☆☆EDIT☆☆

You must change the storage to SD card and "let the system decide" in preferences on initial fieat boot or you will get a soft reboot when installing any app for the first time it can be changed back after if wanted

Also all other MT6572 nand devices that are not an R11 max chinaphone flash only the android file in firmware first with download only to see if will boot (give it 5 or so minutes) and dont forget to take a partition information table backup to change to your addessses in the scatter of this firmware if no boot do a full flash with download only option again allow 5 minutes to boot dont forget to change addresses and lengths also to match your partition info.

Take a firmware backup also, NCK_MTK dongle can obtain the PIT info, backup your firmware and userdata also and has a variety of other usefull finctions such as formatting & network unlocking & imei and baseband backups aswell

Attention all users of R11 max,

New build will be up in a week maximum, Google play is functional, and has been completely rebuilt, i have also built a custom recovery for this model R11_Max however wont be released until the new rom is released.

Thread will be updated here with new links when its ready.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
New rom is not far away now for the R11 MAX im just finishing up some minor touchups in the meantime i have built a number of custom recoveries for the phones due to 1 there not being any available at all for it & 2 all recovery porting tools do not work with this phone so manually built a number of different styles,versions etc theres TWRP, CTR, CWM, etc even an OPPO touch recovery even that i also managed to build :D enjoy,

Note all R11 max users,

A new rom will be released for this device by me in the near future when released it is advised to update to the latest build, modded with CM but stock 4.4.4 unfortunately that is all i am able to upgrade it to, 6.0 build i am scrapping for now i can get 6.0 apps to install but they just will not run most not at all,

Another note though ive managed to modify the boot.img some more to swap not only the data from

"ubifs" "UBI" "userdata" "/data" to

"Ext4 "EMMC" "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.1/by-num/p2 (EXTERNAL SD)

but also system from

"ubifs" "UBI" "system" "/system" to

"ext4" EMMC" "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" "/system" (SDCARD)

Not sure if i can get a rom functional to boot from it but TWRP recognises it aswell as mounts & formats it correctly, some useful info incase anyone else wants to give it a go also
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

Youve got the R10

In which i dont have one of those unfortunately, when you flashed the wrong firmware did you flash PRELOADER, UBOOT & BOOT ?

if so youve deffo messed it up,

Im assuming you didnt take a firmware backup first either ? If you did flash it back with SP flash tool if you didnt then i wont be able to help you i dont think unless by some miracle they both use the exact same kernel, either way i have 3 R11 firmwares

2 are ubifs NAND firmwares for the R11 max & the 3rd is an ext4 eMMC for R11 im happy to upload the UBOOT, PRELOADER & BOOT files from all 3 to see if you can get some life back into the device as they are all made from the same chinese manufacturer.

If you can get the device to at least turn on to the boot screen then after flash then the files are good you can then flash the ANDROID, CACHE & USRDATA from my firmwares here on xda and it should come back to life as i have tested this on the R11 EMMC i flashed my UBIFS system.img to the device & worked no problem,

system size also does not matter as long as the ANDROID file is not bigger than your system partition so that should also be fine,

You should never ever flash another devices preloader, uboot or boot.img as the kernels are compiled differently on each device in most cases,

If you cant get any power to the device to flash then take the backing off and take all the screws out take the backing off and look for a series of 4 -6 gold circular points.

These are called test points plug the device in and start the flash on pc then touch all the points with your finger you should now hear the VCOM connect to the device and flash the files youve loaded into SP

#edit ive just looked at your partition info you have the exact same layout as the R11 MAX ubifs models i have so ill upload the boot.img, preloader & uboot from my 2 variations for nand as both have different kernels so hopefully one will work for you & get power back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arakawa@plat:
Hello Matty1993,

Thank you very much for your reply!

It was good to find out my device name, R10!

>did you flash PRELOADER, UBOOT & BOOT ?

Yes,sir. I formatted all without taking any backup! I'm foolish..:(

>ill upload the boot.img, preloader & uboot from my 2 variations for nand as both have different kernels so hopefully one will work for you & get power back.

Thank you for your kindness,I wanna try it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

No worries at all,

For future references on your mtk devices it is always advisable to take a firmware backup using SP Flash tool you can do this by entering the readback menu or by using MTK nck dongle there is a free version in which works quite well which outputs the pulled files directly into there segregated partitions eg preloader, uboot, boot, secro,usrdata,system,cache files aswell as generating a scatter ready to be loaded into SP flash tool great program i use it all the time,

Anyhow give me 5-10mins & ill upload both of my variations of the R11 boot preloaders & uboot as youll need to flash them all to get rid of the other ones both have diff kernels as i mentioned so give them both a try and see how you go,

Let me know if they dont work also as i can ask a few people to see if maybe they have one they can pull a backup from.

