[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redjge:
It shouldn't be easily bricked, can you try accessing and pressing the reset button near the sim tray similar to this?

[IMG="Reset Button"]http://www.hard-reset.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/forcesoftresetsonyxperiaz5compact.jpg[/IMG]

after that, try connecting to PC while holding volume down using Flashtool
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spawnos:
Yep tried that also. Sony also doesnt want to accept liability. So keep away from any Sony products. At least Samsung sort out their **** when it happens.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sceryavuz:
Please keep calm, did you correctly installed Fastboot, Flashmode and Z5 common driver?

I think you did NOT.

Follow these steps, then your pc detect your phone..

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tashum:
No it's not, the only sign of life i get from it is when i hold power button and reset button(the one near sim/sd card slot) together, three vibrations and that's it, but it won't boot.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L33Tgod:
can you go into bootloader mode ?

holding volume up and plugging cable ?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tashum:
No
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spawnos:
Same on my side. Red light blinking and that is all. Just wonder how many phones was bricked with the last update, Sony has managed to do that in 2012 and 2015 with updates, and in all instances not accepted responsibility for their crap
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tashum:
And looks like if you don't have warranty, it's game over...

Unless anyone has any ideas??? It would be greatly appreciated!

I have "hard" softbricked Z5, in my case is only Red LED blinking with charger connection. I tried to keep Power+VolumeUP over 20 sec, but without result, phone is still death. I tried Power+VolumeUP+Reset Button hold - it's the same result - nothing, death. Flashtool and drivers is installed correctly, previously flashing firmwared worked. Fastboot waiting for connection and red LED flahing, it´s all :( :( :(

Are you in Canada by any chance? Because I'm having same issue with my sisters bell mobility sony Xperia z5. Flashing red light only when plug in and solid red light when trying to turn it on. It only happen a few days ago. I believe it was only recently that bell sent out the OTa update. This is pathic if my sister is now stuck with a dead paper weight from a official update , out of warrently with almost a year left on term. Please let me know if u find a solution and I'll do the same. Good luck
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mira96H:
Thanx to your answer. Post on previous page I read and tried all step by step. Results is only red LED flashing. Buttons combination Power + Vol Up does nothing - no vibration.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tashum:
Update

I left my z5 connected to a wall charger, with rubber bands on power and volume up, for a few days. I checked on it a couple of times every day, sometimes the red light was flashing, sometimes not. After three days, I think, I unplugged it and tried the power button. The red light blinked three times, which it wasn't doing before I left it charging with the rubber bands. Any idea about what changed?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbehreif:
This is most likely not what's wrong, but I would like to share my two metaphorical cents nonetheless.

The last time I had a so-called softbrick ended up just being a defective USB cable with broken data lines. The phone wouldn't switch to fastboot or flashmode if the cable only carried current and not data.

I hope you get yours sorted!

Cheers,

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] 3dd1:
Having used vanilla android for many years now, one thing I am missing is the stock android battery usage in settings, it is offers far more information than the LG one, when the screen was on, whether it was awake, signal strength etc. I have looked but can't see it available anywhere, does anyone know if it is even possible and if so where I could get it please?

I would also like battery in quick settings, is this possible as well, it seems to be about the only one missing from the LG customisable one!

Hi,

I have installed S.H.I.E.L.D. ROM about 2 days ago... many thanks to [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]... the ROM seems perfect so far.

The only thing (maybe a bug?) is "double tap to wake" that is too sensitive. Only a soft touch and display switch ON.

There is a solution? Some string or value in some system file?

Thanks a lot for answer

[Galaxy S6 General] xCopyrightPvP:
Be aware that this is still a concept and not a fully fledged thing

QUICK START​

This is a system which prevents kangers from stealing ROMs from its original developers.

In this concept, it is hard to integrate, but should work well.

