Hey!
I have a serious problem with my Xperia Z!
First i rooted it then i installed a ROM, after the ROM i got problems with the resolution.
So i thougt i might find a tool on the market, and i did!
After installing and changing resolution i "restarted" my device.
That was the big mistake, because now it won't boot past the Sony logo.
I have tried Recovery mode, and fastboot without luck!
The phone will just shut itself off, and try to load again.
I thought it might be the "sudden death" problem with Xperia Z, but i can't install any update!
PLZ help me! I'm kind of a noob in this area, and i will NOT root again!
i guess the warrenty is broken after rooting?
appreciate all the help i can get!

Try SUS it may work if FT didn't. Just remember that using FT you need the phone turned OFF and not leave it ON.

1. download flashtool and install
2. type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in cmd and restart PC
3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts
4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC
Do as what Maddhouse posted

Okay since people are having trouble installing drivers for the Xperia Z in Windows 8. I made a tutorial on how to install the Xperia Z driver using the FlashTool in Windows 8.
As shown in the picture below when you try to install the drivers for the Xperia Z in Windows 8 for the first time this is what happens:
As you can see the drivers didn't install:
So here are the steps to install the drivers:
Step 1: Go to "Settings" (if you don't know how to do this, place your mouse pointer in the upper right corner or bottom right corner of your screen and the sidebar should pop out as shown in the picture below):
Step 2: Click on "Change PC settings" as shown in the picture below:
Step 3: When you get to this screen, scroll down to "Advanced start-up" and click the "Restart now" tab. See picture below:
Step 4: When your PC restarts and goes to this screen click on "Troubleshoot" as shown in the picture below:
Step 5: Now click on "Advanced options" as shown in the picture below:
Step 6: Now click on "Start-up Settings" as shown in the picture below:
Step 7: When you get to this screen, click on the "Restart" tab as shown in the picture below:
Step 8: Okay when you get to this screen just hit the "F7" on your keyboard:
Step 9: Now go and reinstall the driver for the Xperia Z. When you get this pop-up window, please select "Install this driver software anyway" as shown in the picture below:
The process will look like this:
As you can see in the last picture that the drivers are now installed.

This is starting to get a littlebit too complicated for a unexperienced person :/
I have never done this before, and now i have no idea what order to do it in...sorry..
The TESTSIGNING boot configuration option determines whether Windows Vista and later versions of Windows will load any type of test-signed kernel-mode code. This option is not set by default, which means test-signed kernel-mode drivers will not load by default on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and later versions of Windows.

Here we go ( Read all instruction and comment before start flashing ) :
1 ) Download these 3 apps: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz- udpate.htm (the original link is deleted, re-uploaded by RuedasLocas)
To get KDZ file you can find it here : http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
2 ) Once downloads complete Extract the file (ex.: C:\KDZ\) and u will get folder like this :-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) Install B2CTools LG ( B2CAppSetup.exe ) this file is located on the folder that yr extract before .
4) Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the usb drivers .
5 ) Turn off yr device and remove the battery .
6 ) Now just hold down vol - key ( hold hold hold dont release !!!! ) and plug the USB cable until you get screen like this :-
7 ) Wait for while due to yr computer will install some driver . Once the install is complete find "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem on yr computer ( me using win 7 -----> start ---> computer ---> right click / and you can find device manager )
8) Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe ( file located at step no 2 )
9) - Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe ( file located at step no 2 ) . After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon util the "ON" text appears over the icon like this :-
10 ) Go back to KDZ, locate press on the yellow folder and locate the .kdz file that you want to flash
11) Click on "Launch Software Update"
12 ) Please see below picture !! Very important !!!! Now standby to put yr battery back !!!!!!
When the log start to run, put the battery back on. ( thanks to RuedasLocas ) im copy from u
13 ) - WAIT until your phone reboots automatically and unplug the cable , ( ALL IS DONE ) please check yr firmware on yr phone ....
- Dont care about the errorlog, it's normal
If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset:
- press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again.
INFO !
When you tried to update yr LG Optimus 4x HD , the error comes " Your Device Is Not Registered Yet "
That because you're using different version than the original country and you wont receive OTA update .
The only way to get it back is by using LG software or KDZ method and install yr country's firmware.
I hope this will help for those want to update firmware via KDS
And thanks to RuedasLocas because always help if we in trouble .. Thanks bro ..............
Before start flashing please do backup first ( yr photos , Videos , music on yr SD card )
For clean install wipe yr data / factory reset !!!
Did you really need to make another thread but with pics? Honestly, I think reading is enough.

