[Q] Factory Reset on Sony Xperia Miro - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Hi
I am thinking of rooting my Miro,
is it possible to restore to factory default state if anything should go wrong with the rooting?
eg. can I...
1) reset from within the useable/working phone?
2) reset from a 'frozen' state by using buttons?
my main concern if the phone freezes and doesnt startup or something...can it be fixed in that state?
thanks

Yes. You are safe if you dont unlock bootloader. Going back to full stock? Pc companion - repair. Just make sure the battery is charged full.

sorry im noob too rooting etc (although I have jailbroke an ipod before) so have a few questions I hope you wont mind?
- wont I need an unlocked bootloader to root the phone?
what does having an unlocked bootloader allow?
do I need unlocked bootloader to use custom rom? (should I avoid custom roms?)
my phone is running on 11.0.A.5.5 and ive read 11.0.A.5.8 is out and is much better...it says i have latest version.. why is that do you think?
has that 'unlockroot' tool been verified as working on miro?
the main reasons for rooting is because it will allow me to access apps that give better CPU and Memory management - ive read that custom roms can improve performance and battery life...but i know little about them? - the phone works fine but lags a bit due to low memory, ive had to disable battery draining apps like google+, Google Maps and Google Play - I use Juice Defender Ultimate which is great but it can also toggle 2G/3G for me with a rooted fone...something im playing with at moment as iam finding 2G better for me..
thanks

No. You can root a locked bootloader phone without unlocking it. Unlock allow you to install custom kernel (cm/other) and loses your warranty with sony (you gave them your imei). There are rom for locked, like paradox. You can try updating to newest version first via pc companion - repair. Then you can root it and freeze more apps (facebook, playstore) and manual unfreeze if you really want to use it. You can get more free ram this way. And that was from stock rooted phone.
Im using greenify and link2sd (freeze) to get maximum free ram for no lag gaming.

Use greenify app to hibernate those apps which cause more memory to run background in cpu usage.

good news:
There is no unroot required to upgrade your firmware..
not so bad news:
you would lose the root, so need to root your mobile again, no glitches there.
secondly, your deleted bloatware system apps will be back again which like the last time you need to delete again..
Enjoy the feel then !

Yes, you can upgrade without any hitch.
But the drawback is that the phone will be un-rooted again and all the bloatwares will be back.

Downgrade from Lollipop. Possible?

Hi there.
I have had Lollipop on my Nvidia Tablet for a few days now and had nothing but problems.
The internet is now a cluster**** of adverts as adblocker plus does not work correctly, and programs I used every day are now useless (sixaxis controller etc). I also miss the power control options and the chew on you have adjusting volume in apps and etc (priority bull crap pops up). I also have a 50% compatibility compared to Kit Kat. Is they a way to revert back to last os as I feel I have ruined my device.
I have my device bootloader unlocked, rooted and running CWM.
Kind regards
Alex
Adaway works fine for me. Most power options are still there, just in a different spot. And i don't chew on my tablet, so not sure what you are talking about there. It runs much better on 5.0 for me. Less RAM being utilized. Chrome is MUCH smoother than before. I felt like i was using my old touchpad til i got the upgrade.

I can only say that when I upgraded to Lollipop things were sluggish until I Factory reset and installed everyting from scratch. Now, I cant find one reason to go back... AdAway works great!
Best regards,
Carlos
My tablet still tastes like plastic, glass, and other materials. Did they promise chewing on it would get a new flavor?
Also not sure what you're talking about as far as app compatibility goes. Have only hit a couple very niche apps that don't port over. The advanced power options are hidden either in a power setting or battery setting widget, though.
You both just solved half my problems with adaway. Is they a way i can get the sixaxis app working again?

If my memory serves right, when you factory reset, you don't loose root.... but if you do loose it, it's not so hard to gain it back. that is well documented on another thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-lollipop-t2945044

What i don't want to do is unlock the bootloader, thought you were on locked bootloader and rooted before the perform the factory reset.
I was having serious lag issues. I successfully restored to the official nvidia 1.2.1 update (last KitKat build) then relocked my boot loader, factory reset. Booted and back to kit kat, perfect, then downloaded the update fresh without my extra apps, applied, factory reset then booted. So far a hell of a lot better, not perfect but much more bare able. Kit kat shouldn't be faster, should it? Lol. Need custom ROMs with nvidia apps and a cool custom kernal.
Go to shield.nvidia.com sign up to developer. Then download the 1.2.1 KitKat image, unzip and place in a folder with adb and fastboot files, make sure your boot loader is unlocked. Put your device in boot loader then use the official flash all batch file. Then relock boot loader and factory reset through recovery. And you'll be downgraded. If you need help let me know. Just in case my model is the 16gb WiFi only model.
Just for the record the cause of all my lags were due to Facebook. Must have a memory leak. Installed it and performance and lag became terrible like before. I uninstalled it, left the beta programming and rebooted and all is good. Now to use a Facebook alternative. Lol.

Its a weird one. I can use Facebook on my oneplus one on an unofficial lollipop ROM perfect but not my shield tablet. Couldn't believe that was the culprit of all the serious lag! It was really unusable to the point i was going to downgrade to KitKat again and sell it and just use my shield portable. Or I had a bad device. Turns out it was just a Facebook issue. So I apologise nvidia! Lol. Just goes to show smaller companies and even individuals can put out better optimized applications. They should do a talon plus inspired version.

