I did factory reset, my phone wifi wont work, everything is all wonky, its like the factory reset didnt complete itself, done it 5-6 times, still everything all wonky. I cant get into CMW.
What are my options? Sony Companion doesnt do factory reset because it just stops working after the phone resets when trying to do it. Hmmm not sure what options I got.
Before I had this problem I flashed a stock ROM with CMW. It was stock 4.3 and when it finished it was still 4.2.2.
Do I use a flashtool to put reset to factory if so which tool do i use? I can boot into the phone fine but wifi dont work and everything crashes, and factory reset ends up with same problems still.
I think you have to flash the FTF again and Wipe Everything with Flashtool v0.9.13, fresh installation. It's compromise to much your phone right now.

The latest 4.3 FTF is .290. This is a link to the FTF's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 but they are stock so i don't know what exactly are you looking for?
I mean if you want root and all this stuff, out there still custom roms for Locked Bootladers..

How you can't if your phone can boot? Switch off the phone, when the phone is off keep pressing volume down and connect the phone to PC via USB, let windows install the drivers, keep pressing volume down all the time. Did you do that?

Amazing, thank you for your help, you saved my phone. Im on 4.3 now! I was on 4.2.2 with Rogers but now Im good!
Thank you so much all is great now! :victory:
Just a quick question: Isnt the noficiation bar and touch buttons bar supposed to be clear and transparent in 4.3 or is that supposed to be in 4.4? Oh and the on screen buttons supposed to be customizable no?
Im digging the themes very cool

Sorry but on 4.3 they are not. To do so you have to get root and mods the bars. Good to know your phone is fine.

Yeah it works great, I have tried it too but it comes with a cost of loosing some stock apps, installed apps and data. Wouldn't it be great if we can just do the OTA update without having to loose anything and also keep root?
Thanks for trying again, I'm starting to think that it's my phone or region's problem. I tried a lot of different methods but none worked.
Sad case for me...

Hmm, it turns out to be like this.
Once you are on 14.1.G.1.534,
1. Root it with VROOT, Install Super Su Pro, update binaries and enable survival mode*.
2. Reboot and unroot using VROOT and reroot then update Super Su binaries.
3. Repeat Step 2 twice.
4. Now try to do the OTA update.
Let please let me know if this didn't work. Thanks and good luck.

Hey if you really think that wrong place is the reason for sure, then try to connect to net via hotspot sheild vpn or some vpn you prefer and then download the OTA update, I know I'm just being stupid but just give it a try. To me it makes sense to some extent.

Hello guys!
I wanted to upgrade to Malladus Kitkat 4.4.2. I was on 12b with CWM...So i updated my recovery to TWRP from here ... I followed the steps and still it wouldnt let me install the ROM. Kept saying update failed. So I tried going back to CWM, that update too failed...So I was stuck with TWRP..So i installed 12b and after a while the phone finished everything and rebooted..But it went into a bootloop..I tried going into recovery using power and vol down option...when I got the option to hard reset..i pressed power thrice...usually it would go to the recovery but now the hard reset was done in less than a second and the phone shut down...did this a few times with the same result. My PC (win 8) does not recognize my device since its not yet on..Also it keeps asking me if I want to format my drive. The drivers have been installed etc. I dont know what to do...How do i revive it? Any help will be massively appreciated guys

You will get the KNOX bootloader if you flash this.
YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS, ITS PERMANENT. FLASHING ANYTHING UNOFFICIAL AFTER FLASHING THIS TAR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY​
Just the NG2 FULL stock tar.
Do NOT rename the tar file. Even though it may be convenient to do so, Odin may fail the md5 check for no reason.
(L720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5)
This is NOT ROOTED. Its the original TAR file for people who need an Emergency Recovery for their phones, and dont want to wait hours for it to download from slow file hosts.
Mediafire
Instructions:
1. Download and Extract tar above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

You will need to re-root the phone after installing this file! Then you will be able to install a custom recovery..
Thanks for putting this on a speedy host. I just downloaded it tonight in under half an hour at my daughter's house, and she doesn't have a particularly fast internet connection.
A quick question - does this file leave your programs intact? Sometimes I like a total wipe (except for my SD card), and start fresh.
Thanks again

I have been using the GOLDENEYE rom on Walmart Family Mobile and all was warning well except for sometimes not connecting calls so I thought i go back to stock with this rom. Problem now is I can make calls with the Walmart sim card, put in the APN settings but i am unable to remove the Hands Free Activation nagging.. Is there anyway to make it go away?