+1. Exactly this.
I think no need to remove battery
Still work even skip step 5
I updated my firmware , just by downloading the update software and following the instructions on the screen. Didn't disable modem and didn't remove battery. As far as I can see everything works fine. Battery is a bit crazy sometimes. One night I left it 100% before I went to sleep and found it at 100% in the morning and the other night I lost around 4% which is still ok.
I do get tiny lags in some games sometimes, not sure if I'm imagining it or not, but it didn't happen before, now I'm not sure if it's bcs I didn't remove the battery or disabled modem as you described.
Also is it possible for me to reflash from v10h to v10h but now disabling modem and removing battery?

and will I get anything by doing that. Since I don't seem to be having any issues right now as far as I understand android
Also why go through all that procedure of removing the battery and disabling the modem when the simple version plug and follow instructions works as well? At least it did for me.
Some program behavior depends on your own computer setting, programs and drivers. Don't mean that the tutorial is wrong cause it's not. Your all welcome to post helpful hints but please, don't flood with minor issues. Thanks

Well in order to be helpful here's what I did:
1. Installed LGMobile Support Tool (I'm sure you can google it )
2. Run the program and click on Install USB Driver.
3. After the driver finished downloading and installing, close the LGMobile Support Tool and plug in your phone via USB cable.
4. Now run LGMobile Support Tool again and it will start checking your device. At this time I also changed my Country by going to Options & Help ----> Country and Language.
5. After that I clicked on START UPDATING and followed the instructions.
I'd describe instructions in detail, but since my phone is already updated, the START UPDATING button is greyed out.
After the process has finished phone reboots into a new firmware which you can confirm in settings and the Tool itself confirms it.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for your help but, in order to avoid another messed thread like all the others, lets get stick to the topic please.
"Update firmware through flashing the kdz files"
great tutorial
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot. I didn't get any error message.
finally an updated tutorial :good:
All credits of this solution go to user dcseek who brought us the solution for this incredible annoying bug on our phones. It's not a bug actually. I think we should blame ourselfs, because it went all wrong when flashing a baseband. Personally I think it goes wrong when flashing a baseband fails and you have to try it again (yup, smartflash) or when flashing a korean baseband.
I decided to make a thread in the Q&A section, BUT BE CAREFUL!!! this is serious business, but concerning how many noobs are facing this bug (like me), it's worth to fix it.
Before you continue, all data will be wiped! Make sure to backup anything you need!!! Including Internal SD!!!
I am NOT responsible for any damage you possible create. I don't think you can brick your phone because our phone seems to be unbrickable, but I do not want to be blamed for any damage. I just made a guide on which I spent some of my free time to make it easier. I saw a lot of questions regarding hyperterminal. All I can say is: it's quiet easy!
Q: What's the problem?
A: Data connection won't be established after let's say beïng 20 minutes or more on wifi. Airplane on/off or rebooting is the only way to fix... There are also other problems related tot this fix. No guarantee, but connection losses etc. can be fixed with this!
Q: What causes this problem?
Two possible reasons, both are beïng fixed with this procedure:
A1) imei is totally lost or reset to something like 356200000000000 Check your imei by calling *#06#
A2) Some old calibration data in the radio will cause an unknown network state, which is actually edge (the fastest GSM connection). Old radio calibration data needs to be cleared.
Q: Are there other concequences?
A1: Yes, edge won't work, so everytime edge is requested, you will get a signal drop. I'm not sure but it seems like signal loss is caused by this
A2: 3g battery drain! Radio is sending a lot of data to the provider, I logged it and I saw many old useless data passing.
How do you do it?
First you will need a stock based rom. I recommend Stefan's unbrick rom, because you can flash it over every setup. You don't have to think about what you have right now, wether you've ICS, GB, CM, Stock, it doesn't matter. It's also a very easy one-click installation.
Download here It's a customized stock rom with a lot of nice upgrades and features, but the most important thing for this tutorial is to have a rom which everyone can flash with a few clicks and also contains the hidden menu from LG.
How to install?
Unpack rom
- Unpack Stefan's 7z file with 7zip or your favourite unzipper.
- 7zip is free, click
Prepare Phone
-Power down phone
-Remove battery
-Hold VOL_DWN+VOL_UP & plug in USB connection from computer (note, your phone will not visibly respond but it will boot to APX mode quickly)
-Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error, or not if you have used NVFlash before
-Right click on the APX device
-Select 'Update driver software'
-Select 'Browse my computer...'
-Select 'Let me pick...'
-Select 'Have disk'
-Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to above (It's included in Stefan's zip)
-Select 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
-Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)
-Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat
Install the rom:
- Go to the folder where you unpacked Stefans rom
- Run Windows installer and follow instructions on screen, should be peace of cake for everyone!
- DONE
Now you've got a stock rom, it's time to flash your favorite baseband. Thanks to TonyP, there is a special topic about basebands. Please do not discuss here which one to choose.
TonyP's baseband tread
Flash it like normal, except for checking Erase CAL data. This time you have to enable the checkbox:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

