For those who like stock rom with 2.3 update .. this update is for u nd from now onwrds its not using uc kernels its jst the basic official rom with root access and blot ware removed
its pre rooted and very well tested and also its a backup file of clockwork mod recovery
there is no fancy thing don its official spice csl 2.3.4 version ... by installing this update may also solve ur warranty issue (becoz did for me) and since here in our country India the service attendant dont mind seeing super use.apk installed on the system since its now available on market so there is no worry u can take this phone to the service center anytime by flashing this recovery file ...
only work after flashing this rom and taking to the service center is to flash back the stock recovery image bt keep in mind my words AFTER FLASHING
How to do it
first u need clockwork mod recovery
then
all u need is to jst download the .zip file
extract it to ur pc
plug in ur phone to usb
mount sd card
look for the folder named as clockworkmod open it
look for folder named as backup
go into it and copy paste here the extracted files
now jst go to the recovery mod and then simply restore the backup and then after restoring is complete jst do a full data wipe full format the disk and i read somewhere that someone asked for document to go or something similar named app which came with the stock rom .. so its now there too i didnt removed it
link Stock 2.3.4 Pre rooted
reserve for future
also suggestions are welcome
To install these updates all u need is to jst put these files to root of ur sd card and then u need to flash it through recovery menu
PLZZ NOTE THAT THIS IS A UNTESTED VERSION SO BEWARE WHILE TRYING
i can not try it myself as my phone is out for service for 7 days if no one tried i will do it on my own when i get it replaced
I am downloading it now. soon i will tell more about it to you guys.
i hope will not brick my device.

hi
assuming u mean flash it via CWM or do u mean stock recovery
i have flashed this rom. after that i started the phone, the first problem i got is the lock screen is not allowed me to go in, what ever you i do. then i reast all my data but then also it is not working, so i returned back to rc2
^hey thanx for trying... i too was supposing that lock screen might not work .. did u noticed any changes with the icons ..??
and @haree by flashing via recovery means via recovery .. this might should work with both cwm and stock rom

Currently, we can not flash/install any update.zip using stock recovery. As I have mentioned before in some thread, for our device update zip signed using all available (test) keys returns error for signature verification in stock recovery.
okk i didn't read that anywhere bt i thought signed ziped could be flashed through stock rom and as for now don't flash this rom becoz lock screen is stucked new one will use that same old stock one

The reason behind this (I guess) is that our devices have a lot many hidden settings and apk in /cda partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9) and many of the apps from /system/app are symlinked (shortcut) to that partition.
Lockscreen settings are also stored there, which tells device which app to open when a particular gesture detected.
And while creating custom ROM we do not mount this partition or may be their communication does not retain. I have never tried mounting /cda/ in any custom ROM that I have cooked myself. (I forgot ), but I used to delete such links.

This apk (I guess) helps in media sharing over wifi to any other computer/device.
So should not affect the normal functionality.

okk no problem bt seriously ur work with miui and cyanogen mod dude hats offf...
update the link its working now
okk here is a very quick bug fix... the stock lock screen had not been removed from this update so as for now if u update over any rc update or other custom rom you might not be able to unlock (Except by doing an invisible slide lol)
so dont update it over rc updates or cm or miui this is ment to be updated over stock rom ... rc updates support will be added in very next update...
bt will not support over cm and miui as i dont know much about these roms

Hi Folks.
I've been looking around for some time but didnt found it, so i'm asking

I've allready set the volume to the max and its way to quiet for me

Im new to all that android and linux thing so need to read a little bit more i suppose. I was hoping for some kind of script (copy and execute) or maybe editing some lines somewhere, that kind of stuff.
Really no other way that flashing to custom kernel? (Im little bit worry bout warranty as its samsung)

either way, editing something in system (requires root),and BOOM-there goes your warranty
did you try some volume+ apps in google play?(you will still have your warranty but not sure if the app itself works what it is supposed to)

Thats where u wrong, I'v allready rooted my phone, theres easy wasy to unroot it when needed so you still have your warranty (except of situations where phone is bricked or unable to preform unroot od course)
I''ve tried some of google play apps but all they do is enhance sound of players but not the conversation it self...

Ive get this nitrality app, there is a option called FULL SYSTEM BACKUP is this is a ROM & kernel backup as well or is it only backing up that efs partition?
So feamode 1.4 can be use for flashing with new kernel, can i also use it to backup existing one?

hello.. my xperia x8 was originally subscriber locked and was unlocked by a technician (i ddnt know how and what he did) while being retained on stock and unrooted.
now the question is, will the unlock remain once i flash a custom rom such as ginger dx?
if not, how can i disable the subscriber lock?
thanks in advance for your replies..
Not at all....your bootloder remains unlocked always if it is done properly.

thank you for replying.. i hav more questns tho..
youre saying that the subscriber lock is with the bootloader?
would you consider using x8 toolbox in rooting the phone as proper?

