New error........

when the phone come to bootloader screen restart update utility, if don't work use hardspl....

hi,
have you unlock CID?

same here
Hi,
I got the same problem, exactly the same error when i want to flash lvsw rom.
1. I superCID it (twice)
2. I updated using hard-SPL but everytime i get the same error code: 246 device not responding.
I tried reconnecting, resetting, with and without sim, but it all doesn't seem to work.
When I downloaded a shipped rom with GPS enabled, all went well...
Is there some kind of trick involved, or does it just not work for my p3600?
Thanx in advance,
Geert

@ kayzee
if you start hard-SPL and it opens the hard-SPL window, before you click next etc. open up lvsw rom updater and click next etc. in the lvsw updater.
I guess your Trinity thinks its hard-SPL but in fact ur flashing lvsw rom on ur Trinity

edit: please delete this message

same problem same procedure:;
when the first flash fail click exit and (w/o do anything) restart ruUpdate.exe or before do the update push and hold camera button and do a soft reset (holding camera button) when the phon is in "3 colors mode" start the update

The way it worked for me was to flash it while it was up and running as the software send's you into bootloader mode and then let's you flash ok. This way works for me.

I have problem!
After rom upgrade for cid unlock, the process stoped at 80% then phone now is freeze!
When i try to start up it it freeze on sfr logos! I've tried several times to repeat process rom upgrade for cid unlock but soft start qo at 7% an phone restart and same thing with original rom or sfr rom. Nothing to do it's died!
Please help me

have you tried to flash hard spl to your phone first? then try to flash another rom.
if not, follow the instructions here to use splxploit, then flash hard spl, then another rom

That didn't work for me. Does anyone know what to do yet?

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I have followed the indication of this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957
1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-TRIN.exe to your phone and run it
2. Tri-color screen will appear
3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
5. Run RUU/ROMUpgradeUtility.exe
6. Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)
7. Allow your phone to reboot.
8. Transfer TRIN_Unlock_v1.exe program to your phone and run it
9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.
10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.
11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.
I hope of to have been useful, I have resolved therefore

Sorry for bothering you,
I had a problem while flashing a Rom. Now my trinity is dead. It only appears the "HTC smart mobility", symbol with some red little numbers at the bottom of the page.
Is there something I still can do my self or should I run to service assistance?
Obviously it doesn't connect to active sync.
Please just give me a hint....

Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

you really should read more before you try to flash..
the wiki defines all of these terms that you aren't understanding.
manually place in bootloader by holding power button + camera button + soft reset.
You can download hard-spl(makes phone look like CID unlocked, does not void warranty and allows you to flash unsigned ROMs) in Trinity Upgrading forum, and also SuperCID tool (unlocks your phone to use ROMs from any carrier, but voids warranty). SuperCID is unnecessary in my opinion
please follow the upgrade guides on my site if you're confused. For now, Place your device in bootloader, and flash hard-spl, then the ROM of your choice. Follow the hard-spl guide on my site for details and download links.
hope it helps

But I still have a doubt. Because it says "Make sure the activesync icon is be green (finished synchronizing)" . But as I've already said, it seems that my pda doesn't connect at all.
Please, help me. probably I'm close to the solution. Sorry for bothering you!

Anyway I've tried the following:
Downloaded the DES CRASH PROOF SPL.
Connected my Trinity to my pc.
The active sync doesn't extablish a connection. No green light.
Put the PDA in bootloader mode manually
run the spl
After a few clicks, the program on the pc says: ERROR [270] The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

I tried to flash the official WM5 and now it's ok. It works fine with it. Can I try again to flash the unofficial WM6 rom from the forum now?
thanx !

My Xperia Arc wont boot up, need help!!!!