HOW IT WORKS​

This system is divided into 3 layers, and a fourth additional one which is unnecesarry, but can be integrated too

1. Layer - Friendly Zone

- ROM is packed like system.new.dat similar to how AOSP ROMs are built

Layer 1 can't prevent the kanger if he/she has the right software to unpack and repack it

2. Layer - Warning Zone

- If the kanger changes the build.prop, the system won't boot due to few additional tweaks

Layer 2 can't prevent the kanger if he/she understands the build.prop well

3. Layer - Nightmare Zone

- Very specific files are arranged around the system, mostly apks, but can be masked as frameworks
- Yes, these are masked files which can be deadly
- If the files are changed or deleted other files can scan for them
- This means that if the kanger deletes a masked trigger file the other files will be alarmed
- When the other files are alarmed they start doing their actions
- Their actions can be either direct or indirect
- If indirect, they will trigger a very well hidden .sh script somewhere in the system which is a really deadly file
- If direct, they trigger the actions themselves
- The actions are: Mount all partitions, wipe all partitions, even the internal storage and efs

Layer 3 can't prevent the kanger if he/she knows the exact file locations

4. Layer - Beyond Hell Zone

- This would be an extension to the 3. layer
- There was a thing back in the days of the s4 and s4 mini that could disable you from using download mode
- If I remember correctly you can do this by a cc code, but I'm not sure

This thing should be automatically triggered when the layer 3 is triggered
[Galaxy S6 General] j_tag:
I kinda get your point here but.. and i myself dont have the knowledge to make a rom or modify a rom so i speak as a user.. isnt the point with this whole forum to share/make/use roms? No one is propably not making these roms to make money i hope. If you start closing up roms then how does it differ then from samsung/lg/huawei etc. Wich have closed roms/bootloaders and so on and leave everyone waiting for someones breaktrough. And all the glory should of course go to the original rom maker but sometimes someone else just hits the sweet spot in someone elses rom and makes it from great to even better.. but of course it should be mentioned whos rom it was from the beginning..
[Galaxy S6 General] xCopyrightPvP:
I see what you mean, and you're totally right. Just it's I know Alexis and Sugar are having pain because of kangers. Sugar said he'd quit XDA because of this. Now this system is a concept as I said, so it doesn't necesarely have to be made. This is why I don't make ROMs, I build them. Sure I need the 21gb source, but really, it's much more enjoyable see the camera break on aokp, see the bluetooth work on los. Also, Alexis likes your comment
[Galaxy S6 General] TheHardew:
Some troll could specially trigger the layers, share it and an innocent xda user would get his phone bricked, maybe even destroyed (layer 4).
[Galaxy S6 General] Noxxxious:
Anti kang already exists. Nemesis roms have them and aurora (not sure about aurora tho). Zone 3 and 4 would be illegal on XDA, it is forbidden to destroy someone their phone, i.e. a script that wipes EFS and all. It is even sad.

By the way love the anti kang idea when all work is based on an open community that shares mods. Kang is just a childish discussion made up by people. Eventually all these roms are "kanged" from a manufacturer and then slightly modified, which as you remember is based on the idea of an open community. For the people who prefer ego over kang shouldnt release anything.

You should ask yourself the following: Isn't cherry-picking someone else their work and publishing it as a rom or something the same *lol*? Atleast S6 has working HAL, fingerprint etc now..

Kang out:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 General] geiti94:
there are only 4 or 5 guys that knows how my/aurora antikang works because they have it byself in rom. and yes when build.prop string is changed it dont boots anymore :o

and no i dont have any plans to share how it works or then all can bypass it
[Galaxy S6 General] ponchofiesta:
I have read in a Nemesis ROM thread about this "antikang" and I am really shocked. What's wrong with this community? All the custom ROMs rely on an open phone architecture. Without freeware, open source tools and other knowledge there work wouldn't be possible. And now those people try to prevent other people from doing the same. And they try to do it in a very eval way by "destroying" the users data and maybe more. Without people that share there work open source and everything based on it including 99% of what you find in this forum would not be possible. This is absolutely disgusting and everyone should boycott those ROMs and techniques!
[Galaxy S6 General] geiti94:
when someone wants somethings in rom can ask but kangers can forget it. and like you said all things are here on forum so they can add it byself in rom and not kang it
[Galaxy S6 General] Poesini:
I see this shi* and try to realize what has become of the community...

