[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Some time ago, I replaced my Xperia SP's battery.

The "used, like new" battery I ordered was as bad as the one that was to be replaced, maybe even worse.

I complained, got another-one. This other battery works great.

Remember: There are no "new" batteries out there, just used-ones.

Some are still good, some are dead.

I don't know where replacement batteries that are new should come from... Sony has never sold them as spare parts. I don't know of any company that produces batteries for Sony phones and sells these batteries on the open market.

I only know of third party spare parts for iPhones. Apple has sold only like 20 different models since 2006.

Sony? More like 100.

Producing third party spare parts just isn't profitable in this case. That's the reason why there aren't any.

Any seller who claims to offer "new" batteries lies. At least if he didn't take them from some never used devices.

I'd be HAPPY to be proven wrong because I also need a new battery for my Z1.

Besides, it's no wonder all our phones' batteries die at the same time. They are all the same age and have had more or less the same amount of charging cycles.

Also, it's no wonder they all die the same way (suddenly empty).

They all (more or less) came out of the same factory.

It's like with cars, same model, same problems.

A Peugeot 206 always has problems with the Zylinderkopfdichtung (don't know the English word, the rubber thingy in the motor that keeps water from mixing with oil), some stuff with the wheels or the exhaust flies off because of rust... for the third time in 5 years...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravel_grinder:
Your allegations, are worth investigating.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravel_grinder:
[solved]

Very important updates.

There seems to be an "xperia battery bug" which kicks in at every battery change.

After having done all the calibration stuff, I re-opened the phone and took the battery connector off, while the phone was on.

Then, did the same, with the phone off.

After three or four days in which the phone did not seem able to start, (rebooted at the first stages of switching on) the phone magically booted up with, and what's more important there was no dicrepancy, between the battery charge level, shown when you plug in the charger, with phone switched off, and the charge level presented by the software, once the phone is on.

So, do not give up your still worth device!

Only thing I noticed now, is a sligtly faster battery consumption, even in stamina mode;

could it be related with the post above?

Maybe a new custom ROM could fix the problem, now that the phone seems stable.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafay01:
Similar problem.

Phone shuts down when 2 to 3 apps are working simultaneously. It first heats up and then suddenly dies.

Secondly, it sometimes dies on 60% and other days it can work till 1% too. Sometimes after a reboot, it shows the battery percentage abnormally.

I love this phone so i m not planning to throw it away. On the other hand, i cannot find an original battery in the market.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravel_grinder:
Just chuck a suitable battery in and do the procedure I described.

My battery is not original either, so no problem.

As far as the battery consumption, it seems to be better now, after a week of use.

Please let me know if it works. Im trying to confirm for all sprint users. And im already rooted on zv6 so i cant try
[Sprint LG G4] ilyas1514:

Man i was hopin it did
[Sprint LG G4] ilyas1514:
Its weird and sucks i cant connect to the internet :crying:

Any way thnx bro :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint LG G4] lowkeyst4tus:
If the phone won't let you edit the apn, it's now sim locked. The only way to make it stick is to have it done by Sprint.. I called sprint and im on zve.. after they said it was unlocked on their​ end, I went to uicc unlock in settings. After clicking it, I got a toast saying I was sim unlocked. The ls991zve went from saying invalid sim to MetroPCS.. if you don't have the last sprint account info and if it wasn't active for 50+ days, my fix won't help. Also, it can't be blacklisted or it won't work.. I'm curious on if we are still getting marshmallow root..
[Sprint LG G4] Alex_XV6700:
did you try the modded shortcut master for ls991?
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
With the apn settings locked out shortcut mas wont work either itll get u into the apn settings but they wont stick

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

If u got msl also try setting itson to disable sometimes on zv6 that worked to for invalid sim

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Sometimes with msl u also have to disable itson setting
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
again guysim unlocked on zv6 so i dont know if this works for sure but with root u can switch it back and forth and get thye invalid sim notif

might try that then try apn settings

but either way if it works or not let me know and ill attempt to start a guide
[Sprint LG G4] iBowToAndroid:
If editing the APN isn't available after SIM unlock, then that means the unlock was done by an amateur who has no idea how to do it correctly.

When done correctly by an expert, the APN setting is fully accessible and editable, without any "shortcut" app needed.