Hey, I'm new here. I have a Sony ericsson arc that is rooted and unlocked bootloader. I downloaded a room that I installed via recorvery mode. I did just like how it was done, but I think something went wrong.
I turned on my cell phone after the installation but the phone will not turn on. The only thing that shows up is the Sony Ericcson logo. The mobile phone will not charge, and when I insert the USB cable that comes up the logo. If not turned off the phone unless I take out the battery. I do not know what to do.
I think I have to flash the firmware oginale, but do not know where I can find it and I'm really not sure. Appreciate all the comments that will help me and my Xperia arc. Sorry for my bad english!

Do you know the name of the rom?
It might be helpful to myself and other users if you tell us the name of the rom, if it was a "CM7" "CM9" or "CM10" rom, you will need to flash a different kernel for it to boot. There are also other methods of fixing it, such as flashing an ftf in flashtool, or a different rom.
First, tell us the name of the rom, and I will try to help more from there
Hope I can help!

Actully, i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657848 !!

Your problem is probably your kernel, you may have tried to use an ICS ROM with a GingerBread Kernel
Do a search on "ArcKnight Kernel" I recommend it
I'll help you some more when I get on my computer tomorrow if you need it

I tried searching the ArcKnight Kernel but can not find where my problem can be solved by ArcKnight Kernel .. + I will not do anything stupid, because I'm not too familiar with rooms, kernel, etc..
I would rather wait for a response from you in the morning, and still looking for solution ..

HI,
You have to flash the Arcknight or stock(ICS 4.0.4) kernel first using flashtool (trhough fastboot==>install kernel), after that you can install your chosed Room like that one in your post, because you may made mistake installing the Room with a wrong Kernel, it's happened to most of pepeole, like me

How to flash a kernel
What kupuku says is correct
HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL
STEP 1 - Picking a kernel:
Download the kernel you want to use, as I said, I recommend "ArcKnight" you can download this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24807655&postcount=2
The files you need to get are
Main Kernel OverClocked CPU - ArcKnight Kernel_RC_3.5.1_OC_TEST
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
Wifi and Zram Modules for Kernel - ArcKnight_Kernel_RC_3.5.1_Wifi_Module
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 2 - A program that will help:
I find the easiest way to flash a new kernel is to use this program called QuikIMG
Which you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23714241&postcount=1
STEP 3 - How to setup QuikIMG:
So you have the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
and you have "QuikIMG" EXTRACTED
1)Go to the folder where you extracted QuikIMG to and open the folder called "images":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Drag the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img" into the folder called images - so it looks like this:
3) Go back to the QuikIMG folder and open up QuikIMG and select "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
4) You will then need to connect your phone in "Fastboot mode"
To do this you need to:
1) Connect your usb to the computer but NOT the phone
2) Turn your phone off
3) Hold down the menu button (the one on the right at the bottom)
4) Connect your usb cable to the phone
5) There should be a blue light on the side of your phone, this is when you know it is connected and QuikIMG should look like this:
5) If QuikIMG says "Connected" all that is left to do is to press "Flash" and then remove the cable and turn your phone on
EXTRA:
If your WiFi does not work when you turn your phone on, you will need to flash the zip file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip"
You do this by putting the "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip" on your SD card and using recovery to flash it
Hope this helps somehow! any other questions on anything, let me know!

Good evening!
I did like you said, but but the flashing failed because it says that my phone is not rooted!
Im pretty sure that my phone was rooted, i used Titanium backup, superuser.. I could use apps which requied rooted phone!
Thanks for any kind of solusion!

Did QuikIMG display your phone as "Connected" ?

Yes, it says that its connected! Shold the partition of flash be on ''boot''? becase it is on boot.

