Help guys, phone doesnt turn on
i had a problem and a had to flash the phone with flash tool, fortunately everything was okey and i recovered the phone,
Once restored the phone, i had done a backup of the sony xperia keys with the TA backup tool, so when i restored the phone, i use the ta backup tool to restore the keys, and when i restarted the phone, it didnt switch on....
even if i press the OFF button inside,
it doesnt turn on the led light when i connect it to the power...
I have tried to make a flash with flash tool but the phone doesnt get power from the usb
When i did the restored the backup, appeared in the program a message saying that the device is different and may make a hard brick in your phone..... and i press continue,
But the device is the same, just i installed again the software downloaded from internet...
Hope you can help me,
i hope i havent broken my phone definitely

Hi, when trying to root my Sony Xperia U it doesn't work, I tried both options 3 and 4 but no luck, when it asks to unlock the phone and click on restore or something, I unlock my phone but there's nothing there.
Any suggestions? Thanks
LG AS730
I have researched as much as i could on here for this model and basically find nothing useful. There is a post that shows a method to root but i could not get that process to work.just wanted to give my input. I used root genius and it rooted mutt phone just fine. Now if i could get lg to tell new how to unlock the boatloader i would be in business. I saw the email that one developer got from lg about oem unlock. This does not work on this model. It just reboots normally. Any help on how to unlock my boatloader would be appreciated.
Rooting Xperia Z
Sorry to ask this, but does your root work with an Xperia Z c6606 10.4.C.0.814 running android 4.3. The phone is from T-Mobile if that makes a difference. It is not unlocked. I'm brand new to rooting, but my warranty of one year just ended, so I wanted to try rooting. Also, does the root delete any data, like pictures? Sorry to bother you with this question I'm very unexperienced.
Just rooted an Xperia ZL C6506 to Android 4.3 using Bin4ry's v.36 root kit!
I have my 2nd unlocked Xperia ZL C6506 phone (after the 1st one fried)! I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers and the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating.
I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday, using Bin4ry's v.36 rooting toolkit. I'm on Android 4.3 now. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators). I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.)
Regardless, this rooting method saved me lots of grief and worked great. By the way, I tried all the options of the application, and the one that worked was option "0) New Z2 Root Method by cubeandcube (thanks man!)" [I think the developer's ID is actually "cubeundcube"]
Thanks Bin4ry for an awesome application!

[Q] Trouble with Bin4ry's Root [Please answer] [Kindle Fire 2]
About 4 days ago I had a perfectly working Kindle Fire (2nd Gen). But the all the apps I wanted all required root! I had a little look into rooting my Kindle Fire, and I stumbled across a YouTube video that led me to Bin4ry's topic. The video directed me to use the "Normal" option (Option 3 I believe??) so I went for it. An Interface came up on my Kindle came up telling me to backup my Kindle (So I did) and then another one came up telling me to restore it. The computer interface told me that restoring would do nothing, so I did. Then it rebooted my Kindle, and when it first loaded up, the first noticeable thing was that when it came to the LockScreen, the was no picture. "No Worries" I thought, and went to unlock my Kindle. Second observation. It was soooooooooooooo laggy, and e v e r y t h i n g m o v e d l i k e t h i s. Literally. I tapped a button, and it took thirty seconds for the button to tap. Then another minute to actually load somethinng. At this stage, I panicked. I had no idea what to do. I'm not sure if this is normal or anything. I also ran a check, AND I'M STILL NOT ROOTED!!! The good things are that
1: It's not bricked.
2: The Computer recognizes it as a USB device .
3: The Computer recognizes it as an ADB device.
4: I can navigate to the "Restore" button if I have to.
I would highly appreciate it if someone could please direct me how to fix this problem (Preferably without restoring). It would also be great if anyone could direct me to a valid Kindle Fire 2 rooting article. If you have got any questions about operating system, ect, just ask me.
Cheers

How to correct E960 reporting incorrect instead of actual E970 in LG_flash_tool
VDub2625 said:
I am aware, my problem was that I must have used some E960 flash at some point (I was playing with teenybins, and hence my messed-up boot screen, etc). The problem was I had to make the phone remember it was an LS970 (I reverted to a stock ZVB LGNPST flash first), and then this tool worked perfectly fine. thanks for the help! The ZVB LGNPST flash fixed my boot screen etc, so I suppose all the low level software was fixed then, but I wanted the ZVC flash as well, so i did as your instructions said. Worked perfect!
I agree that the instructions were a bit vague (and lacking in spell-check), however, it wasn't anything too difficult to understand and the step by step pictures really help.
The only problem I forsee is others with an issue like mine,t hat may have accidentally used the wrong Optimus G flash at some point, and their phone doesn't realize what it is. But as I found out, it is a simple fix.

How to correct E960 reporting incorrect instead of actual E970 in LG_flash_tool
Flash Tool Reads as "Wrong Model Name"??
I bricked my LG Optimus G LS970 (Sprint) from trying to flash cyanogenmod 12 on it.
** I had wiped the system, data, and ext by accident while in recovery so I have no OS**
So, I am trying the LF Flashtool to put the phone back to stock but it is reading the wrong model number ( comes up as a Nexus 4) see attached picture.
How can I get my phone to read as a correct model name?
I do have a backup of CWM I am unsure of how I would go about doing a recover with that without CWM recover on the phone?
Worked for me
Thank You tommyjoe, LG flash tool worked great. I did have the same issue with device reporting as different model and followed your suggestion that the unlocked bootloader was causing it somehow. After relocking bootloader correct model confirmed and flashed back to boxed stock
LS970-rooted and unlocked
ZVC-Stock Rom
Thanks again!
I have a problem when it resets it cant communicate with the device.
Hello everyone,
I am new to android family, as recently i bought an Xperia M, now i would like to ask a few questions and please bear with me since my English are not good enough.
My first objective was to immediately wipe that xperia OS and change it to stock like experience. [the closest i could find is CM11],
so after some searching i found out that in order to do that, i had to unlock the bootloader. But since the phone is new i also would like to not loose warranty, so i read i had to backup TA partitions Before even unlocking the bootloader, but in order to do this i have to root using an exploit. So please enlighten me:
1] wich rooting program should i use since i read many complains on many rooting programs
2]witch program should i use to backup the firmware before taking action [i do not care about photos and contacts]
3]if something goes wrong where do i download the official firmware of my divice to restore it back to normal? [similar to itunes that no matter what happens it restores your device back to normal]
(*) another question: after i root my phone and backup TA partitions, next step should be to unlock my bootloader [that means i only need to install a superuser.apk to gain root access again, right?] or just flash the cm11 and gapps and not worry about rooting?
Thanks in advance guys!
