[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zynexiz:
Hey.

I just downloaded latest firmware (32.4.A.1.54, Customized NOBA) with Xperifirm, but it just wont flash. I tried downloading it 3-4 times, and also tried Sweden 3's version of it. No luck. The previous FTF I have works thou..

The output i get in FlashTool is (and yes, I have the latest version);

Tried searching for the solution, but just found stuff related to java coding. It seems so be some problem while unpacking the files? Unpacking it manually worked fine though. Anyone have an idea what the heck is wrong?

What version of flashtool are you using? Try rolling back to 0.9.18 version!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrJones:
Strange, I tried to flash a Belgian FTF yesterday and it also failed (failed to process partition.sin)

Also using the latest version of flashtool (because newer is better :rolleyes: )

I'll try to roll back to the previous version...

Kind regards,

I have tried that to, trow the same error. Never had this problem before.

I tried flashing the system.sin file manually with flashtool, but give a size error (don't remember the exact error) and fails.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrJones:
Hi all,

Flashing is still failing.

I'm now using Flashtool 0.9.18.6, but I've got the same results.

Recreated a new FTF-file from the firmware downloaded with the XperiFirm software.

Try downloading another ftf! And have you disabled driver verification? And you should leave flashtool to do its thing! Sometimes it can take a while
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrJones:
... and then, after uninstall version 0.9.18.* and upgrade to the latest version, it's starting to work (lucky me) (relieved)

Thanks for the comments though!

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
Hi, I ran into the same problem and solved it by replacing the offending file by hand (for me it was loader.sin).

It seems to me that the 0.9.24's Bundler is producing invalid FTFs.

I'm wondering now: After uninstalling 0.9.18, did you create another FTF with 0.9.24 or did you use the one produced by 0.9.18?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrJones:
Hi, sorry for the delay.

No, I just kept the original versions

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bertschwert:
Hi, I have the same problem, but could not solve it.

What exactly do you mean by "replacing"? Copy loader.sin from "extracted" to "prepared? Didn't work for me though...

Hi there,

Yesterday phone just turned off and since then there is no way to turn it on. I've managed to download RUU File and ive tried to run it form sd there is a problem :

ibb.co/cnu2DH

ibb.co/cqbcfx

Is there any way to turn s-off from bootload mode? Because there is no way to turn this on so i can turn off it from programmer options

ibb.co/nG3ZSc

I cant post links as a new user so please copy it yourself.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
You need to flash recovery from download not bootloader and you need an unlocked bootloader.

Also you can't flash ruu from recovery, you need to put the file named as 0PJAIMG.zip in the root of your fat32 formatted sdcard and boot in download.

If you need more help you need to boot in download and run "fastboot getvar all" then post the result here(remove imei, sn).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satreb:
Thanks for your advices :)

Is there any way to unlock bootloader when i cant turn on phone?

Did all thing as you said. When I try it it just keeps reseting phone with HTC logo. Ive left phone for almost hour and it was still resetting, nothing other happens.

heres screen ibb.co/iK4qOH
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
No, you need to enable oem unlocking in settings to be able to unlock it.

Your only option is to flash it by ruu.

This is the ruu for your phone: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767124956

Rename it to 0PJA100.zip and put in root of your fat32 formatted sdcard then boot in download and follow onscreen instructions.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satreb:
Well did as you said and problem is the same - when I start it from download mode it just keeps rebooting phone with HTC logo.

Looks like this phone is really dead :( thanks for your support
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
The process completed successfully, without any errors? If so, the nand is most probably dead.

Also you can try the fastboot method to flash, maybe you have some luck...

You need htc_fastboot.exe for this

"fastboot oem rebootRUU"

"fastboot flash zip RUU.zip" - do the command again when/if it asks.

"fastboot reboot" - when the process finish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mhdsweidan:
Then snapdragon S7e have a locked bootloader, is it possible to swap the CPU with an exynos one so we can flash the custom stuff?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
Sure. Find someone who has an Exynos (non-US) Galaxy S7 Edge and is willing to trade. Hand them your phone in exchange for theirs. Done!