If you get an error near the end, please see TonyP's topic how to solve! Or try 10 times like me, then it works too.
Congratulations! If your imei wasn't lost yet, it is now Now we have to restore it.
Step one - download Hyperterminal:
Download free trial, works perfectly on win7 x64 and more: click
Step two - connect phone in the right way
Boot the stock rom, you can cancel setup wizzards if you want. It's not important. Go to phone and call 1809#*990# when you have an old stock rom and call 3845#*990# when you have an ICS stock rom. Thats the hidden menu. Go to port settings and select CP USB (which is Com Port USB). Just click OK without clicking the checkbox to set it on boot. Connect USB cable and wait for your PC to install the drivers.
If all goes well, go to device manager (right click computer > properties > device manager somewere over there)
Note that in my case, it's com6. In your case it could be different. Write down which com port says LGE mobile USB serial port.
Step three - configure the program:
It's easy. Start as admin. Just cancel all the phone and location setup's until you get a blank terminal screen.
Click cancel in this window:
Then click yes to continue cancelling in the popup. Then the following window will appear. Click cancel too:
Now you should see a blank window. Click in it somewhere. A new window appears where you can choose the right com port. Choose the right one, which we got from the previous step. Note that it's probably just 'com x' and NOT LGE xxx xxx (that one sounds more logic but that's another port).
Click properties and select the right options like these:
Click ok twice and you if you did it right, you see this window with the state 'connected' in the lower left corner:
Type 'AT' (without the quotes) and hit enter. Wait for response. If response is 'OK' then you did a good job! Continue to the next step. If you don't see OK try another com port until you see OK.
Now I don't have any screenshots left. But now it's peace of cake.
Type: at%imei [hit enter]
Result is your current imei. You can check it.
Now, you have to write your own imei back with the following command (imei is on a sticker under the battery):
Originally Posted by Raum1807

For example if your IMEI on the sticker is 123456-78-901234-5 then the command must be at%imei=123456789012345
Just type that, like 'at%imei=123456789012345' (without quotes) and hit enter. You should get a message that your imei is written with succes. Close hyperterminal and reboot your phone.
Check your imei by calling *#06#
It should be the whole number without stripes and dashes.
After this procedure, just flash your own favourite rom back. You can do this as many times as you want. Don't be affraid to damage anything, allthough this procedure is at your own risk.
Gd job x_justin mate it will definitely benefit lots of ppl. Awesome!!:thumbup:
Tnx mate! If there are any things unclear, just tell me.
well done
thanks this seems to have done the trick, I thought it was an ics/jb on p990 problem
Aaaaaaand your thread has been added to my Baseband thread. :good:
I'm sure this will help some people to follow the procedure.
I'd love to see a couple logcat lines added which are typical for this problem.

