Yes, I disabled HTC Home screen and it effected the ilauncher icons. I then disable the ilauncher and the home screen icons was working w/o any problems (so it seems). Would it matter if I install the program to main memory instead of SD card. This is the only issue I am having with this program.

Any suggestions, you are the first to reply, thanks.

If I can not resolve this issue I guess I will try Pocket Plus. Hate to buy to programs.

thanks for any help.

I tried storing it main memory and same thing.

SP Flast Tool Error

Guys,

I am trying to do a nvram.img backup with SP Flash Tools, but when I connect my turned off phone I always get this error

ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL.

The phone than just starts (it shouldn't, I am not sure why). Someone had this problem before? I running the August release rom.

Thanks!

It was a problem with the cable connection due to the plastic cover. I removed the cover and the cable is now well connected. Everything worked....

Don't understand why when booting up with the 20170920 rom, the boot "Bluboo" shows up twice: first saying "Powered by Android" and than black screen and than powers up again just saying bluboo....

I'm not able to get into recovery.

After doing something stupid on my phone, i wanted to flash a new rom (crDroid). But the recovery gave an error 7. So i wanted to flash the recovery from the thread. I wasn't near a pc so i downloaded an app called Rashr to flash the recovery.img. But then my phone wouldn't boot or get into recovery.

So i used the official flashtool from sony to flash the official software to reset my phone and now my phone works again, but i still wanted crDroid. I downloaded a permissive kernel from zach and installed it through fastboot. I also installed the recovery through fastboot but when i booted, no yellow light came up and holding the volume up button wouldn't work as well.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Also fastboot boot recovery.img results in the phone being stuck at the sony logo
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serenize:
When you have recovery installed in FOTA partition, you can enter it by holding VOL DOWN + Power button while the phone is off.

The way you described only applies when recovery is installed in boot partition.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
This only works with 100% reliability after flashing at least .160 Nougat firmware via FTF (XperiFirm),

then flashing twrp/recovery via

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and the behavior varies from country to country (or even firmware to firmware, among network operators / giving the name "custom firmware" credit :silly:).

This time [2nd flash of .160 firmware, different operator] the notification led lights up violet for me, previously it was something else (a form of red, orange) and recovery almost instantly booted up,

now it takes several seconds - if not 30 seconds until it's in TWRP.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickvrolings:
Okay so i'm on 34.4.A.0.160. I flashed some different recovery images by now but still no change in the situation. I did al the recovery flashing using the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' code and fastboot gave no errors and it looked like it works everytime. But when i boot there is no led light during the entire boot sequence.

Also booting to recovery with volume down + power button when phone is off, didn't work. It just boots normal. I tried it serveral times and every time i changed some things, like pressing the volume button or power button for a longer time. Also once again, here no led indicators appear....

My led light is not broken as it still lights up when i get a message.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickvrolings:
I installed a old lolipop firmware through flashtool, installed the Androplus permissive kernel and recovery, also from Androplus, through fastboot. Now when the phone boots it gets a yellow led indicator. When pressing volume up during the indicator, the light turn orange but the phone does not boot into recovery, but instead reboot itself.

Once again, no idea what is happening. Fastboot is working fine or i would not be able to flash the permissive kernel and get a yellow led light. But why won't my phone boot to recovery? I tried multiple different variants of twrp by different people. Tried multiple firmwares. I think there is something wrong with the partition where the recovery is stored. Is this possible? And if so, how would i fix it?

I had a similar experience. What worked for me was

"fastboot erase recovery" before fastboot flash recovery etc.

Might work.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Wow - folks there you have your answer - but no one seems to care or read it:

well, I flash twrp to the recovery partition (FOTA huh ?)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

after both steps were [OK]

you can disconnect the cable (= phone off)

Now press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time,

wait for the Sony logo/screen to appear,

wait 1-3 seconds and release the POWER button - keep the VOL DOWN button pressed [probably can release ALL but still ...]

the phone should boot into TWRP/recovery after quite some time

Maybe the file(s) you tried to use to "reflash to stock" is still on your computer? If so, tell us exact version number, and file name.

Was it on a custom ROM and/or root before you tried to "reflash to stock"?

In bootloader, does it say bootloader is LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED?

Do you have TWRP installed? And if so, what version?

[Android General] amirzaim:
Today I'm gonna write on how to set zram swappiness for budget Android device which have zram built in it. This method does not requires rooting but involves boot.img editing and requires flashing.

What you need is:

1. Boot.img file extracted from the ROM file package or just dumped from your rooted device.

2. ADB tools installed.

3. Bootimg.exe tool (Download from the attachment here)

4. Notepad++

5. Patience

Here's how to do it:

1. Create one empty folder and place both boot.img and bootimg.exe tool in one place and then, Ctrl+right click to open CMD/PowerShell in the folder. If you're using PowerShell, run the command cmd after launching.

2. Run the command bootimg.exe --unpack-bootimg boot.img to extract the boot.img file.

3. Go to initrd folder and open up init.rc or init.[device-chipset-name].rc with Notepad++ and find the code snippet that are usually like this below (Press Ctrl+F and key-in the keyword swap or swappiness for quick search):

on property:ro.config.zram.support=true

setprop sys.vm.swappiness 80

write /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster 0

start zram

4. After finding the code snippet inside the init.rc or equivalent file, edit the setprop sys.vm.swappiness line and edit the default value to 100 which stands for aggressive swap mode. Then save the file.

5. Next, you have to repack the boot.img file back by running the command bootimg.exe --repack-bootimg and the file boot-new.img created.

6. Flash your device with boot-new.img via fastboot with command fastboot flash boot boot-new.img and boot the device.
