Xperia Pro MK16i 0.62

Hi I have updated to the most recent firmware, 0.62a and the phone has not been rooted or modded in anyway before.
Is it still the case that I need to downgrade the firmware to root the phone?
Thanks for any help in advance

Try to flash this file (below) in CWM. it should work.
But remember about BACKUP!

I downloaded the file you attached thanks and downloaded ROM Manager on my phone but it says O clicked on CWM Recovery and it says I must install it manually to proceed.
Sorry im a noob to this, so just want to make sure I get it right

here i found easier method - without using reovery and .zip:

HOW TO ROOT​
Start Flashtool
Connect the device to the computer and wait until it's recognized
Click the icon with the "Padlock [the second in a row]
FT will start pushing files, wait till it finishes. Meanwhile the phone will reboot once.
{
"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"
}
When it's over Flashtool will notify "Root Access Allowed"
Open the application list on the phone and look for the app "Superuser"
If "Superuser" is there you have Rooted your device successfully.
Congrats!

Linux Tool by szoke12 (Android)

Linux Tool by szoke12​
Hi everyone!
I made a small tool for linux. It doesn't supports all of devices, but many yes.
Please use it just for your own risk!
It's just a script, but it has more options:
-monitoring device informations
-root android phone (2.0, 2.1, 2.2)
-install recovery image (not all device!) I tested it on Huawei U8160.
-unroot the device (on many device)
-reboot phone to normal or recovery mode.
-root, recovery install and reboot - Please use it, just if you are placed the files to the good place, and you are sure!!!
-if you connected more device to your pc, the program will ask to choose device.
-backup/restore downloaded apps (just the apps, not the data - may be later)
-install one or more apk
-the program contains an advanced menu with some function.
Install:
0) Connect the device, and turn on the "USB debugging" option
1) Download the zip file
2) Unzip to anywhere
3) Start a Terminal and change to the extracted folder ("Linux-Tool_by_szoke12")
4) cd Linux-Tool_by_szoke12
5) chmod 755 tool.sh
6) ./tool.sh
7) Use!
Tested on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 12.04, 12.10, Mint 11.
First the program downloads the needed files, and the starts.
Here is a screenshot:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download: LINK
(This is the 0.5 version of the program. I developed it since the previous year.)
Enjoy!
If you can use it, or have problem or idea, please write feedback.
And press a "THANKS" button!
And sorry for the language... I don't speak English so well...

How to disable System Update notifications

Hey guys,
Big thanks to @autoprime for mentioning this info on this in the general G4 forum. Figured I'd sum up the steps and repost in our sub-forum for anybody who may be struggling.
If you're like me, you're waiting on root and don't want to accidentally take that new OTA update that was pushed out about a week ago. This OTA has been found to prevent rolling back to previous versions of android, and may also block some/many of the root methods that the developers are preparing to release to us.
If System Update is constantly bugging you to update, follow the directions below:
1) Enable USB Debugging
-Go to About phone and tap on Build number 10 times to enable Dev Options
-Enter Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
2) Download and Install the Debloater tool (this happens on your computer)
-Windows http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater-setup-v3.85.exe
-OSX http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater.v.3.85.dmg
3) Connect your phone via USB. Make sure to install any drivers needed
4) Watch for pop up requesting ADB Access on your phone
5) Launch the Debloater tool
6) Select OK on the popup
{
"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"
}
7) Click the top left button
8) Find LGDMSClient.apk and put a checkmark next to it. Then select Apply at the top
Congratulations! You no longer have to worry about pocket-updating your G4 and not being able to root down the road!

Broken contacts app

So I got this used HTC One m8 from my friend and there's a weird glitch that happened after I factory reset the phone. The app has the default icon, package name and won't respond when I try to open it. Here is a picture of it.

It's the Android app. Is it because there's no sim card in?
I'd love some help
Android version 6.0, not rooted.

Bump I asked here because no one can answer me.

try flashing thr RUU does not require root ot TWRP just require a pc and a usb connector get adb on your computer and type in adb fastboot reboot, wait for hone to reboot into bootloader and type fastboot gatvar all and post the result here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FyBGshXWIxeHdPRy1zWXdwM1E/view?usp=sharing use this link to download adb.zip. extract the zip file and go into the bundle folder, sdk, platform, platform-tool and press shift and right click at the same time and select open command prompt here and you got yourself adb and fastboot. (only works for Windows)

How to upload the original build.prop file?

Hey,
I made root on my Shield TV 2017 16GB. All worked great.
I decided to edit the bulid.prop file to change the device name, but I don't think I did everything right.
I made a copy of this file on a PC before editing.
The trouble is that the device does not start. The Nvidia logo and the animation of the android logo are shown, which loads indefinitely.
I started the menu with A + B. I chose option 2 (Boot recoovery kaenel) and the second menu came up.
I chose (apply upade from ADB).
ADB detects the device in "sideload" mode.
Can I upload the file itself?
Do I need to restore the entire system?
Sorry for my bad English.
Best regards,

use twrp to push the build.prop to system..
if u cant figure it out then flash stock and start over
you can only flash official updates through stock recovery and adb sideload

Thank you. I was able to upload files using ADB Sideload.
The system started and works as it should.
