[Sony Xperia M5] LCYE234:
For Marshmallow, should we use systemless root or standard root? Especially in the case of dm-verity and unmodifiable system partition.
[Sony Xperia M5] farshad9500gy:
you can flash system.sin (only system.sin) with flashtool and remember use latest version and sync device.
[Sony Xperia M5] farshad9500gy:
dd command is a way to flash a image of the partition this fotakernel(recovery) is not a image of partition!

only way to flash this recovery is unlock the bootloader and use fastboot.

before unlock the bootloader take backup of this partition with dd command:

ta(drm keys and bootloader)

nvram(imei)

boot

fotakernel

you can restore drm keys and locked bootloader by restore ta partition with this tool:

https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases

remember:

when you want to restore ta partition first copy ta.img to internal storage.

DO NOT EVER flash the NVRAM or TA partition of another device, even if it's from exactly the same model. You'll hard brick your device by doing that.
[Sony Xperia M5] LCYE234:
Thank you, but in addition, would method help in regaining functionality in DRM dependent services/features in scenarios that the TA partition was not backed up? Especially for Android 6.0 stock.

I want to install S1Boot Fastboot driver but Device Manager doesn't show my Xperia M5 :/
[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:
If someone made a copy of fotakernel (recovery) as partition ...

Could I then rewrite the partition with dd command?

In case if it worked.

Could someone upload the copy of partition?

I'd be really grateful.

Do you need a specific version of the partition?

I currently have my M5 5606 with android 5.1

If it works for you just give me the steps to do it and Ill get you my backup
[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:
This is the partition:

Well, the steps firts is the this post.

My computer, after 9 years of sevice, is dead (death programmer for the factory?), I can't unlock bootloader, then I only can install recovery for terminal emulator.

Then I need (and other users with bootloader locked):

1. A user with unlock bootloader, Install recovery via fastboot.

2. Reboot the phone and start terminal emulator (busybox installed previus)

3. Type the next commads:

- su

- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

This is for make a copy the recovery partition. Only users with unlock bootloader.

If this work, then the users with bootloader lock could install the updated copy from recovery partition with the next command:

- su

- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/fotakernelbackup.img

- dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9.

This could work, I don't know.

Hi my friends

first I'm sorry for the phones boot loop

do not flash any supersu.zip to your phone

To correct phones only flash system.sin with flashtool .

see this video for how to flash your device:

http://hw16.asset.aparat.com/aparat...nfob7gf523e2ddgec0969b9872000-815q__15d6e.mp4

Do not chick Wipes

only system should be unchiched

and chick cust-reset and simlock to exclude them

and remember do not flash Incompatible zip file.
[Sony Xperia M5] ataraxist:
May i know what happened if this is not deleted? ==> recovery.from.boot.p

THIS IS IMPORTANT

The rom has:

Go to root/system find recovery.from.boot.p and Delete it.

[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:
The recovery with unlock bootloader work fine... but... if I lock bootloader again the recovery not work.

The supersu update not work fine because rewrite boot partition, only flash boot.sin with flashtool in mode flash for fix bootloop. (this fix only work in 5.1, in 6.0 I couldn't fix this)

[Sony Xperia M5] グリッチ:
Flashing the SuperSU zip on 6.0 also causes bootloop, and the fix that I do is reflashing system, not boot. All of the data is still there so nothing gets lost luckily, but it's a pretty tedious process.

Most of the apps I've tried only let me shuffle the entire library, or the all the albums for an artist, or only one album. I want an app where I can select which albums I want to add to the shuffle list. It's something really simple, but I can't find any app where I can do that. Do you you know any? Thanks.

How can I install it, my usb wont connect to the device?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] noem:
read the hard spl manual :)

*MICROSD FLASHING*

***IMPORTANT***

Please make sure you have HardSPL on your device.

1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it)

2. find the ROM image you would like to use, normally namede RUU_Sign.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh"

3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)

4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.

5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birleytweet:
Hi this has working perfectly in the stock ROM never had a single issue sending or receiving text messages. I'm not even talking about MMS messages, just basic text messages. I'd been using Go SMS Pro and did a backup and restore after flashing this ROM. SMS from SIM 2 had been working, but not from SIM 1. I tried resetting permissions, clearing data, deleting the SMS database itself and nothing has working. I just tried a factory reset and using the stock SMS app wouldn't send from either SIM card.

This is really annoying as SMS and calls are the main purpose of a phone and not sure why it doesn't work.

I'm not sure what else I can now do without waiting for a different ROM to be released. I'm in Australia and did notice there's no option to choose Australia as a region, but couldn't imagine that making a difference. I've also tried other SMS apps and none of them will work either. I'm not sure what else I can do. Please if anyone has an idea let me know. Thanks

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] format:
I don't know if this problem occurs only with the OP3. It seems the phone stiil uses 3G if Wifi is not getting a connection (wifi with exclamation mark)

When I connect to a wifi network that needs login, if I don't login the OP3 continues to use 3G instead of failing to connect. This causes me problems to access the gateway page to login, because it gets confused and it tries to access the private IP with the login page using the 3G connection..

I remember my S4 had a possibility of seamlessly switching between 3G and Wifi. Can't I disable this feature in the OP3?

Right now I have to disable the mobile data to force the login through the wifi connection. Is it just me with this problem?

This can be handy in some situations where you loose wifi connection in a public hotspot, due to a timeout, and the phone uses 3G instead of leaving you without any connection. But right now is causing me problems to connect and I must be carefull with huge traffic apps because you can be using 3G instead (look for the !)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] format:
I still haven't solve this annoyance. Currently the best workaround is to temporarly disconnect Mobile Data. That will leave the OP3 without internet access, and then it pops the login page (I guess it then assumes the gateway IP is private).

After logging in I can turn mobile data On again.

This is very annoying. Don't you have this problem, especially with corporate wifi networks that require login?