Otherwise, no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mhdsweidan:
Means the exynos chipset won't work on my phone, because my friend broke his screen and willing to give his phone ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
These phones aren't meant to be opened period, never mind swapping chips on them. The displays are so integrated into the top-glass that swapping one is essentially swapping half the phone. I haven't seen the motherboard for an Exynos based S7 Edge, but I would imagine the batteries and displays are similar or identical, so you might get lucky and swap the bottom half to fix a broken screen. However, anything other than a gross repair (such as a display or charging port) either isn't doable, or isn't worth the effort. Even then, you have to get through the glass without breaking it. iFixit has a tutorial, but it involves a fair amount of skill and special tools.

If your friend has an otherwise working Exynos S7 Edge with a broken display, and you have a Snapdragon S7 Edge with a working display, you might be able to merge the two into a single working device, but I would suggest finding a skilled technician to do the work.
[Xposed General] Craz Basics:
So im trying to root the stock s7 boot.img (G935U) and so far I've gotten Xposed, Dolby, and a ton of build.prop tweaks. So I obviously disabled all the Knox and TIMA stuff, as well as kap and Selinux.

Now, after flashing eng boot, and running the root.bat (system root, not systemless like usual) it is rooted. Then I flash stock boot.img and all the apps are present, and in SuperSU is says that the SU binary is occupied.

I pulled a logcat and it was a SELinux issue, SELinux being set to Enforcing seems to be preventing root and scripts to run.

So, my question... With Xposed being fully functional, is there any way to set SELinux to permissive with ONLY Xposed, no root?

Thanks for reading, awaiting a response :)

Edit: Forgot this isn't an s7 thread.... Whoops. So let me clerify the eng boot:

The eng boot is what we use to root, it's insecure and adb is insecure, and dm verity is disabled (aside from custom images like twrp, the eng boot is still signed by Sammy) and with it being insecure and no dm verity, we can do about anything we want. Dope right? Well, aside from the horrendous lag and crappy battery life, hence my efforts towards root on stock.
[Xposed General] TENN3R:
From what I know, xposed is more "system-mod-inject", so simple script like selinux changer are not made for xposed, instead they are for magisk.

Just asking: since supersu is slowly dying and magisk growing, why not try with Magisk, which adds/replaces things systemlessly?

I found a guide for your phone: here

Not sure if there is a better method now, but then you will be able to install useful magisk modules + xposed systemless with other useful modules, everything easy to remove or update.

So, no need to set permissive for root. Just saying.
[Xposed General] Craz Basics:
I would definitely try Magisk, but I'm unable to. First and foremost, I don't have the Exynos variant so my bootloader isn't unlockable.

Because of that, I can't flash custom boot/recovery imgs. Magisk modifies the boot.img. I'm able to do some system mods because of a dm-verity "spoof" where it allows system mods on stock. I use eng to flash everything and then flash stock boot again.

Thanks for the reply though :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grauer_Star:
Hello

My xperia Tablet Z 32GB WiFi has cm 12 and cm recovery.

I would like to upgrade to Lineage OS but install TWRP Recovery first.

The boot loader is open but every time I want to flash the img via fastboot I get the error message:

sending 'recovery' (11764 KB) ...

OK [0.378s]

writing 'recovery' ...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.387s

Per app it is also not possible because every time I download an app (to flash the recovery), CM12 crashing (the Tabled freezd)...

In the settings I activated ROOT via ADB + APPs and CM Recovery Update too ....

What can I have forgotten you have an idea ??

Please help

Thank you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found a way !

1. Donwload the TWRP for your device. And copy it next to ADB.exe and Fastboot.exe.

2. Enable in settings: Root for APP+ADB

3. open adb in a cmd

4. Chef if your decice is shown up with: "adb devices"

4a. maybe you must acept it per OK Button on your device

5. boot in Bottloader: " adb reboot bootloader"

6. check if fastboot show your device: "fastboot device"

7. now : "fastboot flash boot ******TWRP.IMG NAME***** "

8. w8 a short time unplugg the usb cable.

9. Press the PowerButton.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
The first attempt was unsuccessful, because Sony devices until recent, don't have recovery partition.

