by "if phone isnt rooted remove battery immediately after", do you mean when Odin successfully flashes then I should remove battery?

Is this process risky in terms of losing my data? Can I delete my data by this process? cause I found out that using fastboot we can load a recovery without installing it, using "fastboot boot twrp.img". Is the process with Odin low risk as well? As this phone is stock and not rooted

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
If you can load and boot into recovery by fastboot, do so.

By Odin, you must pull out battery after flash is done (in log-window). Maybe its enough to tick off reboot-option. Afaik there is no factory reset triggered.

Hi,

So I downloaded TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/twrp-3.0.2-1-i9300.img.tar.html

And followed this method to flash it: http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/

Flashing went ok I guess, this was the log I got.

Now when the phone restarted I wanted to get back into recovery using pwr+menu+vol up but it did not enter TWRP but was in a constant boot loop.

I also had this small red exclamation mark on the top right of the screen..

Some help would be really appreciated.

How does it reboot?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farazk86:
It just reboots normally, I can get back into download mode as well. But when I try to get into recovery I get this red exclamation mark and it just boot loops.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
As I said before: prevent this automatic reboot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farazk86:
Yes, I did that, as soon as I got the pass message I removed battery.

So I then unchecked auto-reboot from the options before flash. Now when TWRP is flashed phone does not automatically reboot, stays on.

I then disconnected the phone, removed battery and tried to get into recovery after entering battery .

Same thing, red exclamation mark on top right and wont enter recovery, just boot loops :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
Ok. If unchecking auto-reboot works, you must not pull out battery. Try to boot after TWRP-flash into recovery directly.

If this gives the same bootloop, internal memory or PIT is damaged. Then you could try to repartition, but by this you loose all your data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farazk86:
I managed to get it working. Thank you for all your help.

The mistake was from my side. With the old recovery I would hold the key combination till I got into recovery, but I guess TWRP takes time to boot, so me holding the key combination would cause the reboot.

So this time as soon as I saw the red exclamation mark (which I guess is a confirmation of entering recovery) I let go of the keys and TWRP booted right up..

I am now backing up all my data.

Many thanks again :)

This is my first smartphone, so thanks for this great forum!

[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
welcome to the forums.

to get the "residue" off, hard reset and soft reset before the "customizing starts"

however, memory will still be taken up by the cabs. also, it won't run as efficiently as possible.

To remedy this, it is recommended that you install a new rom. Read the tutorials.

I suggest the touch-it 2.0 or the 2.3 Beta for wings.

Thanks for the replies.

Things may change in a few weeks in relation to which rom to change to.

I hope there is a version that has bat stat and page whatever pp preset to optimal (6 mb, I guess).

Last PDA i had a was a clie around 3 years ago, so this will be very new for me.

I will check up again when it is in my hands on the latest optimal rom and installation...

Thanks for the info about early unlocking. Anything specific to make them do it early? Is it a simple procedure that will allow me to use the Wing in Europe with a SIM from Wind cell service?

Also, what is the best option for a 1-2 gig memory card. Most economical, best deal...

My laptop has an SD/SDIO/MMC card reader, so what is the best option for me?

Also another question, is there a case that protects the screen while allowing the use of the screen at the same time?

Thanks!!!
[Wing, P4350 General] alanlh:
The Wing from T-Mobile USA came with a clear screen protector film, a leather case w/ belt clip, also I've seen people got clear plastic shell for the Wing from ebay.

The Wing takes MicroSD card so such a card and a full size SD card adapter (usually comes with the MicroSD card) are your best choice. A 2GB MicroSD card will be great for you if you can get it cheap.

Enjoy your Wing!
