A week ago I was notified that there is an update for the HOX firmware (I think version 1.85). I downloaded the package (~65MB). When the package finished downloading it did not install.
How do I install the downloaded file? I guess I have to do it manually somehow.
I tried to unzip the compressed file I found using Astro and restarting the device, but nothing happened.
Any tips?
Thanks
Same thing here. Even tried going into recovery and tell it to install the update...just reboots, no install. I called tech support and they told me to download the Zune software to manually install it via PC/USB?? I don't have one handy si haven't tried that yet but sounds crazy to me.
delete zip. problem solved.
read through the first couple of pages you'll find all you need to know.
fuhgetabout the stupid ota from da man.
root ! UNlOck ! DESTROY!
use the ruu just delete that stipd zip
go to your app drawer and click on every single anything that says att.
hit "disable". you wont be able to do the att2go or something.
lol.
no more ota.
I would first and foremost root your phone.
review the first few pages you will find all you need to know about "the update"...
hope that helps
why?
why do i need to root my phone in order to install an official software?

A better question would be "Why are you on xda if you don't want to root your phone?"
Not trying to be a **** but this is a developers forum. If you are looking for basic android support, there are other forums better suited to your needs. That said, I highly recommend you root and ROM and all that good stuff. Best way to get the most out of your HOX.
i can accept that answer
Once the file downloaded did you accidentally hit postpone? Have you tried deleting it and checking for updates again?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
yes I did.
it seems that the "check for update" button in the settings/at&t software update is stuck and doesn't respond.
Move your clock ahead 2 days, reboot and try again.
thanks alot!
do you know what this update fixes by any chance?
i heard something about a wifi fix...

Wifi connectivity, wifi speed, something with at&t address book, and some behind the scenes bug and security fixes.
Hello everyone,
Well, this is my first post, but I've learned alot from this site, and I love it. I wanted to ask a couple questions so I decided to register. My phone is a Sony Xperia E single sim with 11.3.A.2.13 on it. I've had it for 2 months and it turned out to be running very slow. So I decided to try to root it, and I failed... I tried everything, from using SRSroot, to flashing to 11.3.A.0.47 and root it with Framaroot and then flash back to 11.3.A.2.13. Nothing worked, so I decided in a desperate move to unlock the bootloader of my phone, I saw lots of posts, which said that there was no harm in it, and if you were facing a bootloop after the unlocking you could easily flash the phone in Flashmode with Flashtool. So I unlocked my bootloader with the BLU button in Flashtool, and after that I was facing a bootloop... Now, I didn't panick, because I just flashed the 11.3.A.2.13.ftf which I downloaded, and... It didn't work! Flashtool got stuck at ''Flashing data'' at 90 %. I still didn't panick, and I downloaded both 11.3.A.0.47.ftf file and 11.3.A.2.23.ftf file, but the same thing happened. So I used different USB-ports, but Flashtool got stuck again! Now I got a bit scary, but I didn't freak out, I downloaded a relock-bootloader file for the single sim, and flashed it! And it worked! I tried to flash another .ftf file, and again it got stuck... So I used Sony Update Service, which completed downloading, but got stuck at 0% with the installing, after 5 minutes it said: ''install failed, please check if your phone is fully charged''. And I do think it was fully charged, because I charged my phone all night, but there was one option left: repair the phone with PC Companion, and then flash a .ftf file. But my PC companion has no repair buttons! I know it should be there, but it isn't! So here I am, desperate, and willing to do everything to fix my phone! I have 3 questions:
1. Is there anything left to do, which I can try?
2. If I send my phone to Sony, will they know I tried to modify my software? Because flashing the relock-bootloader file did work. And before they fix my phone they have to flash it, and I think that if they do that, there is no way left to see it had the bootloader unlocked, but please correct me if I'm wrong! Isn't it possible to make up a lie, like: I tried to update my phone with PC Companion, and during the installation, it got stuck, and my phone ended up in a bootloop?
3. If Sony does know that my bootloader was unlocked, what will it cost me to let them fix it?
But please, answer question one first, because that's always free
1.Be patience... try flashing again, leave your phone for 10~15 minutes if doesn't work... Try on another computer (friend's) . It should work.
2.as you said that bootloader relock.ftf successfully flashed and root didn't work,I don't think theres any proof left to know that you try to modify your phone's software ,so you can make a lie
3. I didn't know that.
Thanks
Thanks
Hello gagu.436425,
Indeed I left my computer on flashing for almost 2 hours, no result. But as you said(and I read on another site) tomorrow I will try it on my friends gaming PC with Windows 7... I myself have a ****ty laptop from 5 years ago with Windows XP
So I'll try this, and I'm pretty sure this will work, because there was a person with a E having the exact problem on another site, and he fixed it on the pc of his dad. But my phone got stuck in a bootloop a week ago, so I started to panick, and posted on XDA! For the next problem I will keep searching a bit longer!
Thank you for your great tip! And you were the first that responded after 30 views, so I appreciate it very much!
Kind regards,
MatsPunt