So trying "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.IMG NAME" will result in error, mentioned by you.

You can use Rashr to flash recovery from working android. No need to mess with adb/fastboot.

[General Questions and Answers] MartinFriis:
Hey, guys.

I have just rooted my phone and I deleted bloatware and Google Play Store. My reason for this is that I spend WAY too much time online on my phone which I want to limit - therefore I have deleted both the Chrome Browser and Google Play Store (so I can't just go in and download Chrome again) and as stated above some bloatware.

However I have found out that my Gmail and other apps will not work without Google Play Store installed. I even tried to download and install the newest version of Google Play-Services without Play Store and it doesn't work. If I then install Google Play Store and Google Play-Services it all works.

So my question is this: is there a way to have Google Play-Services work without Google Play Store? Some of the apps are kind of important and I can't just replace them with another similar app. My hope is to be able to use all apps without Play Store installed.

Kind regards

Martin
[General Questions and Answers] Taritz:
Can't you just download it from APKMirror? So just sideload the apk. Should work, although I haven't tried it.

[Wing, P4350 General] asctony:
Downloaded and installed the Shut Down Cab on my Wing. The three options are:

1. Light Off

2. Shut Down (Does not Power Off, only turns off screen?)

3. Soft Reset

My question is: Should Shut Down turn the Power Off? If not, what is the purpose of this compare to Light Off?

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 General] ElProempie:
Press any key if you press Lights off. You'll see that your phone is still on but just with the lights off.

Shutdown is like when you press your power button on the top.

Soft reset, well... speaks for itself.
[Wing, P4350 General] asctony:
Thank you. Apparently Shutdown and Lights off do the same thing for me as I can touch any key after using either one and the phone works as if it were Lights off.

Maybe I don't see the purpose of them as being separate functions.
[Wing, P4350 General] le_hades:
Check "keyboard lock" (more or less.. my wing rom is in spanish) under configuration - system and make sure it's set to "block all buttons except power button" if not, every button will power on your device after shutdown, making it look like turning the lights on.

Hope works for you.
[Wing, P4350 General] asctony:
Yes, that is correct. That is why I said that both options are doing the same thing. I would have thought that one would Power Off.

Again, thank you for your input. I do appreciate it.

Hi members,i want to upgrade from samsung s7 edge to s8 + but am a bit confused about the dual curved edges. Which one has a really and true curved display the s8 or still the s7 edge? Thanks for any replay. Sorry for my bad english.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BillyGrls:
I have the s8 and it has curved edges but less than the s7 edge....I have to say though that it feels better than the s7 cause a friend has it and i compared them. The s7 edge was sharper at the sides, due to the bigger curve it was easier to accidently press something on the edges and viewing content was kinda annoying at the sides because of shining at the edges. That said i believe the s8 is much better than the s7 edge. More comfortable because it is rounder at the sides and more usable. Hope i helped

I used custom ROM on my Moto z for a while.

After that I flashed stock ROM and relocked bootloader and sold the phone to some Indian guy.

Next day he wanted his money back because phone is showing imei 0.

He also threatened me with police because this is illegal.

So is it possible to restore imei or should I just throw the phone away?

Bootloader is showing the proper imei, the same imei that is printed on sim tray. but in the phone it shows 0
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] STALKERok:
Yes, you can flash any custom oreo ROM from development sector and it will appear again. IMEI 0 is a bug, that came if you will flash Oreo ROM with bootloader upgrading and then back to stock 7.1.1. I'm issuing same problem now. But tell you buyeer to don't worry - in real you IMEI for cellular is correct, it's only software bug that it shows as "0".

And another one way to fix:

1. Flash custom OREO ROM

2. Backup your EFS partition via TWRP (it's about 4MB size)

3. Flash latest 7.1.1 official with RSD Lite

4. Flash TWRP

5. Restore you EFS partition, which you backuped earlier

6. IMEI will show correctly now

Hope you understood my English :)
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] knjigo:
Thanks, I'm gonna try that. I actually intend to flash stock ROM again
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] STALKERok:
