[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
It's actually recommended to use firmware 4.x for Viper 6.1.0 (although the rom boots on 3.x, as well).

It's not odd at all. Re-read the explanation of the error or the RUU section. Both explain why the flash fails.

I checked the link in the ReadMe thread. It'sworking fine. If the file gets corrupted during the download then it's due to your setup (e.g. an interruption of your internet connection during the download, etc.).

There is no OTA for updating Venom 3.5.0. Custom roms can't update your firmware. Therefore, you need to update it on your own and to flash a full rom whenever the rom's base get's changed. The OTAs only update the rom (e.g. from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0). That's why there isn't an OTA for 6.0.0 -> 6.1.0, either. 6.1.0 is based on a different firmware than 6.0.0. You might want to read the article that is labeled as "The difference between rom and firmware" in the further reading section of the ReadMe thread.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwsderter:
Hey thanks Flippy you are the clutch, but I can verify that the files ARE corrupt.... I have downloaded it twice, and I have google fiber so I can guarantee that the connection was consistent. Winrar said the file was corrupted, along with when trying to flash TWRP would flash.... Any other ideas, you are the master at this Flippy, there must be another way...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
You should re-read the ReadMe thread. They're not corrupt. I thought that with "corrupt" you meant the MD5 checksum wouldn't match after the download. That WinRar error message is expected behaviour.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwsderter:
Ah gotcha... So I used the decryption tool to make a SD flashable zip, and what do you know, TWRP crashes when I swipe to flash... How come I can flash other ROMs but I can't flash stock roms without it crashing (Device turns off)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Please don't tinker around without knowing what you're doing and (as said before) read what got written in the FAQ and the RUU section. Extracting the *.zip wasn't needed at all since there already is a download link for an extracted *.zip. In addition, there are step by step instructions how RUUs can/need to get flashed.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwsderter:
Ok thank you "again" I have officially read your ENTIRE guide 3 :mad::mad::mad: times now, Not trying to offend you or make shame of your work, but the problem is I "THINK" that I am following your work.... I download the RUU for my phone (in this case SKU: 502 - CID: CWS__001 VERSION 2.11.502 (I have also tried 3.38.502.41 to no avail)) and everything is going as planned, I have verified that BOTH the CID and MID are matching that of my phone.... But when I plug SD card into Phone in download mode I get no such asked if I want to flash the file (as your guide says to do).... Ok so if I try to flash through TWRP it crashes, and if I try to Fastboot Flash the file I get what is seen in the picture attachment, and then nothing happens, except the bootloader page says "Under flash" and adds another line saying Under flash everytime I press the power button... My phone is S-OFF, is there another possible way to do this.... I swear to go I have read your ReadMe thread and I'm not just being arrogant, but my phone WILL not flash to ANY STOCK ROM downloaded anywhere from the Internet... [MENTION=5872674]Flippy498[/MENTION] I promise there has to be something I missed in your ReadMe (I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I COULD) or i'm getting damaged ROMs... I'm sorry that you have to put up with me and help me thus far, and let me say the XDA community deserves people like you, and less people like me who think they know what they are doing until something breaks...

EDIT: It seems the phone is missing a located at /dev/fastboot_download_j in the CMD screenshot. Should that be said issue how would I go about fixing that...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Your SD card isn't bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32? The file is placed in the root directory of the card and renamed to 0PJAIMG.zip (not 0PJAIMG.zip.zip and not OPJAIMG.zip)? The SD card method as it is written there already got used by a lot of users without any issues. The problem in this case must be on your end. What kind of error is stated at the bottom of your download mode? The M9 always tells you what's wrong. Either the SD card isn't mounted correctly (in other words you're using an unsupported format) or the 0PJAIMG.zip file is missing (in other words either non-existent on your sd card, placed in the wrong direction or renamed wrongly).

And of course TWRP crashes. Not every *.zip file can get flashed via TWRP just because it's a *.zip. (Just like not every *.zip can/should get unzipped just because it's a *.zip.) The only methods that can be used for flashing a RUU are mentioned in the ReadMe thread. And that's what I meant with "don't tinker around". You're doing things with files they're not meant to be done with.

The fastboot flash on the other hand can't work with the commands shown in your screenshot. That's a mistake in my guide. :silly: And it's even explained in the text above the instructions. I'm wondering why nobody (including me) noticed that before. I can only assume that it's because fastboot flashing doesn't get used that often for RUUS. The commands need to start with "htc_fastboot" not "fastboot". The normal fastboot isn't able to flash RUUs. I've fixed that part. Thanks for making me aware of that.

And in regard to the "damaged roms": The ReadMe thread explains how to check whether your downloads are fine (key word: md5). ;)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwsderter:
Once again Thank you for helping me out, the htc_flashboot command was what I needed, I was able to flash the stock rom through the command.... May I just say, you sir know what you are doing, and I wish you continue to help other people on this forms just like you've helped me.... I Installed the 2.x rom, but the OTA update didn't work :( for some reason... so I'm gonna flash the 4.x and then install ViperOne again...