Yes it should be on boot, don't ever change that
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
What does QuikIMG say, can you copy and paste the text?
Also try different usb ports and restarting your computer

I tried flashing after restaring my computer, but didn't make any changes.. same problem

That is an error that occurs from not having an unlocked bootloader
If you want to unlock your bootloader then there are a few ways you can do it
I personally used these instructions
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But there are other ways to, but it is your decision on if you unlock it and how you unlock it
I personally recommend you do unlock it however to get full access to all ROMs for the Arc S

Finally made it
yes! I managed to fix the problem in the end! I downloaded the original firmware to Xperia arc (LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf) and flashed it using the program flash tool 9 The phone is now my life again, and that's all I care about!
Of course, I lost all my apps, contact and everything but the phone will survive and that is what I care most about!
I appreciate all the answers that have come to help me, and I hope people who have the same problem with help from this post.
A big thanks to Jack who has used his time to help me and others who are in the same situation I was in. Thank you, everyone!

ASUS Zenfone 5 root for WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware

​
This is rooting script only for ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00F/T00J) with official WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware.
Upgrading will unroot your phone.
If you want to have rooted lollipop, find another rooting solution.
8. April 2017 note: I don't use anymore this phone and I can't help with questions. Rooting method should still works. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If this rooting solution doesn't work, probably you're doing some wrong. There's several thousand people (or more) from around the world which successfully rooted and fixed theirs phones. If you have any questions or problem - please read first whole thread. I'm trying answer all questions and I place the most popular in first post.
Rooting script
Read manual
Download rooting script
I want to share my work. I created github repository - feel free to fork etc.
Simple FAQ and tips
Want more help?
Video tutorial by Majci8
Older version of firmware
Do you have older version of firmware? Update it and apply rooting script.
Download official firmware (select android -> firmware, and search site with phrase WW_2.22.40.54)
Newer version of firmware
I actually doesn't like lollipop and I don't provide any support for rooting newer android. Probably there are available other solutions. At this moment the 2.22.40.54 version is the newest kitkat for Asus Zenfone 5.
"No camera is found" bug
Do you have "no camera is found" problem? This script fixes this. I spend few long days to fixing "no camera is found" bug after applying shakalacka's rooting script. And I GOT IT! I mixed shakalaca and Vipin Arumugham solutions. Thank you guys!
How update firmware by sideload method?
Boot your phone to recovery mode.
When "No command" message appears, press and hold down volume button, and press once (still holding down volume) up volume button. You are now in recovery menu.
Select apply update from ADB.
Connect phone by USB cable to your computer.
Run from terminal: adb sideload new-firmware.zip
Note: you can sideload only firmware with the same or higher version. Firmware can be downgraded too, but this is little more complicated.
Unroot
Eh, really? Why do you want to unroot your phone? Use sideload method to apply firmware again (yes, with the same version). This will format your /system partition and install whole android system again.
Thanks for every mentioned person! Your comments, messages and other help is really great!

Yes, you need reboot to bootloader.
If you're on linux, just run .sh script and it will do everything for you. There's manual for other system.

Hi, thank you for this solution..
there's a chance that it could work also with 2.21.40.44? I think that most most people with this problem has the same firmware...

The reason is that with the previous root... you are not able to upgrade
Just tried this morning :good: :good:
With the old root tool you are not able to:
-make an hard reset
-upgrade to the new firmware
if you try comes out an error...

Finally, you are golden.

Rooted Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo after OTA Update

Hi there,
The phone is rooted.
I've proceeded with the latest update today (~12mb size), don't remember the exact version.
It said it fixes some system bugs, etc.
After the update installed the phone won't load, stucks on the changing color logo.
Cannot access the recovery mode option in the boot menu (Vol+Power), says "no command", if press and hold Vol+ and Power again the phone restarts and enter the boot logo again.
Has anyone ideas how this can be fixed?

Post #16 describes how get into recovery from the 'no command' screen, and my post #12 describes how I managed to get it flashed using the SP Flashtool.
(Note my point no,5 - all I needed to do is press 'Download' first, THEN attach the powered off phone.)
Good luck!

do you think this can be fixed w/o reflashing an entire rom?