Yes....you probably have unlocked bootloader.....would you minfd to look under the battery for a date number?
turn off phone
take out battery
look at the BACK SIDE of PHONE(not battery)
find something like 11W30 or 10W30 or 12W30...
Write down the number
Why would you want to use toolbox??
PRESS THANKS if someone helped,don't just say thanks
its 11w35. good thing the techncian ddnt brick it.
i want to install a custom rom and root this thats why i might need the toolbox, am i right?

Didn't brick during unlock progress? Sooo lucky!!!
-you can install flash-tools app (latest may not support x8) & download a custom kernel then flash kernel ... (read guides)
Then flash roms from recovery

can you ask your technician what method did he used to unlock it?
Don't install toolbox,download Flashtool
With Flashtool you can:
Root
Flash
Install apps
Clean
Install kernel
Install recovery
And for installing custom rom :
Root via flashtool
install recovery via flashtool
Put custom ROM .ZIP file on sd card
Flash custom kernel
go in recovery via phone(by pressing BACK button)
flash rom
tadaaa...you're done
what i remember is that the techncian used "credits" in unlocking but i'll ask him..
ok. flashtool it is.. im just concerned on losing the subscriber unlock and bricking the phone when installing custom kernels and roms..

Use LG mobile support tool, also its "stuck" not "stock"
What are you on? He needs to reflash the rom as he changed the fonts and some may be missing, happens to loads of people, no need for a factory reset, just restore the fonts folder or reflash the rom, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, bite the bullet, unlock ya bootloader and come over to AOSP in which i would recommend a 4.2.2 ROM.. or do the long winded way of flashing the stock Rom, your all giving some real extreme methods, it doesn't have to be this complicated..

instead of wasting your time here look for that guide to reflash in PLAIN SIGHT.

So, a friend of mine has a Sony Xperia SP... Model C5303, Android 4.3, Build number 12.1.A.1.207.
I know I have to unlock it's bootloader in order to be able to put TWRP on it (and then custom ROM). But how do I do this? I looked around but found nothing (really, I might just be blind).
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be answering. Also, if I unlock the bootloader... Do I lose anything (like camera capabilities, I know that was a thing for the Xperia Z)...?

welcome first
second : u first unlock it yeah then go to this
and then install it on ur freind's phone (via pc it's very simple and all is written there )
after u do this and have a working recovery u go to the recovery and flash the twrp from here and then u will have a fully working recovery capable of flashing even 6.0 ROMs ...but if u want a recovery that is only working with 5.0+ ROMs (it's very good and fast " it's the last twrp v3.0.0 !! " and flash it if u want to flash a lollipop ROM or higher ) check this out
all is here and i'm sure u won't need something else ,,,,enjoy ! :silly:

6.0 is better in terms of everything
but in 6.0 the camera is broken (video recording does work but u can't capture images or take photos )
so if that is not a problem then u should flash 6.0
5.1.1 is fully functional and it's very smooth and good too (i'm on cm12.1) and it's very good and i have no problems with it at all ...all is fixed in 5.1.1 >>>for the best ROM u should go for cm12.1+adrian dc addons (or u can flash the latest unofficial build from here which have everything u need )
or flash the nighltly and flash with it the gestures package and the quickboot

Yeah, I have Marshmallow on my Nexus 6 and I have a crazy bug with Contacts... I receive a message from number X, add it to Contacts, and there's a chance that next time I try to look for that contact, it doesn't exist. Say... I click on the contact right after I add it to my Contacts list, and try to Edit it. The number field would be empty, and seconds later I'd be brought back to the Contacts List with a toast notification saying "This contact doesn't exist".
Crazy, lol. Wasn't happening on Lollipop. Oh and battery isn't any better with Marshmallow - doubt Doze is working as intended, as long as you have apps like WhatsApp.
So yeah... I'll slap a Lollipop ROM on my friend's SP. Blow some new life on his 3 year old coffee grinder, lol.
----------
One more thing. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't break anything? Like I said in the original post, I remember the Xperia Z had a thing where if you unlocked its bootloader, the camera would go bonkers (wouldn't work lol).
Also... if this guy ever wants to go back to stock... Is there this posibility? I've seen there are stock .ftf files, not sure what's that about.
Thank you very much for assisting me

our 6.0 is very clean thanks to our great developer but since we have outdated libs of the camera that's the only problem we have and we hope to get it fixed
about the BL the unlocking will only effect the display (bravia-engine 2 will be disabled ) but anyway that won't work on custom ROMs at all ,,,so flashing lollipop will kill that anyway but it doesn't effect much cuz the display with HTS on lollipop is just fine and great
to get back u need to first backup the drm files (this is before the unlocking process !!) there is a program for it called TA backup ...search for it u will find it for sure cuz it's for all xperia devices
after u back that up keep it in safe place and flash whatever u want
whenever u want to get back to stock just flash a ftf ROM with flashtool (or there are some great stock ROM zips u can flash directly via twrp or cwm )
if u want to restore the bravia engine 2 just re-lock the boot-loader and restore the drm keys from the backup u took and boom ! everything get back to normal
and yes our phone is 3 years old but it's great one and we still not on legacy section thanks to it's community !!
good luck with all ! hope ur friend enjoy it
and all is here to help u