And when I was saying "Damaged Roms" I was not implying that it was corrupted over the internet, but rather that they were never working in the first place...

Oh, that microSD card I had is in the trash now, since the only device that recognizes it is my pc, I assume it is on the brink of death...

Thanks again,

qwsderter
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
That's probably like that due to AT&T denying OTAs to phones that currently aren't using an AT&T sim card. You wouldn't be the first user that isn't able to receive AT&T updates for the M9. Don't ask me why they're allowed to do so. Something like that wouldn't be possible in the EU.

Don't forget that you need to flash one of Sneakyghost's firmware packs if you want to be able to flash 4.x RUUs. ;) (Keyword: encryption keys)

That's actually the difference between my ReadMe thread and most of the RUU collections on other websites. :p The files only get linked if they're known to be working whereas other sites link every RUU they can find. There are a lot more RUUs for the M9 out there than the ones I listed. However, these RUUs either aren't able to get flashed successfully or their roms aren't able to receive any OTAs - e.g. there's a second RUU for firmware 1.32.401.15 than the one that is linked in my thread and if you flash that other RUU you're stuck on its firmware version until you flash a different RUU.

If it's really broken you should thank whichever god you believe in that your phone wasn't able to recognize the card. Since your phone is S-OFF all security checks on your phone are disabled. That means if a file gets corrputed on the SD card due to its partition being messed up your phone would still accept the broken RUU, nonetheless. This would most likely lead to unrecoverable damages. In other words, chances are high in such situations that you create a fancy but expensive paperweigth.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwsderter:
Funny, I thought the same thing, until I realized it was ATT who I am paying every month to rip my girlfriend and I off. Well oh well, I know you are in Germany (From your profile) but if you ever come to the United States, I will say from my personal experience (my opinion, not facts) ATT has seemed to have the broadest coverage, but also is the (2nd) most constrictive (Verizon seems very constraining), to me ATT feels premium but they are also (in my opinion) the most likely to royally screw up... Oh well, no OTA time to flash!!!

Trust me, when I tried the SD card in the phone I thought, "That is a little odd", then both of my ASUS MemoPads didn't detect it either EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE RUNNING, I just assumed that they didn't work because MemoPads are the most budget friendly tablets ever and something broke, so I go to my Nexus 7 and realize it doesn't have an SD card slot so I couldn't test, so I popped the card in our Camera... Low and behold it doesnt detect.... Now the true question, why did my desktop detect it, eh whatever not worth my time.... The gods were looking down on me, they broke my $10 microSD and not my more than 10$ phone.....

Once again thank you for the help Flippy, you have no idea how much it hurt using my iPhone 5 for 2 days, I felt so inferior :D;):p

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] dc/dc:
As the title states, after this update, I've lost the VVM part of the phone app. The option to disable and enable still shows up in the Dual SIM menu for SIM 1 (where I have my SIM), but the place to read my messages is gone from the phone app. It will reappear after a reboot, but then will disappear again and not show back up until the phone is rebooted again even when a VM has been left for me.

I've tried clearing data from Phone and Phone Services, but the problem persists.

Anyone else had this?

No need for kexec kernel for this to work but I will try.

Not tested, but if there no bootloader change it will work.

I got my z2 few months ago but never tested all things yet as its not my daily device and got it to work on sony stuff as Im a samsung user for long time.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Ok. So welcome to Z2 space ;)

I'll try and report the result.

=========================

Man I'm trying to install the new TWRP but no success.

If I try by current TWRP 3.0.0-2, only Boot option theres to flash your TWRP. This won't works since the file isn't a kernel. I tried it...

If I try to flash it by fastboot (fastboot flash recovery yourtwrp.img) it flashes but nothing changes, nothing at all.

Must your TWRP to be flashed in FOTA partition using dd commands?

My Z2's history: stock MM .291 > UB > kernel Abricot v8.1 > MIUI 8

Yes i know but no kexec have some bug with this device, if power off from 2nd rom, i can't turn on my phone, i need to hard reset with power and volume up before turning on!

Also your recovery isn't working, simple i can't boot your recovery with key combinations "volume down then power"
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] afaneh92:

Sorry for late response, I have done the script but boot.img size more than 20MB (zImage gzip format) we cant flash it.

Will try to build stock kernel with lzma or another compression soon. Also I need some free time to work on multirom for stock.

You can swap ROMs for now by installing AOSP on primary and stock on secondary.

Is your phone CID unlocked ? if it's not CID unlocked,try to unlock and read and follow the unlocking guide by Dr Puttingham in the stickies.If it's CID unlock,it's a bad flash and reflash the rom,get your phone in the bootloaders mode (multicolor screen) connect via usb cable and check if small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders screen and run the Ruu application.