#edit my google drive isnt working ill upload as soon as it is

[Miscellaneous Android Development] arakawa@plat:
Hello Matty1993,

Thank you for your time and ROMs.

I flashed them and my device got power back with ZMA_12_MB.

I'm very happy to see NOT black screen!!:)

I took pictures.

I don't know the boot screen is working or freezing.

The title logo is 'boost mobile' and there are vertical stripes and flickling a little.

Anyway,I got advance a little! Thank you,again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

Your device isnt R10 yours is R11 ZMA Variant ive confirmed this by looking at the pics youve provided,

The logo will look like that due to either 2 things the firmware or logo is still on the device,

1 either the logo is to small or to big for the device causing the lines, or 2 the firmware you flashed is using a diff LCD driver,

Give me a bit when i get home from work ill upload a full firmware for the ZMA_12_MB variant for you, its not the best but once ive finished on the R11_HS_Q6_MB firmware ill be doing the ZMA_12_MB after, the firmware ill be uplaoding is somewhat modified however,

Also did you know that there a storage fix available for these R11, all it requires is a modified boot.img which im happy to do now i know the zma12 kernel is your model for sure, & a decent class 10 sd card with an ext4 partition on it, ive already got a modified boot.img for the hsq6 variant i made a 14GB ext4 partition now data is 14GB instead of 20MB lol no lag at all or anything due to the sd being class10
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arakawa@plat:
Hello Matty1993,

Thank you for your informative insight.

I'm happy to hear that my device may revive and also transform to a practical device!:good:

I'm look forward to flashing your firmware!!:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate sorry i couldnt get the firmware up for you last night having troubles with PC being slow reinstalling windows on it now and ill get the FW up for you as soon as its booted up as its all stored on my 2TB external HD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate wow didnt realise it been 3 days will have the firmware up for you today some time 100% been doing some modifications to it as i didnt realise how crap the OS was still, ive also modified a stock boot.img aswell as a modifed storage boot.img with CM sources and im just about finished making the OS look a bit better, still gonna look bad as it was a quick job but it will be alot better than what it was before until i get around to properly building the firmware for the zma variant,

Ill update this post with the link soon as its uploaded sorry again for the wait mate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arakawa@plat:

Pls don't worry about making me wait.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

Link will be up soon for you firmwares uplaoding to google drive still needs work but ive redone quite a bit considering what it used to look like youll see anyhow, some of the stuff ive done is modded the camera app & gallery app to run on 4.4, modded system to run cyanogenmod trebuchet launcher, redone the settings & dropdown and also built a setupwiz for it aswell which you will see,

I will finish it up after im done with the HS_Q6 variant, if theres anything majorly wrong with calls or anything etc let me know and ill get it sorted,

I cant test the ril as these are 2G network handsets, Australia dosent have 2G network anymore but it should be all good i know what im doing

## EDIT ##

Link for firmware is here,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ix-k9Myjt1Mc9Rs36wQgRHXuQtU58Pwg/view?usp=drivesdk

Theres a readme id strongly suggest to read it before flashing as theyre are some extra files i have added, also the flash layout is very diff from normal MTK firmwares for 6572 as ive modifed most partitions already just never got around to the theming side of things on the zma variants

Anyhow let me know how you go

Following are the possible solution for this issue:

1- clear cache and memory of software update App from application setting.

2- if first method fails then rest all phone data and try .

3- if both mention methods are not working then you have to go with E-recovery , this works for me.

To boot into eRecovery, make sure you have connected your device to a power source and then press the Volume + button and Power button at the same time.

[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] DonAndress:
Hello.

I have Sony Xperia XA1 with latest official Android and I have difficulties connection it to either PC or pendrive.

I tried the original Sony cable which usually is used for charging - nothing, PC doesn't see the phone, phone only charges, no option to choose between charging/file transfer.

USB options in Android settings are grayed out.

I tried a Sandisk pendrive with USB type-C and phone can see something in the USB, gives me an option to choose whether to charge or transfer files and other two options. I choose file transfer but phone doesn't see this pendrive, kind of resets the options and let's me choose charge/file transfer over and over again. Pendrive is perfectly ok, works well on two other phones and PC.

What do I have to try / change in the settings to force it to work?
