Trickster MOD LED Control - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I just had a bad experience after setting custom values to LED control variables in Trickster MOD, after which I had a forced reboot followed by a bootloop and had to re-flash rom to be able to boot again.
The point of this thread is to warn anyone who might want to change settings in Trickster led control, guys, be very careful, or don't do it at all, you might damage your device/not be able to boot your rom.
Kind regards

Always make a nand backup if you're going to try something you don't know how it works exactly. That way you can always flash back

Thanks mate for your answer (I've depleted my today's hits of the thanks button )
Of course, I have nand backup too. This time just a quick dirty reflash of the rom did the job.

Actually ics has an emmc bug and you are on unsafe kernel.
Flash a safe kernel like phillz.then you can do hardreset.

Download philz kernel as per yr region.
Flash through stock recovery.
Now yr completely safe to wipe or factory reset.
Then when u factory reset u can sell yr phone.
Still if u ve question yr phone is rooted.
Follow doctor ketan s thread of all stock rom.
Download n flash it via odin. Which is safe n u will get yr phone to factory condition.(os part )
N now off the topic.
Jus take a glimpse of update coming for note before u sell yr phone.

No. Not recommended. The ICS kernel has a bug that can leave your phone a brick. It is not advised you do anything in recovery once you're on stock kernel. But I think a soft reset (from settings) will clear all your data since you wanna sell it. I'm a newbie but I hope I've helped.
even from the settings doing a factory reset may trigger a brick. I have read it sum where in entropys thread

There's not such a thing like soft reset... Either if you factory reset from recovery or from settings if you are on ics stock kernel you might end up with a brick in your hands

Yeah, but that's a hard reset, a soft reset is just powering off and on, not erasing any data.

i dont know about phones but in networking
any reset done inside OS options is called a soft reset ( settings )
any reset done outside OS is called hard reset ( cwm )
power on/off is called power cycle

Agreed, but in the old days of pda's, there was no on off capacity, there was alternatives of combo keys for soft off, power cycle, or hard reset to perform a wipe of the data.

Thats better.
And as human concern after sale.
After sale i meant.
Inform the buyer regarding emmc brickbug on stock ics kernel.
Cos most of the seconds buyers usually they try to factory reset jus to wipe off previous users data fully.
Then note can b a nightmare for him.

I dunno what firmware do u use but what u can do is:
1. Open Sony Pc Companion and REPAIR your phone in case u hadnt a nandroid backup
Other method:
--------------------
1. Install Flashtool 0.9.11.0
2. Flash Stock Firmware (latest is 12.0.A.2.245) marking EXCLUDE DATA (for no lose your apps, configs)
3. Enjoy

[Q](SS) Why won't my phone fully boot?

Pretty sure I just bricked my phone for the first time.
Installed SS, rebooted the phone which brought me right to SS, did a backup, clicked the boot options and clicked Slot-1 and waited for it to finish doing what it does, installed KN0XRAID ROM on there, rebooted, now it sits at the Main Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 splash with the padlock and won't ever load. The factory recovery does nothing for me and I already tried a reset. I can get into download mode as well.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what happened? Possibly due to my 64gb SD? Did I miss a step?
Thanks.
Press and hold the power and volume up, that should get you in recovery, then restore.... Hope this helps

I am pretty sure I did use Kingo to root. Not too sure about the rest. I use safestrap to run the custom roms.
So, if I have this correct, unroot with kingo, delete safestrap, and then factory reset?