Thanks, I updated the installation progress. Now Stefan's unbrick rom is recommended and installation instructions are included.
If someone plans to run this tutorial, please tell me if something is wrong with one of the steps.
Double post, never mind
ive often wondered about this you mentioned.
i have it go 3g for a split second then revert to H all the time. sometimes just unlocking my fone and watching it do it 3-4 times. with nothing active.. =/
hope this fix's my terrible battery life and radio drain.
thanks for your hard work.
I did this and it didn't work for my phone...
Every time it looses 3g it doesn't switch to edge, and if I ask it to go to edge it doesn't finds it. ..
I must reset my phone to get edge connection which I rarely lose...
Will my problem be related to something else?
I do have a p990 but done in Korea sold in Europe

it does say in the instructions you won't be able to get an edge connection after the fix. As the signal around here is always 3g or hspa it worked like a treat.
Re: Fixing Data > WiFi transition and other radio problems
Ok it is working now!!!!
I almost never loose signal and can paas from 3g to edge!!!
Basically I inactivated the 3g for 1 day and le my phone run on edge... then I turned on the 3g And magic!!!
Now my phone changes to edge automatically when I am in the metro, etc.
Mwahhahaha by the way I am on v30b for baseband and original Rom.
I also love my battery life

@InterrtuptoR For RIL you can change firmware to either v20b or v20a and also try changing sim card and please check. For bad network some time sim card that too old might create a problem, anyway give a shot and please do report so that we can see what else we can do for you. For now I am sleeping its already late. will get back to you after next 12-14hr

First of all thanks for all your research and help!
Sadly the LG Mobile Support Tool always stops saying "Upgrade stopped due to an error".
Anything I can do?
Edit: And thinking that it might have to do with Windows version (running Windows 10 x64), I tried using a virtual machine emulating Win 7 x64, but here it says "Cannot connect to server"...
(usual at your own risks...)

Remember that .kdz is LG' file_support for upgrade/init firmware; the good is that the Win dll/flash is included in the .kdz (better option than tricky .dz flash): check whole thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-4x-hd/general/lg-p880-firmware-flash-upgrade-t2919195
- use CSE flash with custom rom
(- OR restore a JB nandroid and then use NORMAL flash for an upgrade on JB)
If trouble :
-FIRST (lucky ?) : try another usb cable
-HARD : format via cwm and proceed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
I'm pretty sure @dimi89 just went threw this; he is an early p880' user and will help for steps or different way (?)
Once done, you need to flash cwm and a custom rom to check that AboutPhone/baseband is showing exact kdz :"LGP880AT-00-V20c-EUR-XXX-OCT-07-2014" and not the version firmware 02.1233, ie a different kdz origin.
(Under resulting LG JB, the AboutPhone/os firmware indication is always the rom in use, not the original kdz, so it always looks good even if not...like old 2013 V20C or remix... )

Okay, I tried it on a PC that natively runs Windows 7 and of course again the Windows version caused the mess... On that 7 machine everything went smoothly (although the "Cannot connect to server" error persisted, I was able to ignore it, as the program proceeded in the background).
Really to all of you having issues with upgrading LG software and running Windows 8 or higher:
Do not waste hours and simply try on a Windows 7 machine!
I remember having had troubles likes that before on win 8.1 , where the only solution in the end had been the same... it can drive you mad, so just please skip that!
Now I'm on cm11 nightly and "about phone" still shows L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1233.00 under Baseband-Verison ...

GetRIL though still says "unknown RIL", but I'm not sure if that's just normal.

