Hi! I want buy a phone with this problem
ht tps://obrazki.elektroda.pl/5033221800_1540300504.jpg - IMAGE
I can't insert image. Delete space from https.
Is it possible to fix it somehow? Just install a new ROM? I see the bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP and stock ROM? Is this something more? Maybe brick with which you can not do anything? Greetings!

Hi there.
I have a stock ROM .042, and I want to re-flash a it (or a newer stock ROM that can be rooted) to solve some problems I'm having with my Xperia Play (R800i, from Spain). I once flashed the official ROM I have, so I know it's not difficult, but I need help to refresh my memory and to solve some quick doubts:
- What is the newest ROM for my R800i that can be rooted? I thought it was the .042, but I read of somebody with the .058 rooted (wich I think is newer than .042). Where can I download this newer ROM (I already have the .042)?
- In this time I suppose that have appeared new tools to flash our Xplays. What's the best way to flash my Xplay? I would apreciate a link to a tutorial please.
- After that, what's the best way to root the Xplay?
- How can I save all the SMS i have on the phone? I have important and personal conversations I don't want to get lost.
- Any advice you can give me before flashing?

If you bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a custom kernel and have root on any ROM. I'm currently on the .069 version and everything is working fine.
- In this time I suppose that have appeared new tools to flash our Xplays. What's the best way to flash my Xplay? I would apreciate a link to a tutorial please.
You can either use the ADB tool that comes with the Android SDK, or use Flashtool (http://androxyde.github.com/)
- After that, what's the best way to root the Xplay?
If you install a custom kernel, it will automatically root your ROM (I suggest using DooMLord's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502)
- How can I save all the SMS i have on the phone? I have important and personal conversations I don't want to get lost.
Just search for "SMS backup" in the Play Store, and you should find a number of apps that do the job.

Don't unplug your device during transfer

Hi, I have a HOX thats rooted and has Cyanogenmod on it, Android Version 4.4.4.
Its been fine, but now i need to network unlock it, and the code i got given doesnt work...
I know that a sense rom is required for it to work, but i cant seem to install any other roms, or downgrade. And RUUs dont work.
Now, i have another identical phone, but the difference is its pure stock.
Im wondering if i could unlock the bootloader and get CWM onto it to take a backup and transfer it to the modded phone, and restore the backup to then input the unlock code.
After, i could just restore a backup from the modded phone to get everything back to how it was.
Now, i want to know if this will work.
Will restoring a backup from another phone work? And when i do put the rom back on, will restoring the backup revert the network unlock or do i have to re-install everything manually?
However, if the above is to fail, how shall i go about this?
Thanks in advance. And if you do need any other info like the CID or bootloader info, do ask and i shall give you what you need.
That's right, I'm the premium potaytoman and i seek the TROOOOOF! Problem?
Yes the backups can be swapped, if you are running 4.2 on stock phone as the hboot would be updated.
Or you can simply download a nandroid backup and restore on your modded phone if you don't want to unlock the bootloader on the stock one.
Hi,
I have the CDA 1280-7858 Sony Xperia Z1 Compact model. I have yet not been able to upgrade my phone to latest lollipop, since T-mobile UK have not released it yet.
My phone is carrier unlocked, but bootloader CANNOT be unlocked, this leaves no possible way for me to add a custom rom , right?
What are my options here? Sit and wait forever or just get a new phone?
As you can see in the attachment, only T-mobile remains on the 14.4.A.0.157 release in the UK carriers.
You can always flash stock or custom stock based lollipop from some other region. You don't need unlocked bootloader for that. There are a couple of them prerooted+dual recovery in general z1c forum.

Ok, but this would erase my phone completely right? i would use flashtool to upgrade?
Is t here any reason why its taking so long to get the OTA update? I mean, optimally, i want that one and not really need to bother to reset the phone entirely for this update.
You can always make a backup in recovery (I'm thinking you have a recovery already) just in case you don't like lollipop (I didn't). You lose any app installed and preferences (for sms u can backup those and contacts you can sync with Google account) so you will have to reinstall those. If you want root for your phone you need one of those prerooted ones and those are flashed from recovery usually. Best thing is to read the instructions in those threads.
I don't have recovery mode i think. Since this comes with unlocking bootloader, which i CANNOT on my phone.. (its not possible, not even paid with jinx13).
You don't need unlocked bootloader for recovery. Just go here http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and browse to XZDualRecovery > XZDualRecovery 2.8.15 > Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip and install that from your PC (with the phone connected to your PC via USB). I think you need to enable USB debugging before doing this and you definitely have to be rooted. You should read around how to install stuff there are some guides and resource threads in General forum.
Edit: Also get the flashable version and store it somewhere safe on your phone. Anytime you flash a new ROM you need to also flash the recovery else you have to connect phone to PC and do the install version and that takes longer.
Thanks templeka, I have been unsuccessful in any attempt to root this phone also.. What would be the best way? it just seems to be locked in all ways possible for me to get this done.
edit: i tried the towelroot selection 3 from file you suggested.. it just stopped after libdvm opened (loljavasucks), and after reboot, i was unable to enter recovery mode. (pressed volume up or down, and there was no light on any diode, at any time)
You need to flash a stock .108 rom, root and install dual recovery.
Towelroot will not work on v157. Follow the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2977774
In short you need to flash v108 kernel, root and flash v157 kernel back with Flashtool. Be sure to install the necesary drivers after installing Flashtool (they are in the folder where you installed it).
Sorry for being noob still.. But how do i enter flash mode now? I mean reboot and holding volume down will only enter Safe Mode of the phone. (i think its because i have the wrong kernel?)
Just when i was about to give up.. 14.5.A.0.270 just released on t-mobile.. FINALLY!

Have fun!
P.S: After you root your phone, as far as I know you can't upgrade your phone via OTA mode, I tried it and now I have a bricked phone. But there's way instead. So don't worry, just remember to make the backup before you want to do sth, so that your phone will be safe.

thank you for the info my friend
btw as you have the same model as mine, how does it perform in intensive games like asphalt 8?(mine does very bad on high quality settings and heats up really bad)
I wish they clocked the cpu on 1.7ghz...

sorry im not gonna unlock my BL and install twrp for now, because I will lose my data after unlocking and there's gonna be marshmallow soon so many things are gonna change...
Please see attachment for error message.
Does anyone know how I can update to 4.2.2 (stock version) without getting this message?
You need to have the stock recovery installed as well as not having any root from memory.
I tried to sell the phone but it was knocked back for being rooted. What's the best way to unroot? Is it easy to get the phone back to factory condition?

Not possible. You can flash an ruu if you can find it. Or a stock based rom.
But relocking the bootloader will display tampered or relocked or something similar.
Its not possible to rewrite this flag to original state without having s-off.
The trace of the phone being or have been modified is permanent.
I have on my htc one x custom rom and cwm, can someone post a link to fastory 4.2.2. with sence 5.0, and hot to get it back to original state?
I would appreciate it. thank you cheeres...
