Help required from Xperia V users

hi guys,
My Xperia V got bricked and i tried to recover it but i cant. There is no help from Sony in my country as model itself doesn't got released here. Now im replacing its mother board by the help of local service technician.
He told it will cost 140USD. I want the mobile back urgently so i accepted it. But i fear whether he will replace it with original qualcomm's or some duplicate ones.
So i need your help regarding finding your device hardware info's by using the app "ANDROID SYSTEM INFO".
Use that app and post your hardware values here(like cpu, frequency, ram, PCB ... etc).
I will compare your values with my device once it got done and will verify the board.
Most of the hardware info's are available in internet i know but i wanna confirm that new motherboard with this app.
Urgently required. Please consider this and help.
Any other better suggestions to verify the mother board are most welcomed. Thanks

how can it brick? mine same too but im able to solve it by flashing it back... lucky that my V still alive...

I sent you a private message with a link to my phone info. Deleted the only info about the sim card and IMEI. I could not paste it here.

What do you mean replica IMEI?
(and this guys is why you should never post your serial number or imei on your getvar all outputs)
There is no way to change your IMEI and very illegal to try.
This thread will probably be closed

ok forget IMEI. can I fix network problem

I am leaving the thread open so maybe someone can help the OP WITHOUT discussion of IMEI changing as that is illegal in most countries and forbidden on XDA. I've subscribed to the thread so if the discussion goes toward IMEI changing, it will be closed and infractions may be issued to those who ignore this warning. Good luck OP with your phone.

ok where i found

Can I just draw this to people's attention
I don't normally report stuff - but this isn't the only post this guy has done regarding IMEI stuff on this forum. Another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...lease-help-t2879602/post55507346#post55507346, here again with a Samsung http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/q-sm-n9005-null-imei-problem-please-help-t2877136, again here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-automatically-reboots-process-t2875721. All to name but a few
Asking how to change IMEI stuff isn't only violating rules, it's illegal
Seems to me this guy is constantly putting posts up about "broken IMEI's" which sounds extremely fishy to me

Custom Roms

I saw in another post that the kernel source got released, Im new to this, I was reading a post about how to create custom roms and all that, and i was wondering , we do need root access to get the system files and all that to begin working on a rom ?
What i wanted to do was basically a full stock lollipop rom, but with the Axon Software ( Camera, Dolby Digital, and a few other things ).
I dont have any background expirience creating roms, but whats leading me to this is , loving the phone but hating the toggles, and a few other software bugs ive encountered.
I have some programming knowledge, and I will make this my little side project if theres any chance for it to be done. If anyone has some background and wanna help/teach me, ill be thankfull.
This is the link I been following.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690

I have no programming knowledge, but I'll gladly provide moral support and encouragement in this endeavor! A stock lollipop rom with ZTE features would be spectacular.

I know right ? Well, If by any chance it can be done, ill keep trying. I guess first we need root.

I would like to support this and I have some java and c++ programming experience. The only problem is that there hasn't been any word on root methods or bootloader unlock methods. Supposedly ZTE phones come bootloader unlocked already, but I haven't been able to prove this since we can't access the bootloader via fastboot :/ if we can at least get root that would be a good start.

Marshmallow on Axon Elite?
Hi all,
I came across this poat while checking for new ROMS. If this checks out I would happily go for the Elite as the price point and features are value for money. For those of you who do have it can you confirm that this is actually a Marshmallow ROM.

What's up with all of the surveys?

That's what I thought but beyond that has anyone managed to actually get the ROM and verify it to be working?
I am on the cross roads for a new phone.

I was hoping to get the Elite and be able to flash it as the phone had a lot of potential!

You need to install Google Play Services and Google Services Framework. You will need to sideload these apk's. You will need to Google them.

Please, how can i upgrade my ZTE AXON Elite to Android 6.0? Is it posisible? Thanks

Marshmallow isn't available for this device yet.

When will a custom ROM appear for the Axon Pro?I hate all these chinese stuff and i would like to have the option to reset the phone and redo all the Gmail account,without the phone asking me for the last gmail account.I bought the phone from a friend and i did a reset later that day and it kept asking me for the old account.It sayd that the phone was reset and needs the old account and i couldn't go forward because it kept connecting to google and asked for the old account.I had to use my friends account again to use the phone.I want a simple rom,without this stupid connection to google and other chinese stuff.Any idea when a rom will be available?

No clue but now that you have your friends Google account you should be able to delete it and add your own.

I'm surprised that there isn't any custom roms for this phone yet,i mean its a phone with 4gb of ram,810 Snapdragon so its pretty powerful.

Why didn't you just do a factory reset? Also, Chinese stuff?

I did a factory reset and it keeps saying that the phone was reset and i need to enter the gmail account that was previously entered.I also tried entering 15-20 time in a row ,because a lot of people say on forums that on note 4 and other phones if you enter the wrong account,the phone will reset and it will let you enter another account.On ZTE this doesn't work .

Nothing new for the AXON PRO?

[ROM][Stable]Stock Debloated 1.23.1550.3 MetroPCS

This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.
DeZiREv5K
OP Updated with newer build.
Code:
6-14-16 build changelog
--Removed HTC Launcher(replaced with google now launcher)
--updated play store to latest version

6-16-16 build changelog
---removed google play launcher & replaced with nova launcher(issue with installment on first boot)

Yeah it's required

Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league

Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.

My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

That APK will just crash,as the required lib files etc to accompany the APK are missing.

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
