Hello all,
I have just recived my Sony Xperia z1 compact and want to install CyanogenMod on it. :cyclops:
However, this is my 1st smartphone.. EVER.. so I haven't the slightest clue on how to do this.
Can someone explain to me how to do this so I can restore the phone back to factory specs incase of a warranty issue.
I want to back up everything so I can revert back to stock and relock bootloader if needed so sony can't tell I voided the warranty

That thread is there to help, so if reading guides like that is an issue you're going to have problems. Are you even able to unlock your BL, if not you can forget CM anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631291

You can install Wakelock Detector from google play to see what is causing the drain
Hi guys,could someone explain to me clearly how to get my battery level back to 100% on my galaxy note 7?
I would like to do everything without giving root permits. I have searched on the forum but sadly i couldn't find a step by step guide to help me.
Model: SM-N930F
Android version: 6.0.1
Kernel version: 3.18.14-9450328
Build version: MMB29K.N930FXXU2BPJ9
Baseband version: N930FXXU2BPJ5

I think you have to root once the update is on your device as the only way to remove it once it is on the device is to change the firmware.

no that's not true, you do not require root to flash firmware via odin..in fact if your already rooted doing so will unroot your device. but yes you need flash the previous firmware in odin to remove the charging killing update
the important part is keeping the OTA from happening again. most of the package diasablers i know of have been updated and dont work now.
there is an ADB method but the easiest way to prevent it is rooting but the OP doesnt want to root so he is going to ha e to research the other methods i mentioned to find something that works.
short if that get used re flashing the previous firnware over and ovet to get back full charging capability.

no you wont lose anything at all unless you factory reset...that will wipe your device.
that said sometimes a factory reset is needed after flashing in odin so i would move anything you want to keep to your ext SD card just in case then move it back after.
your English is fine my friend no worries!

Thanks to your help, I think I can flash the old rom. Regarding the updates, I would like to use this app: "package disabler pro 6.2"
What do you think about that?

Hi, I'm having a problem downgrading back to before the update. I have the FD version.
If I try to flash the bootloader in Odin, it tells me unsupport dev type and crashes. If i try to flash the twrp, it tells me custom OS installation is locked. What do I need to do? I am noob, never done this before. Please let me know what I need to do to fix this?

Just start reading here from post #204:

However, maybe it's not working for you, if you were already hit by an android security patch in the firmware you actually have. It differs depending from your country or provider specific version. But if you don't get the java.lang.SecurityException, all will be fine. Just try.
First of all, let me say hello to everyone. I read the forums a lot but rarely post. This forum is a Great resource!! Thank you al for making it what it is.
Now, my issue. I have a Galaxy Note 4 SH-N910V which is currently running on 6.0.1.. From what I've read, I need to downgrade that to 5.1.1 just so I can root it, and then go from there. The problem is, I have to have root to flash a custom ROM. I seem to be stuck in a vicious cycle .
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this?
I want to root and then install a custom rom, but as you can see, I'm somewhat new to flashing and all that, and truth be told, I'm probably getting in over my head. It's all good though, i'muse to learning things the hard way
Thanks in advance!

You're correct, you will need to flash the bpa1 firmware for 5.1.1 and get your bootloader unlocked on Lp first. Here's a pretty good thread on the Lp unlock process and for downgrading your bootloader you can use this download. After you get unlocked on Lp, you can move forward to the unlock process for mm.
Cool, thanks. I've got it flashed to 5.1.1 but havent done anything with thee bootloader..

Hi Michael... I'm in the same boat as you... How did you flash the 5.1.1 rom?
I used the guide at the link below but I stopped at step 9 when I got stuck in a bootloop. I later found that a bootloop at that step is normal. You just pull your battery and leave it out for a minute and then fire it back up and it's ok.
Gonna give it another shot today.

Most of the forums on the note 4 on xda are very confusing because they include firmware/files you do not want to use to root and unlock.

