Hi, for a while now I have been having issues with my Sony Xperia M5 (since I upgraded to Marshmallow) where my phone will reboot every 1-2 days. Now it's becoming extremely annoying. Firstly, has only else had this issue? If so, how'd you fix it? Secondly, if this continues and I cannot fix it I am thinking of installing a stable custom ROM instead as Sony support are **** and won't seem to help me.
you could try downgrading to lollipop. mine used to get really hot then would freeze then restart, then I downgraded and not a problem.

I just said I downgraded mine. You probably bricked yours when Androxyde forgot to update the fsc script, but it is exactly the same as before

Hello guys this is my first post here. My Nexus 7 2013 WiFi gives me an error when updating from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. My tablet isn't rooted and the bootloader is locked. I know it's easy to flash a stock rom but the problem is my charging port is faulty and cannot connect to pc. I would really appreciate your help and sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
Welcome mrboom97. What's the error? Has the bl been unlocked before?
Unfortunately without a PC connection this issue may be unresolvable.

Yes it has been unlocked before, and it just says error. And now I tried unlocking it and rooting which both succeeded and installed twrp recovery but it gives me error 7 when trying to flash. I believe that it may be unresolvable but thanks anyway
Flashing OTA zip on a rooted/modified OS is no longer possible since v5+.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I have a HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim bought in Australia and I unlocked the bootloader without rooting, but now I have received the interim update for Android 6.0 and cannot apply it because of my unlocked bootloader. Can somebody help?

1. What is now installed on the phone Stock recovery or twrp? 2. unlocked bootloader does not interfere with the update installation 3. This way you can lock the bootloader https://yadi.sk/d/C5ZYzOL-k4dco 4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...p-2-8-7-0-64bit-a51ul-a51tuhl-europe-t3287214

I suspect I have a broken TWRP for Android 4.4.4, the stock firmware of the phone. I downloaded the most popular one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/general/htc-desire-820-root-easily-t2913064) and didn't realise it wouldn't work with Lollipop. Since then, I have not been able to use HBOOT on bootloader or boot in Recovery mode. And just tonight I attempted to flash the linked TWRP but it didn't work. It just did what it always does when I hit Recovery - boots into Fastboot. Can you help?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply but for some reason the email alert went straight to spam and i didn't know anyone replied to my post.
The phone is a HTC Desire 820, single sim, Android version 5.0.2. I made the dumbass decision to root it and after trying to update android and almost bricking it, I would like to return it to stock. I have TWRP 2.8 i believe... I am in over my head here tbh...

sorry for my bad English.
i flashed my xperia by flash tool and after flash crashed my phone and now when i put on the charge there is red light for led but don't turn on the device and don't put on flash mod and don't put on fastboot.
now i ask are they ways to fix this problem?????
As far as I know there is no way to fix it yet. If you still have warranty just send it to service center and say that after update phone didn't turn on.
What you did wrong is you didn't use fsc script when flashing your phone.

As far as I'm concerned there might be a bug in 0.9.23.2 where it doesn't ask for fsc script because I did a simulate flash and it didn't ask to use fsc script and I know it asks for an fsc because I tried it on 0.9.20.0

I have exactly same problem and have been trying to resolve this issue. So far I have no fix.
My phone gets detected as com3 and after installing mediatek vcom drivers it is detected as com7. But after pressing reset button it doesn't detect phone at all.
Problem this far is that sp flash tool do not detect phone and I have no scatter file either.
Hopefully that will help someone to resolve this issue.

Try sp-flashtool
Also note that Androxyde said there is no way to fix a red light bricked phone
Cstool flash firmware select com3 that seen or intall vcom driver find ddiver similar flash only twrp or boot it's ok
same here, I also flashed my m5 and after finishing it did not boot as it should..... bricked.
no more flashmode or anything. just a red light when connecting to a usb cable or charger.
FLASHTOOL DID NOT ASK ME TO USE A SCRIPT !!!!!!!
i did the exact same procedure on the same computer with the same flashtool software ,same firmware file to the same phone as i did many times before.
the only difference was that i had checked "wipe user" and "wipe cust-reset.ta" but afaik this shouldn't be the problem.
..... sony service asks for 220 euros to fix it.... changing motherboard actually.
this sucks! i just hope there is a fix for this.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a non-dangerous method to restore marshmellow on my Lenovo P2 (P2a42). The phone isn't rooted and the factory reset keeps Nougat as version.
Also, non related question, am I the only one who has problems acceding to recovery mode?
I searched on internet the keys to press to get it recovery, but my phone starts the os.
Thank you

To go into recovery its volume up+ volume down + power button until the recovery screen doesnt show up . why you planning on downgrading?
You should be able to flash the original factory image to the device.

Any progress about downgrade?? i have also updated to nougat but not happy about it. I want to downgrade to marshmallow too...
Hi,
It seems like there is no update for my device, since I bought it. I have checked manually on the phone and in Xperia companion as well.
In general I am not really interested in updates, but as I read the "Green tint" issue is solved by software upgrade, so it would be great to have it.
These is the current one:
Phone software revision:
62.0.A.3.28
GLOBALEEA-A2 - user
I also don't know what the "-user" means here. As I see other forum member got the update for GLOBALEEA-A2 (without the "-user" if I understood well).
Is it something I can do for getting the upgrade, or should I just wait (I am aware of upgrades can come later for different CDAs)?
Thank you in advance.
I would recommend you to try reflashing your phone via Sony's official flashing tool Emma. It does often help with software-related problems such as this.
Thanks,
I will do so.
Is flashing with Emma voids warranty? Is it deletes user data (like factory reset)?
Thanks and Merry Christmas

You need to unlock bootloader which voids the warranty. So unfortunately yes.
But you can always relock it afterwards which may make your warranty show as non-void.
It does delete all user data as you are flashing the firmware and overwriting the full storage.
Happy holidays.
First you can try Xperia companion, if that doesn't work you can use XperiFirm to download the firmware and then use Newflasher to flash it. You should remove persist file from the firmware before flashing. This method requires no bootloader unlock.
Otherwise there's EMMA as mentioned.

Thanks, update works after repair software
The same to me, I bought an Xperia 10 III directly from the Sony store, that is no brand, with software version 62.0.A.3.28 GLOBALEEA-A2 - user. I tried several times to get updates, both from the device and from PC (Xperia Companion), with no luck.
At the end, I backed up the phone twice, first time manually connecting it the my PC, second time via Google One, than I used the Xperia Companion to make a Software Repair, now I have 62.0.A.3.163. This way is rather boring since I had to manually re-set several apps, which weren't correctly restored from the backup(s).
I hope I will able to get updates in the future, if this is not the case I will try the XperiFirm + Newflasher way in order to try to keep my data.

hi lufei, just for my curiosity: the persist file you mention to remove, can you tell me why?
I've flashed the 10 III and 5 II (using Newflasher) for the same problem mentioned here in the thread, unfortunately. Many Xperia are afflicted by this problem with no OTA updates and i don't know why.
For me, re-locking the bootloader helped. It is possible that the unlocked bootloader is blocking updates.

According to the Newflasher thread on XDA you will lose attest keys if you do, which might affect functionality.
really thanks guys. I'm not an expert in the modding, and every info can help me to better understand the situation.
What can i do to see if the Bootloader is locked/unlocked on my Xperia? There is a code to put in the dialer perhaps?