Oooh. Brighter minds than mine might correct me, but I think the bootloop is only fixed with a ROM flash

Actually, what you need to do is format the data partition or write the empty data.img file over the data partition which in effect does the same thing. And the later one is also what happens when your download entire rom using sp flash.

I've proceeded with "wipe data/factory reset" option - no effect...or are we talking about different things?

In that case you probably need to flash the system.img and maybe even the boot.img from the latest rom. Elephone really should stop sending out these broken OTAs...

You belive this b***** that feed you on official forum? OTA should work on any device software config.

I didn't read official forum. However you do loose your warranty if device is rooted, thus the device manufacturer owes you nothing. OTA worked fine before I rooted my device.
Btw, I got my phone back to life by re-flashing the entire ROM, just in case.

Hello my friend

Hi there,
The phone is rooted.
I've proceeded with the latest update today (~12mb size), don't remember the exact version.
It said it fixes some system bugs, etc.
After the update installed the phone won't load, stucks on the changing color logo.
Cannot access the recovery mode option in the boot menu (Vol+Power), says "no command", if press and hold Vol+ and Power again the phone restarts and enter the boot logo again.
Has anyone ideas how this can be fixed?

The only thing you need to do is reinstall the añl the system with spflashtool. Never and remember never you can update any android with a ota if you are a rooted user.
If you speak spanish you can search in the youtube channel AndroidMxL to ser how you can reinstall the original ROM on your android.

Already did, thanks. Will never combine Root and OTA together again

Bricked G4 h815, bootloader locked after flashing a new ROM

Hello, today i flashed one of the new nougat stock roms. The first boot was fine, everything worked perfectly . But after rebooting I've got the "your device is corrupt. it cannot be trusted and it may not work properly" message, and it wont boot anymore. I cant go into recovery and i cant go into download mode because i get the same the same message and the phone reboots. i can only access the fastboot mode for bootloader unlock, and apparently that my bootloader is now locked. So I've tried to unlock the bootloader again, but it says "Wrong Bootloader Unlock key". Anyone has any idea?

I have the exact same problem and to be honest I think we are f*****. I haven't found any way to re-unlock the bootloader since it seems that the unlock.bin doesn't match with the Device-ID anymore.

This is an IMEI problem. It goes to 0, so the unlock.bin no longer works. I also had this message but my phone was still booting. So I was able to solve the problem.
But you, you can not start your phone, so I do not know how to fix your problem. Sorry

No it isn't an IMEI problem, I can reboot my phone and I can access the download mode to flash a KDZ which I did.
EDIT: Oh but I just see in the settings that my IMEI indeed turned into a zero... I do have a TWRP backup of my IMEI.
I quess it's a better idea to make my own G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting thread for help.

I reply in your topic

Hhmm maybe you aren't totally lost, you can access Fastboot mode right, so how have you tried to access the Download mode? You pressed the Volume up button and connected your device with a USB?
It seems you have the same problem as I had, your IMEI turned into a "0", that's why your unlock.bin fails to flash. Just try to access the Download mode for a couple of times, maybe with a but of luck it wil boot into Download mode eventually.

Is there a way to change imei on nougat? Because i cant go in download mode to downgrade to mm

Having the same issue. Cant enter on download or recovery. Fking sht

I've tried like 20 times already, unfortunately it reboots almost instantly.

We all have the same problem at this point I know that we either hold the smartphone so or we send it to assistance but considering that it is not covered by warranty do not know how long it is

I don't even know if they are gonna repair it, and if they do, we will need to pay I guess, I don't how much.

Same to me

Try this method to live your download mode - https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...lcomm-t3452853

You can try a last attempt before you give up if you can not fix it: write an email to [email protected] explains the problem that you've updated to nougat beta and now your bootloader has re-locked and your imei is set on 0 and so the unlock.bin file does not work, try to see if they send you a working one, yesterday I wrote the email and they also answered me asking for more info but I have now solved the problem. Attach the device id and a photo of the back of the phone where the imei is written. Try it