Hello,
Unfortunately the flashing didn't work, on my friend's PC it also didn't work!!! What can I do? I'm getting real desperate!!!
Which version of flashtool are you using.....?
Its recommended to use latest version...
Try this..
Charge the phone..
Pull out battery
After a few minutes put it back in...DO NOT POWER IT ON OR PRESS POWER BUTTON
Now prepare for flashing and then when it asks to connect..then, only then press vol down and connect..
Hope this works...
And just make sure your biotloader us still locked.,,if it isn't,just flash a different kernel via fastboot
Hello,
Thank you very much for your great replies! First of all: I am using the latest version of Flashtool! 0.9.11.0 is the latest version, or isn't it? If not, I will download the newest version!
mathewsj114: I will try your great tip in the evening, because I don't have much time now! But I will start charging now! So, later on I will post the results, and maybe( if it didn't work) a screenshot of my Flashtool during the flashing. Perhaps that will help you to help me . But first I'm going to try what you said.
Kind regards,
MatsPunt
OMG, a potatoe!
Hello mathewsj114,
Well, I charged my phone fully(something like 5 hours), and I followed your other instructions, but unfortunately... No result. Flashtool still gets stuck at 90%!
But a friend of mine is willing to help me out and I will give him my phone today. He will try to fix it,
Kind regards,

If all else fails like flashing stock ROm for Xperia E the only way to get your phone back is to return it to Sony in hopes of them replacing it

Hello guys,
So, yeah I recovered my phone+ I finally found a way to root it with: http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ !!!!
It was very easy, just download it and run the .exe. After rooting you have to manually install Superuser/SuperSU.
Have a nice day,

Hello there,
This is my first post on this forum, and I'm kinda new.
I've rooted many of my previous devices including XPERIA U, X10 Mini Pro, Samsung Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Grand Duos etc. and I've never had any problem. But XPERIA L has been creating troubles for me, so I had to signup in the forum and ask few questions.
What is the difference b/w C2104 and C2105?
I understand C2105 is newer, and better... but how do I update to this firmware?? Can I upgrade via PC Companion or do I have to use FlashTool? Can someone give me a link to a tutorial that could help me or written text step by step?
I'm unable to root my XPERIA L on C2104. I've tried each and every method, none of them works. I even tried Framaroot, NO LUCK. How do I root it? Do I have to upgrade to C2105 firmware version in order to upgrade?
Any help would be kind
I'm new so I'd love to clear my doubts - sorry for troubling ya'll.

About MotoChopper, I'll try in a few minutes and tell you.

Well sadly, I have no luck. I tried with XPERIA L Root and MotoChopper, but it shows:-

Waiting for device..
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
I have enabled USB debugging mode also, wonder why this is happening! I really wanna root my device. What do I do guys?

C2104 and C2105 ftf are both same, just basebands are different. If you flash a C2105 ftf without excluding basebands then you will permanently brick your radios and hence lose network. For rooting install proper drivers like adb, Sony Companion does that and if you fail use Flash tool for drivers, also if you are using Windows 8 then use Google to find out how to install drivers.

Hey shivam,
Thank you for replying and I extremely apologize for bumping in the thread after a long time, I actually was very busy b/w these days. What I simply want is to root my XPERIA device. It seems that Flashtool will help me out.. and yeah, about drivers, they're installed in my computer already; I'm using a Windows 7 PC.
Can anyone kindly provide me the link to download the latest version of Flashtool? The official website is down, I guess - it's not opening for me.
I'll try root my C2104 with Flashtool and respond you guys.
Thank you for your quick responses, you all surely rock.