You shouldn't get caught in a bootloop until you unlock. And that will be caused by the sd card. The process looks more daunting than it is. If you need any help, let me know.
I think I have a problem. I got to step 9 and got the bootloop so I panicked and flashed a recovery for 6.0.1. The phone works fine, but when I try to do a system restore it boots to recovery mode.it that top, in yellow, it shows 6.0.1. BUT,,, when I look at the "about phone", it does show that I'm on 5.1.1.
Should I continue with the process from step 9? Or should I just do a system update and start over with a fresh 6.0.1?
Edit,,,I should add that, I am able to get root with kingroot, but the phone reboots after a few minutes and root is gone.

No upgrade in the UK yet.

I did it cause I always do it after a big one is out, but it doesn't help at all. This firmware looks good, it has several very nice features...but it needs more polishing if you ask me. My phone was the best with Android 9 firmware, after Android 10 update it was also OK but not that nice as before...now it is even worse...
Years ago I had a Sony Experia phone. At some point an major update became available. However, along with the release notes was a explicit warning that the resource use of the update is greater, and that the performance of the phone may degrade. Further it warned that this would be irreversible as reverting was not possible.
I don't know if Sony still does this, but I think all manufacturers should. Even Apple IOS degrades performance after a few upgrade cycles on old devices, which is also irreversible unless an unlock hack is released.
Each person should be informed and be able to decide. Do I want the latest features and security, and willing to sacrifice speed?

Yes, that is the point. In this case speed is not that much compromissed, but it feels ugly..

I dont know how to describe, it is more like stuttering animation. It just doesn't look nice. Icons also make some strange thing if you make them bigger.
This firmware looks like the first major iOS beta, if you ever had iPhone....
Just installed it. It feels okay, as advertized. But I don't have it's main attraction on my device. WHERE IS MY SUPER WALLPAPER????
And about downgrading, you can dirty flash your phone to any version (but don't downgrade your Android version, as some apps may render useless) via MiFlashtool. Use "save user data" option. Anti Rollback is not exist on Begonia. God thanks they didn't **** this phone further.
Edit: I've been using super wallpaper long before tho and applied via quick shortcut maker, but it didn't appear in wallpaper picker as it should be.

My device have Magisk, EdXposed, and OrangeFox installed.
As flashing by custom recovery may render bootloop, and flashing by fastboot mode via MiFlash Pro reject downgrade, the only solution left is either XiaomiFlash or SP Flashtool. But SP Flashtool is locked to service account, so your only choice is XiaomiFlash.
I've red every flash command on XiaomiFlash, and the "Save user data" option format every partition EXCEPT user data (/data and emulated storage), basically the same operation to be performed when you install any rom via any custom recovery.
Fastboot flash leave the data intact for upgrading, but rejects downgrade. But in XiaomiFlash, as I wrote above, it should work bidirectional.
And don't worry about Anti Rollback. Since I've bootlooped over and over, I've performed countless Downgrade and Upgrade. But do at your own risk tho.
Hope that help.

Hi there!
I've installed the full OTA SQ1D.211205.016.A4 using Adb sideload but I had have installed another OTA version, specifically SQ1D.211205.016.A1.
I've tried to install the correct version over using adb sideload but it fails because it says is an older version.
How can I install the correct OTA for my Pixel 6 Pro?
Cheers.

Hmm strange, as I'd done similarly in that I'd installed A1 and needed A4. However I didn't experience an issue with side loading...
Perhaps you could try flashing the full factory image but with the -w removal (research this fully) to avoid data loss, so essentially dirty flashing the full image should help?

Sure, a full wipe will indeed clear all data of yours and install the factory image. But I'd try first to remove the line of code in the flash-all.bat file that prevents a data wipe. Plus also there's the factor of keeping root, if you are actually rooted. Let me know if you need any guidance on this though there are lots of info around on these forums

Thank you so much,
Well, first of all I would need to know where download the factory image and how can I remove the code in the flash-all.bat. If you show me where can I found that info your help will be very apreciate.
On the other hand, I still have no clear what would be the version I need. I bought the phone at the Google Store in Germany. Also, I do not really do not know what the difference between one version is and if it really is important to put the one that corresponds to you.