Try This!
While on KitKat I was rooted and had Philz recovery. I installed the Lollipop update and lost root but fortunately I still had my recovery.
I did the following to get root on lollipop with writable sdcard and managed to make my device extremely fast/snappy (better than ever)...
0. Download SuperSU v.2.27 zip and copy to sdcard -link- http://download.chainfire.eu/630/Sup...erSU-v2.27.zip
1. Reboot to recovery (No need for unlocking bootloader or changing kernel)
2. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvic/art cache
3. In advanced menu select re-root
4. Now install superSU v.2.27 zip
5. Reboot system and let lollipop boot up
6. Goto settings > Battery > from menu SHIELD Power Control > Change Processor Mode from Optimized to Max Performance
7. Goto settings > Security > Check Unknown sources
8. Download and Install Seeder by LCIS from Play Store, check all options and run on moderate -link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...s.seeder&hl=en
9. from Play Store download Remount by Stephen and remount sdcard1 as rw -link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....remount&hl=en
or follow these steps by SuperPichu (see the lockked bootlader section) -link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/shie...lipop-t2946250
10. Reboot and Magic!
Hope this helps!

You can get the recovery images from nVidia here: https://developer.nvidia.com/develop4shield Make sure you get the tablet rom, I almost flashed the portable one lol. Only thing that sucks is you have to register as a developer and it took about 2 days until I was "approved".
Here's a step by step guide if you get hung up.. http://youtu.be/GsMo1tPlIFU?list=LL2pdV4KBs4sNR6r1zpwr-cQ but really just have adb installed and run the batch file that comes with it.
After spending maybe a week on Lollipop tho, I seriously couldn't be happier on Kitkat. Xposed for the win! Lollipops biggest qwirk has to be the pull down, no idea why it's not split like Kitkat. That and weird slow downs.

After a lot of research i downloaded the OTA 1.2.1 update from here, and i used the batch file too and then i realized i could just restore my backup file without any problem hehe, so i have a backup from lollipop and one of kitkat.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Tablets/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-LTE-US-Firmware-121.shtml
Lollipop is all the oppose to what android means to us, has a fresh look but doesnt worth it, i updated just because of the battery issues in kitkat, i guess lollipop is getting very qwirk because the devices are getting more powerful in gaming and multitasking so they are a more relevant market so cant have all freedom to modify and change the firmware..

[Q] Apps on the SD card are gone (but I can still open them)

Ok, so I unlocked and rooted my D2212 following the instructions on this thread, and now when I reboot my phone all the shortcuts (or icons) to the apps installed on the SD card disappear. I can still open and use them normally using Play Store or Link2SD, but I would rather not have to go through that everytime I wanted to open some app. Usually I have to keep on rebooting until they show up again (couldn't notice any pattern), but now it seems that no matter how many times I reboot, they just won't come back.
Does anyone have any ideia on what is the problem/how to fix it?

Should I be worried about my device being remotely accessed(hacked)?

Long story short.. I believe my Galaxy S5 runing CM12.1 is being hacked by an individual I have upset.
Symptoms include:
-Gmail account password changed(not by me)
-SMS from email addresses, spam.
-SMS from random numbers with random characters (vs6ve&$+ugevbs)
-Root icon in status bar wont turn off anymore
-Recent task list showed my system files being accessed by my file manager app when I did NOT access.
-Tons of FC's from all kinds of apps
I have wiped all possible partitions in TWRP 2.8.5.0 and reinstalled newer CM12.1 nightly.. No change.
Changed my cell number, wiped, only enable root when needed, and contantly disable mobile data out of paranoia..
STILL got 1 text from random number with random characters on first day after changing my number and wiping..

Never seen/head of anything like this before but my advice would be to flash your device back to stock using Odin and the stock firmware for your phone. That should wipe it completely and remove and kind of root access that a malicious program could be using. If it continues then all I can think of would be to perform the above procedure and keep the device off until the person you think it is gets bored and stops.
It does sound very strange though as I haven't heard of anything like this being used on average user devices after being wiped.

Good idea about stock firmware. Although after re-rooting I would be just as susceptable to another intrusion as I am now..
Considered staying with stock TW for encryption too..
I just want my AOSP! =(

I know how you feel wanting AOSP but when I said flash stock I meant full stock with no root. At the end of the day it's worth it to be able to safely use your phone if you're being targeted.

Solution:
Install a DIFFERENT recovery (or a different version, your current one might be infected or the stock recovery)
Wipe everything.
Pull SIM card out.
Install OFFICAL STOCK ROM via the OFFICAL flashing tool.
Don't use your phone until you change your number or mobile operator.
DO NOT ROOT!
Use this app to check if your phone can be hacked via Stagefright: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector&hl=hr
Profit.
If you are still getting hacked burn or boil your phone and make sure to video tape it, upload to YouTube, and post link here.

There is no way to do it without root.
You could just root, set density and unroot, but then the program you are using to root (iRoot, KingoRoot, etc.) might infect your phone.
Also remember to have USB Debugging ALWAYS disabled (if you are not using it) and download apps only from Play Store.
This is completely hackproof (unless StageFright Detector detects that your device can be hacked).
(Make sure to always update your frimware to the latest version.

Done, done, and done, thank you.
I thought after all that.. it would be ok to install twrp, then CM again.. fail..
Just got a notification that my sim card is invalid. Exact time coincided with my verbally denying home internet access to said hacker..
Wow
After reinstall sim card is fine
Something else to remember: There aren't *any* Android
phones out there that are 100% impervious to all the
Stagefright attack vectors. Not even the latest Nexus
devices running the latest Lollipop 5.1 varieties.
My supposedly SF-patched Desire 816 is still vulnerable
to 4 possible SF attack vectors!!
I was worried about possibly having been hacked
via my baseband, but visiting the links you supplied
has probably shed a little light on how I was 1st
hacked.
You've really gotta love Android to put up with all
the security holes!