I have updated my phone to the latest version, and I haven't unlocked my bootloader.
Can I still root my XPERIA L using DooMLoRD's rooting kit v17?
Motochopper for version 2.17 Far as I know it only work motochopper.
@OP
just yesterday I was in the same boat as you are .
I'm successfully running vengeance + Clean n Tweaked now.
Anyway, I'll try to tell you a few things that I did not know and helped me a lot.
* Install Fastboot and ADB from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
[I did not use that cuz I have the whole Android SDK]
* Remember these keys:
-- While plugging in phone to the PC =
Vol up = FastBoot Mode
Vol down = Flash Mode
-- After you have CWM installed
When you start the phone and Sony logo starts showing keep pressing volume down and you will get into CWM Recovery
* Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 to root.
It definitely works. Keep doing the partial root part until SuperSU loads the binary successfully. Remove SuperSU and restart between each try.
* Get Flash Tool from http://www.flashtool.net/ and not the Official Sony Flash Tool
* If you have C2104 use C2104 stuff ONLY and NOTHING ELSE.
* The firmware update is very huge so I downloaded it from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B16rNZZxP33EdXhfNml1ZjBFNXc/edit and used the Flashtool to flash it
What else do you want to know? I'll help as much as I can.
Well what I want to know is whether I can root it with DoomLord's rooting kit v17 or not.
Here's a summary of my device:-
I have C2104 with the latest software / system updated via PC Companion.
I tried rooting using Motochopper, which failed.
I tried framaroot, which failed again.
I really need to root my device.
Thanks ya'll for replying..

I'm sorry but I don't remember if I tried DoomLord's. Even if I did I don't think It worked for me.
I didn't try framaroot cuz according to the thread it's for the older firmware. Might work for the newer one too but I didn't risk it.
Since you have the firmware now just keep trying MotoChopper via the thread I have given you the link to. It will work.
Also, post a log/screenshot of what you get when you run it in your PC.
Sure buddy,
Will give you in few 1-4 hours.
Thank you for your assistance.
No luck yet again..
I Installed after following the rooting steps using XPERIA_L_ROOT, and then installed SuperSU, which says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
I guess that says to "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER".
Any possible way to root WITHOUT actually unlocking bootloader?

Hi there,

2. With lot of effort I installed the stock ST21a 11.0.A.4.22 Sony Generic kernel (using Flashtool). It is same laggy and miscaliberating. Did I not reformat, similar to PC? shouldn't it be fresh and new ?
3. I am not trying to install JB rom. What is the correct way to install? Should I worry about any seperate parts like Kernel?
4. To install JB rom (Paranoid Android) I tried to root the device, but the flash tool says "no root exploit for this version". If i cant root. I cant install CMW. I cant install frest rom. Is there any other way to install ROM?
I am stuck in the above points after my research, and will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

He said that he already tried that! Oh, and capital letters are just for the first word of a sentence and names. Not Like This.
@OP: have you tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/themes-apps/apk-touch-issue-solved-t2068082
It's an .apk that let's you recalibrate your touch(official patch by Sony).
Hope that helps!

Yeah, but those two have the same effect. Repairing with PC Companion is exactly the same as flashing a .ftf. And if that didn't work, PC Companion won't.

When I updated the system, i had not use the SONYRIC killer. The phone stayed root.
Sorry, my poor english.

Hi! I just registered only to say: thank you so much for this tutorial. It was the only one I could find out there that actually explains things step by step for newbies like me.
It was a bit confusing in the EasyRootTool part, but that was only because the Anti-Virus kept blocking adb.exe and just a heads up for people who get that, don't panic just go to task manager kill adb.exe and turn off your Anti-Virus for a couple of minutes.
Also, when I opened Superuser I noticed that the -rwxr-xr-x is red, the rest is green. Is this normal or did I forget something? All seems to be working mighty fine anyways.
Thank you once more. :good:
Hello, is any of you encountering the accelerometer issues?

You must use SuperSU superuser is out of date. Use ric killer then enter SuperSU and make Binary update.

This is a well known major bug, it appears that in every M2 model, after you make a call, the proximity sensor just scrambles with the accelerometer and compass,
I haven't tried it yet with this rom yet, but should it still crash the only workaround I see is restarting the cellphone/using an apk to force manual rotation.
Never had this problem myself, on 4.4.4 stock rooted. The only bug I can find on my M2 is the audio bug in Walkman. And that is fixed on the 18.3.1.c.1.13 update.

Maybe it's just the model then. Right now it does seem to be fixed after performing OP's method (Still on 4.4.2 with the 13.8.C.0.40 update)
What I did find though, being a blatantly serious issue, is a huge memory leak in this build. Every app seems to crash and run out of memory when in background. Chrome or every other browser just restarts whenever we tab out and back in, music players just stop when minimized even though they appear in the notifications bar. It completely lost it's ability to multi-task, since I can't even download from and browse the play store at the same time.
Edit: This seems to be fixed now just by properly installing SuperSU, RICKiller and updating the binaries
Everything is in order now. Maybe I'll even do the OTA updates.

Did you manage to fix the accelerometer bug? If so, could you tell in details how you manage to do it because I have no clue what framework.jar is nor semcphone, pardon the ignorance, and the issue appears to be back after a few calls.

Hello, I have M2 Aqua. I managed to fix the accelerometer issue by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware stock, because my bootloader can't be unlocked. Hope I helped.