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Coolyou:
Notice: This guide is only for people who already know how to flash files/roms and have a basic knowledge of how to do things around.

Change your carrier version

:

If you are on Nougat unlock bootloader and flash Revolution Recovery TWRP / If you are on Marshmallow unlock bootloader and flash Meticulus TWRP.

Download OEMINFO here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2bSDn-aRfzRM1NFdHk0R0N2Mm8/view?usp=sharing

Download VNS-L21c185b150 update.zip here: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v67049/f1/full/update.zip

Extract it and put UPDATE.APP in dload folder on SD CARD.

Go to TWRP and flash OEMINFO then reboot.

Use 3 button method to update

You are done! Now you changed your carrier to middle east c185

Install Nougat b360

:

Flash Meticulus TWRP

Download update_data_full_VNSL21_hw_meafnaf.zip

Download update.zip

Place both files on your SD card

Without reboot flash first update.zip then update_data_full file

Now reboot

Wait a few mintues and your phone will boot with c185b360
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] neonemo99:
Do you have also the OEMINFO for L31, or is it the same?
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Coolyou:
It's not the same if someone has for VNS-L31 they can post it here.

PS: All links in this thread are especially for VNS-L21.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] JimmyEatFood:
Will this work for me in the UK?

Is the difference between VNS-L21 and VNS-L31 just the sim card thing?

Does FB messenger force close?

Battery drain?

If these answers are to my liking I will follow this guide straight away!

Thanks .
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] gtdaniel:
All VNS-L21/L31 are single sim/dual sim...

Hello. I have vns-l21c432b336, rooted, twrp rc2, unlocked bootloader but i want to switch to c185b360. My question is: when my bootloader will be relocked again can i unlock with the code that i have from huawei or the code will not be valid anymore? Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Coolyou:
Yes, you can always use that same code.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] testosujohn:
OK, thanks very much man. And one more question if i may, compared to c432b336, how is the battery drain and the quality of calls because here it is the main problem and this is why i want to switch to c185.

Everything is far better and optimised, some people have battery drain, but i didnt encounter that problem so far.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] gtdaniel:

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Coolyou:
No, you don't need that method. You'll get back to Marshmallow then you will update to nougat.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] P9liter:
why do you want to switch to c185?

C432 has the most recent firmware up to date/b380 dual sim /b381 single sim

C185 is on b360,/there is listed firmware up to b384 but there is no way to install them/

I would suggest you not to mess up the things that you are not sure

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Razor10707:
Thanks for the answer but this question is a bit old and i was sure back then as welk i only didnt know if i needed to rollback but i didnt and it was because i wanted to update to B384 and now it out so i might go back

I'm trying to unlock my sprint samsung galaxy s4 so that i can use tmobile. I'm a complete noob so I just did some research and tried to follow directions correctly. I've managed to first flash the phone from l720vpsgpl1 to mf9 then to mdc using odin. Then when I tried to unlock the phone, for some reason the service mode page is blank and the imei number is missing. I read somewhere that i have to flash it back to mf9 and root the phone. I rooted it with cf auto root through odin. Everything seemed to be fine until "software not recognized by samsung has been found on your phone" with a yellow triangle showed up upon reboot. I can't even get past the logo screen. I have it back in download mode now and tried to flash mf9 again...Honestly I don't know what I'm doing and have spent days trying to unlock my stupid phone. Someone please help and give me precise directions. Thank you so much.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Yes, hard bricks can happen at any time due to the inherent flaws of flash memory. One failed block can make others fail and if there isn't enough spare blocks then the nand loses its mind, quite literally.

[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] gringo1er:
Hello

That tread may be my last chance to unbrick a phone...

One of my relationships have bought a chinese AL10 Honor 5c

He decided to unlock the bootloader and to "europeanize" the phone. With NEM-L51 rom... unfortunately. And, of course, it sim-bricked the phone.

Before trashbining it, I have tried to help him to recover the original rom. But it was impossible to reset it totally, due to unlocked bootloader.

Now, the bootloader is locked, but now when I start the phone, I have to type a password to decypher the storage. The password is accepted, but the partition appears as corrupted.

Proceeding to a factory reset is inefficient, I bootloop to the "type the password" alert.

Every rom I try to apply with the dload + update.app procedure, it fails....

I don't have ideas anymore....

Any idea? It would help....

Thanx
