hello everybody anyone can help me to put my phone back on service i will donate,i brought my phone from singapore via internet but after i update via OTA my phone died and it not reboot anymore then i read in here and download the Bin4ry file for flashtool, after flashing my phone come back and its booting now but the problem is it show no sevice and insert sim card even the sim was inserted
You should also say that you had UNLOCKED the bootloader and then tried to do some other kinds of flashing with fastboot, only then you tried later to update FOTA, then it bricked your phone.
Anyway, I think you should read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
And I think that since you have mentioned you tried everything, you have to read the above thread and follow the instructions therein very carefully and correctly - hopefully you will get it working and buy me and the creator of the process coffees too.
Appended edit:
Hey, I had got Bin4ry's attention for you here, so please follow up with him or others if you really really want people to help you - help yourself too.

Bin4ry,
You wrote this in some other thread, you said:
"
If you do the trick with flashin simlock.ta as preset.ta you completely damage your Simlock Partiton! You now need to resign it for getting it working again, this can only be done @ SE or by pay Servers on the internet.
So sorry, no way for you to recover in this forums.
The OP is just for people who do not used other recovery tries to get the phone working. It will fix phone completely from dead state, if you already got it working without sim-detection you messed too much. :/"
Is this still true? Meaning, if this is done, there is no hope with any kind of procedure?
better reflash it with stock rom via flashtool

EDIT : Ok... It's magical, now that I posted this, I just get to root my phone... I found a new thread on a french website. In fact the only thing I changed from the other tries I made is that I started from the unbranded, generic 2.3.2 french firmware flashed thanks to Flashtool and then used GingerBreak (It took a few minutes, 10-15 mins.) to root, now I'm updating via OTA.
For those who want to try this way, here's the firmware.
Sorry for the useless post :/
Hi,
It's been a while I try to root my device, flashing it many times unsuccessfully to get the right rom, but no way.
I tried many ways to do it, following step by step many topics, used GingerBreak, SuperOneClick, anything I found, but nothing worked.
However I remember that some time ago, I did it and got root on my device, so why isn't it working now ?
Could someone help me ?
Thanks
Mate, it's all good that you managed to get root on your device but I don't know why you needed to look up another website. All the info you required has been available on XDA for ages.
A helpful tip - use the Search. You could have found the solution ages back and you wouldn't have to open a new thread for this. Sigh!

OK guys, yeah I'm new and hoping I don't get flamed for asking some questions.
Details: Unlocked Xperia arc (LT18I) Loaded LT18a_4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware thru flash tool
Now everything seemed fine until a ota update came up. Being unaware that ota updates can brick phones with unlocked boot loaders I happily updated the phone. Much to my dismay I quickly found that my phone was useless now. After much searching I found a ota update fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
So I couldn't download the file, something about that I was not in the right region UGH. So I tried something else. Some more reading and I thought that the boot loader was damaged some how. So I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 Tried to relock the boot loader, Don't know if its relocked or not now. Tried to Update firmware thru SE update service, tells me firmware is already up to date. Tried to repair phone thru PCC, tells me that there's no software for the phone. So now I'm stuck and not sure of what to do next. Any help would be great and much appreciated. At this point I just want the phone to work again.
FYI: LEDs are still working if that matters and will not start up are all. And when the power is press I get a single green flash.
Success. Thank you guys/gals so much. I can not describe how happy I am now that the phone is unbricked.
And all I had to do was look deeper into the FAQ. Thanks so much guys/gals

Can anyone provide a fully nooby-proofed tutorial for the entire flashing process for this awesome tablet?
I got mine some days ago, i found some infos about the rooting in google, but about the flashing I found almost nothing, except the required files for download.
I know now that there are a few ways to flash a rom, with odin, to put the device into recovery mode and with ??twrp??
Please guys could you make that ? I am sure there are also other people with the same questions here.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hey!
Im pretty new into this subject about rooting and install custom Roms to your phone on android but i was thinking i should give it a try!
I have succesfully unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what i shall do next. I want to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/xperia-z1c-resurrection-remix-lollipop-t2996231[/url]
What shall i do first? Ive tried reading a couple of guys but i dont really know what i shall do next, as far as i know you should unlock the bootloader (already done) and then root the phone (i've read this guide and it seems quite good: http://techchomps.com/root-14-4-a-0-157-android-4-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-z1-z1-compact-and-z-ultra/) and then i can install a custom rom? Shouldn't you install a custom recovery like clockworkmod first? When and how do i install that?
Im currently at firmware 14.4.a.0.157 btw.
I have understood that you might brick you device if you do this and that's the last thing i want too do, as im studying student i dont really have enough money for a new phone/reparation.
I hope i dont seem to confusing to you
Thanks in advance!