Have you tried to pull down the notification bar with two fingers > long press on Hands Free icon to see if something is turned on to make it show up on notification bar? If turned on, shut it off. Hopefully it is that simple. If not that simple, I have no clue how to make it stop. Maybe someone else does.
I haven't heard of anyone having that problem.
Yeah, I tried everything, it's part of the rom I think, nothing worked to make it go away..
I just went back to goldeneye rom, all working perfect again. Thanks.

Nope. it doesn't wipe data unless stated by the OP that it does. It only restores any apps deleted, or reverses any mods made. Example if you are running Aosp and Odin back to stock. You will get bootloop. After Odin always go to stock recovery and do a factory reset to have a clean install.

Wifi didn't work for me on this rom, coming from a custom mf9 rom. So I odin mf9 bootloader package, and then flashed stock mf9 odexed rooted rom, then odin the mf9 kernel. And did NG2 upgrade through Kies. Now Wi-Fi finally works for me but it's impossible to root. But at least now I got everything working, when I get off of work I can flash the OP version of NG2 cuz at least I could root that 1.
Hey guys. I was trying to install Cm10 on my sister's xperia T. I rooted it, installed recovery, wiped everything but after I flashed CM and clicked reboot, the phone is dead. I can't turn it on, I can't enter recovery mode, the PC isn't recognising it. If I push the on/off button it vibrates once but then nothing and if I push at the same time power on and volume up, it vibrates three times but then again nothing.
I know I forgot to do something while installing the ROM but please any piece of help might be extremely useful as I ended up with a dead phone and nothing I can do.

Did you unlock the phone's bootloader? Because custom roms like cyanogenmod require an unlocked bootloader for xperia phones. Also, try using the flashtool to revive your phone. This sounds pretty much like a soft brick. If I'm right, it's 100% guarandeed you can bring the phone back to life.

What ROM did you Flash? Maybe you could try with ones found here on XDA.
Also, when you start up the FlashMode process in Flashtools, is your phone already connected?

Yes it was a problem caused by the ROM I was trying to install. I found one with stock 4.0.4 and flashed it and finally it came back to life.
And in fact it is faster than when it was running 4.3.3

Guess what: if you don't like the 4.04, you can find official 4.3 firmware files in this site. There's a collection of these things. Just search for them.

Thanks for the tip. In fact I'll make another effort to install CM and this time I'll make sure to follow every step properly. But comparing the two editions, I think 4.0 is smoother than 4.3.
Hello everyone this is my first post on this website i was trying to remove safe strap custom recovery because when i originally unrooted my phone i forgot to uninstall it and i was trying to re root it so that i can uninstall it but i think i messed up my phone really badly i tried to flash the rooted rom
1. Place the G870A_OA1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Backup" and backup your User Data.
3. From the main menu press "Wipe" then perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
4. Next, press "Install," then select and install the G870A_OA1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.
5. Once complete, press "Restore" and restore your User Data.
6. Last, from the main menu press "Reboot," then "System." Done!
with these instructions but i believe i messed something up as now my phone will not even turn back on am i beyond help?
when i flashed the rom it said that it had worked.
also the reason i did it this way was because odin was not working for me.

Well unfortunately the rom you flashed for the g870a is for the active variant, not the g900a or regular s5.
The kernel and bootloader are incompatible between the two and this is likely caused a hard brick.

I am trying to read through this but I can't find any instructions. I'm probably just not looking hard enough I'll have to look at this when I get home. I ordered some USB jigs worth a try I suppose.

This is a thread from the note 3 forums, but I'm pretty sure same process. Might be of some use.