For a device that was format all. Will need more partitions than are in that package you tried. Also I have tried to work with someone else who had the 8gb size device, we could not get past that error.
I do recall that the last last person got a new board for his phone and pulled the images from it to share. There is a link in the main thread somewhere. But , well even when he tried to restore his own backup from good device to the one with do error, it did not work.

I remembered it wrong. He tried to pull it, but could not do it.
Look through this thread. Maybe you can try to follow the advice I gave him, and it may work for you.

Hello,
two issues.
first, the backup has scatter file formatted for use in miracle box, not sp flash tool.
next, The preloader on any updated phone has been changed and does not work to flash anymore.
So, what is / was version on your phone , so I can know if it should be able to work or not?

First: If I use Miracle Box Crack 2.27A, can it work? (Would I have to disconnect and connect the battery to start the phone again?)
Next: I unchecked the Preloader because once I leave a brick as a phone to leave marked that option
Version: (Screen OLD, Now is in BLU Screen) (Ohhh I never UPDATE the software, I never use ROOT, I never use debloat...)

Hi Mr Mazak
I had purchased non prime version of BLU R1 HD. I updated to the latest version via OTA. I had my phone rooted with super su and now wanted to try Magisk. After the reboot I had reinstalled the twrp recovery and did a format of all data on my phone. I am trying to install twrp but when I power on my device it is stuck on the boot loading screen. I have tried hold power button and volume down simultaneously and it reboots but gets stuck on the logo.
I tried using the sp flash tool to restore my phone to stock but it did not work. Get error S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_FAIL. 7d
My bootloader is unlocked.
Tried using adb commands but when I connect to the phone and run adb commands it says no authorisation.
If I can install twrp on the device then I will be able to install the rom from rootjunky, not sure if you require more info.
Awaiting your ananlys
Kind Regards

The latest ota blocks the use of sp flash tool. And the kernel exploit used previouls. But now there is new exploit. But you cannot boot so that is mutt point now

Did you only format the data partition or whole device.?

This confuses me. You just said you had twrp already. Now you have trouble to I stall it.

From what you say.
1. You had working phone with SU root.
2. You have twrp installed
3. You wiped / formated with twrp
4. You now only boot to a logo screen. No recovery, or bootloader?
Hi
I bought a new OnePlus 10 PRO from Aliexpress. Its a CH version that the seller installed on it a global rom.
In the first setup of the phone, When I get to setting the fingerprint, I am unable to set it. I get the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried updating the phone, I tried factory reset... its always the same.
Any idea?
Thanks !
Are you sure that he installed the global rom? With model is yours NE2213 ? I bought from them also but I don't have this issue.
Anyway, you can try to use Oxygen Updater, to check if there is an update for your device or since your device is reseted, you can install ColorOS back
Hi,
I am on NE2215. Using Oxygen Updater I see that I have the most up to date version.
Not sure exactly how to install ColorOS.. I do want to have the regular OS that I would have as if I bought the global version (which i guess this is what the global rom mean..)
Right, I agree with you. I recommended to install the coloros just to check if it's a compability issue.
You can try to reinstall you version and see what happens, just download it and flash it again.
ok, and now for someone that have no idea how to do it?
If yours is NE2215 A13 you can download the ota file from this link: https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/7548d30abac02bde85a403bcc3a218df868e1910.zip
Then put it in your phone root and from your device Settings -> About the device -> Click on the option to check for the update -> 3 dots menu -> local installation and chose this package. It will start the installation.
Thank you for your help !
Downloaded and copied into my device files.
However - When I go to "About device" and click on the "up to date" button to search for updates, it just tells me I have no updates and i see no 3 dots to go for local installation:
What am I missing?
I think it's obvious that something went wrong during the region change, this issue was prevalent on the 8 pro and was extremely difficult to fix.
Check out the 8 pro threads you'll be sure to see it. It's a partition iirc and if it's borked then it simply will not work..
I can't remember the name of it off hand but have a look and I'm sure you can get an idea of what may be wrong, specifically that partition.
Overall it's difficult to say as you've got a region changed phone, have you asked the seller what they did? If it is indeed as difficult as it was on the 8 pro to fix and seeing as you may be the only person experiencing this (far as I know) then I'd consider returning it.
You could re-flash the entire OS via fastboot enhance but that would also bring with it inherent problem's, if it's new then I guess the question you need to ask yourself is it worth it?
Did you save much money getting that converted variant?