this is all you need, read it carefully
p.s. i hope you backuped your DRM-keys before you unlocked your bootloader, otherwise they went away and never come back...

There is a sticky thread dedicated to your needs Z1 Compact Resource Thread -|-Rooting-BL Unlocking-Firmware & More...
Don't use guides from any other place as they sometimes leave out important information.
If you read (and read again) the guides, go slowly, then there is no chance you will damage your phone.
I hope you made a backup of your TA partition.

Hey!
Yeah i saw that thread and as i read, he seemed to link this guide for the root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/root-14-4-0-157-lb-ubl-t2933298
The thing i find strange is that is says D690X devices but my Z1C is D5503 will that still work if they are on the same firmware at the moment? One guy said so in the thread but i just wanted to ask you guys about it.

Thanks alot!
Ive successfully rooted the phone and everything seems to work fine with that!
The thing is that i was going to install recovery now and i thought i could use the guide provided by the author of the thread you linked before which is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
As i downloaded the recovery and installed it said it was succesfull but i cant seem to get into recovery. The guide also said that the device should reboot after the installtion, which it didnt! I ran install.bat with the phone on, not in flashmode or anything. Was i doing anything wrong? I installed the recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ in the XZDualRecovery section, not the kernal section. Should i also install the kernal Recovery? Im confused

shutdown your device!
At boot, once you feel the phone vibrate and while you see the green led burn:
- press VOL-UP for PhilZ Touch;
- press VOL-DOWN for TWRP.
- flash the custom rom you want (but copy the zip to your extSD card before)

Ive tried that but i dont get into recovery. Do i need to have a extSD card before install the recovery? I also dont see any green led burning. I feel the phone vibrate shortly after i pressed and hold the power button, but no green led.
When i installed the recovery i had the phone powered on, was that right? It said in the guide it would restart but it didn't.
I dont think ext card is necessary, it is rather option.
Question:
Did you install both zips - installer and flashable?
If yes - I'd try other version.
I recently bought a new HTC One M9 from Ebay brand new, the listing said it was unlocked and gsm. Unfortunately this was not true, so when i finally got it I had to unlock it myself which i managed but i went further and wanted to root my phone, as far as rooting after the step to install Team Win Recovery Project, I followed this tutorial: (youtube.com/watch?v=rOHN8byHAzk&t=941s) and basically im like all the other guys who have their phone stuck in bootloader loop, i've tried the RUU exe's from HTC they end up giving me a "Signagure" (spelt that way) error so i cant use that, i've cycled through multiple micro sd cards to try get the stock os to install in the download boot. i've getting roms they dont work and the loop just continues. Im lost guys...and heartbroken with a new uselss phone...IM WILLING TO PAY(within reason) anyone that can help me to get my phone back to normal.
The phone was from USA under Sprint, I tested my GSM network when I had it unlocked and it worked, I dont care if I can only get it back on Sprint, I just want it working again. Again I'm willing to Pay the person via PayPal to Help me out.
Thank you. you can contact me at [email protected]
Never ever follow video tutorials. They're outdated as soon as they get uploaded.
Depending on the firmware version of your phone you need different files for rooting your M9. That's why you ended up with a bootloop. The video doesn't give you that information.
Take a look at the ReadMe thread. It should explain all you need to know and contains all files you might need for recovering your phone.

THank you for replying im still busy looking for help on how to do this, I stand by my promise i will PayPal anyone that can help me save my device, I consider myself tech efficient in general, im just new to android - this is my first andeoid.
As said before, just look at the ReadMe thread. A bootloop isn't the end of the world. There's no need to pay anyone at this point since all files and information you need are available for free.