I get and share your anger when kangers get their hands on precious pieces of code that took time (most of the time unpaid) to come up with and not get some kind of recognition, but this is lowering and resembling their level of ignorance/lack of manners and just makes you the same or worse than them

I mean, trying to destroy/damage/soft-brick phones if just evil and it is not justifiable by any means and in any way that I see, helps the community in any way (I mean, it would reduce in a drastic way kanging, but it does not contribute in any way) other than protecting the "dev-ego" that many have here
[Galaxy S6 General] tomiga:
Maybe Samsung should start coming down on people for "kanging" their ROM.
[Galaxy S6 General] SoDeadly:
Most stupid idea I've ever seen on this forum.

That would be a bad new for AOSP "developer" lol.

Anyway it's not your creations at first. Its based on Samsung work. Or MIUI for MIUI ROM of this section.

Remember the good old days when people used to mod Sony Ericsson or Motorola or symbian or windows mobile? People used to do things because they wanted they're creations on their phones and to share it!

Now like the rest of the world everyone just wants to make money, i knew it would come to this too bad i didn't think to maintain a forum since the old days maybe now i would have been king xda. But no it's a shameless idea if i like the rom but want to modify it a bit for my taste why should it brick my phone? Yes you could implement these things but instead of bricking phones why not just send a report that it is used modified by more than 1. 5 users then you know it's a ripoff. Then xda knows and the developers knows what to shutdown.

hi guys,

i need a sw like Magicall, which can filter I/Obound call and sms, not showing "secret" calls/sms for the blacklist in the call history but in a private log, not ringing or notifying when someone on the blacklist is calling, and not backlighting of the display.

On symbian there is GINA or Blackballer. I tried Blackballer for WM on my VARIO II but not work.

Hope you'll find an answer...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chanty:
Doesn't MagiCall run on your device? I think it is the best sw of this category for WM devices. You can get it from: www.mobiion.com/magicall.html

If you want a warez, you will get no answer. It is not allowed here.

Hey guys so I'm a complete noob when it comes to this sort of stuff but I've been following a guide to root my phone which I can't link here because newbie.

But after trying to boot the phone into recovery mode with "fastboot boot twrp.img" the phone gets stuck on the TWRP splash screen.

I'm kind of stuck here guys and any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Woody:
Just popping in right quick, but your command is wrong.

It should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no ") The 2nd recovery in that string is going to be the name of your recovery. If it is twrp.img, then use that. If it is Mondaysux, then it'll be mondaysux.img.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] stefinho:
Yeah I already input that command first as the guide said followed by the command that I stated to boot it, thanks though
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
What version of TWRP are you using?

I'm assuming you're on OOS 4.0+ and are still encrypted? If so, use the latest unreleased official version.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] stefinho:
I tried using an older version first as that was the one that the guide linked me to but after it didn't work I found that version you linked myself and tried it but I'm getting the same result
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Woody:
Also, the command to reboot to recovery is "fastboot reboot recovery"

Putting boot into anything is making the fastboot drivers think you are trying to flash a kernel (boot.img)

Edit: Also what root version (specifically) did you use?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
Try using fastboot to wipe the recovery partition before flashing twrp again.

The commands are:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery [twrp file name].img

Then reboot to recovery
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] kunal1540:
Why not use the volume keys from bootloader to go to recovery

And using system in f2fs format twrp takes time to reach main menu

So I suggest after flashing latest recovery as suggested by other members wait for 5 to 7 minutes
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] stefinho:
Tried that but still getting the same result :(
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
How long are you waiting while on the splash screen and how much of the phone's internal storage have you used? As mentioned above, TWRP will take longer to boot while you use the phone's default f2fs storage system. The more space you use on the phone, the longer it takes to boot.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] stefinho:
Okay so going into recovery with the volume buttons instead actually worked and I feel really dumb, thanks you very much though