This page is from android play services. You need to click on the first banner
@dladz TBH I bought it for around 70% of the price I would pay locally.. So yea, it was much cheaper. I also had before OP9 global rom and had no issues with it.
Maybe indeed as last step its worth trying to reinstall everything again.. I'm just not sure how to do it. I cannot find the local upgrade option as advised above, and after googling a bit how to do it using ADB, when i try to run fastboot oem unlock - the CMD will just show me forever "< waiting for any device >" (and this is although I was able to communicate with my device using "adb devices" and I got back my device id.
@zopostyle I did click on that banner you're showing and I got to the page I showed you before..
I'm clueless
If that is the page showing I'm assuming you're on a gsi ROM and not oxygen os.
Now it's better to reinstall OxygenOS completely because it doesn't seem to be the ROM you're running.
Search here on xda to unlock your bootloader and then you need to find the zip with the full ROM for you device and install it from fastboot as mentioned.
OK, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader but as I mentioned:

I tried several tutorials online and so far I found no tutorial that will actually give me step by step that each step is actually working..
Maybe it's missing the drivers. Try this https://gsmusbdriver.com/oneplus-10-pro

I feel you buddy.
You can use the app in my Magisk guide to do local installs.
Unlocking the bootloader you need to type fastboot flashing unlock
I haven't had to change region myself, but I did make a thread for someone else where the process was listed, think I called it changing Chinese firmware iirc.
If it's just a case of a re-flash of the firmware you're on, it's not that difficult.
Just use oxygen updater and grab the full firmware then do the local update using the app I mentioned above (listed in my Magisk/root guide)
I've never done this when not having the bootloader unlocked personally, but you can unlock and that'll wipe your phone with the recovery already on your device.
Only issue I have going down these routes is what else is missing? Do any of these processes stand up if we can't rely on the integrity of the OS that someone has put on and made a balls of it?
Sorry I know you may not agree but 30% is a small price to pay to avoid a brick and bring stability..
But that's me

That is a seriously good shout and would explain the fingerprint.
Hi guys, thank you again for helping me.
I tried installing again the uSB drivers, and ran again "fastboot flashing unlock" - it still telling me:
As far as I understand I have to unlock it for next step, right? (either for resetting back to colorOS or reinstalling oxygen)
I will try later tonight the other method (this magisk thing) - is this the link you're talking about?
Can you please also give me a link to download the full most up to date global Oxygen version and the CH Color one? i'll try both
Thanks !
For OxygenOS there is no A13 full yet...so you have to download A12 from this link: https://gauss-componentotacostmanua...22/03/24/a9f9e7ec682744c2ba606a366df587ac.zip

The chinese one is hard to find, if I find it I post the link here...

Really is odd about them not being full... They're massive compared to conventional incremental updates. 4.05GB that's a hell of an incremental.
Haven't had to do it myself and it's sightly off topic but is the full version you'd use to recover a phone albeit without a functional MSM?
So fastboot flashing?
Cheers
Hi again,
So, i'm trying to follow the tutorial here. I got stuck already in the first step - I cannot extract the boot file using Fastboot Enhance:
This is although in this link I have downloaded a full version (EU version (NE2213_11.A.13)).
What should I do next please?

As @zopostyle said earlier.. you'd need to use 12 mate. As that's the only full version available...13 won't cut it...you can extract the images using the button that says allow incremental, that's useful for extracting boot images for rooting.
But there's a reason why that's there, it's so you don't go ahead and flash it.... According to @zopostyle 12 is the only full version so that's what you would need.
Again I've not done this myself so perhaps wait for someone else to chime in what to do next.
