Good day all I have a question regarding my new device which I attempted to root. I have searched these forums and can't find anyone with the same problem as mine. Running 4.4.4.
For reference, I was following this guide: http: //tinyurl.com/o6v3hqf
Everything was going swimmingly. I followed the steps in the guide exactly up to and including typing "fastboot reboot". Once I did this, my PC would no longer recognise the device that was plugged in. In addition, the Xperia M2 will not boot, the Sony logo will appear and then the screen will intermittently flash. I can boot it into recovery mode, just fine, but there is no file on my Xperia to boot from.
The next step in the guide says to install SuperSU from an SD card which I am confident I can achieve, but I am concerned that my PC won't be able to recognise my device if the root is successful (therefore I wouldn't be able to transfer over music etc).
Will my PC be able to recognise the device once the root is successful? Should there be additional steps I need to take?
Sorry if my questions seem Noob-ish this is my first smartphone.
Thank you for reading
.
Open the sim tray.
There will be a small hole. Jam a thin pen or a pin or paper click into it.
Wait a few seconds and make sure screen is off. Go into a dark room or somin. If it's not hold the pin in until it is.
Upon boot spam the down vol. as fast as you can.
It'll send you into CWM.
Then you should be able to follow into the rest.
Also using the UK and the International .ftf i was unable to root (i could but after it was bricked)
So i had to use the vietnam rom.
ALSO it was (here comes the hate m8)
You didn't read it properly and was partially your own fault. It clearly states it for 4.3.X running 18.0.A.1.30 – v01. By running a boot.img or kernel based on "completely wrong" generations you have bricked it your self.
I suggest you redo this but following this guide here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/tut-flashing-ftf-4-nbz-t2970145
Flash the vietnam .ftf also find out what model your phone is D2303 or D2305.
Wrong .ftf will waste a good 30mins of downloading and render your phone useless until further flashing a new rom or ftf.
Then flash the boot.img from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
The 2 posts explains it very well in the posts it selves. But don't be afraid to ask questions.
Hope I helped
Thank you for the advice. I agree I started following a guide without doing the necessary research. 100% my own fault. I will read the guide you posted and report back!
I can't find this Vietnam ftf anywhere.
My model is D2303. I have followed the above guide but flashed to Central Europe 4.4.2. I am still looking for a Vietnam .ftf file. I have found links for Malaysia and Russia, but no Vietnam yet.
I used the internal/journalists jb4.3 ftf top one in list on flashtool. Has the 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 updates waiting once booted up. I'm in UK and it works 4g n data just fine ,I Rooted 4.3 with towelroot apk (one çlick) then updated over the air twice each time checking root with root checker. Then force root with flashtool then installed SuperSU but don't update binarys in SuperSU till you have forced root and updated to 4.4.4 this was my first time ever rooting a phone too.
It helps to do your home work though i did two months reading up on here and the net it helped loads

My phone has been bricked for months. I am trying this guide on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
So far all the stock firmware seems to not work. I am 90% sure my phone is US Retail but I am not sure if it is XT1032, XT1045, Falcon, Peregine, or whatever it is.... So I am confused as to which files I am supposesd to flash to return to stock; and where they are located.
I currently have access to the bootloader and have TWRP custom recovery installed but I don't know how to install the stock firmware. If anyone could help me understand which model my phone is / why my flashing isn't working, it would be more helpful than they could imagine... :good:
Other threads I made on this simply redirected me to that thread, but I can't find any help or related topics :/
Additional info: I strongly believe that the model number is the issue as I followed countless other guides on how to install Cyanogen Mod and a couple other roms since I got this phone brand new. None of the roms flashed properly, none of the recoveries worked, until now. All I have is a recovery left and a bricked phone...( + access to the bootloader of course)
For your Model number Check Ur Mobile Bill/Box...
Could you also look it up with the imei #? In case a box is not available

Thanks for the help, but I found the problem.
Opened the back of the phone to check the model number and it was XT1045 like I thought, so I had the right stock images. Problem was I did not have the Motorola drivers for mfastboot installed correctly. I used a guide to install them universally on mac and my phone is back up and running!
I caught the deal on ebay for an inexpensive Flex 2 not so long ago and, of course, the first thing I set out to do was update and root it.
The stock image ran 5.0.1, w/ firmware H950 v10b. I attempted an OTA update several days in a row, being told each time that none was available (the phone is AT&T branded and my service is through AT&T), but eventually grew impatient to get that sweet, sweet 5.1.1 action going.
After attempting to flash the 5.1.1 v11x rooted system image provided by randrew87 (here), I was greeted with a nifty little 'Security Error' boot screen and pursuant loop. Sadly, I wound up flashing the stock system dump I created following that tutorial to get back into a usable state.
Left with no other options (assuming, correctly, that I'm being impatient with OTA), I decided to try the 5.1.1 H950PR v15a firmware.
NOTE: Though I chose to flash the unrooted 5.1.1 H950PR image first, you may not have to complete this step; I'm not sure, but it's possible that you could simply write the rooted image instead.
First, I followed this wonderful tutorial by Sj12345: [KDZ] H950PR 5.1.1 compatible with ATT H950 with Video!!!
My initial plan was to write the unrooted system image and root using any of the available tutorials. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any of the tutorials to work for me as my device simply refused to allow r/w operations to /system while using the COM interface, regardless of my approach.
After a little trial and error, I discovered I could write the rooted H950PR-v15A image, provided here by Sj12345, and achieve root.
Here's how:
Download rootedsystem.img (from Sj12345's post)
Download LG Root Tools.zip (attached) and extract to a folder
Copy to the root of your internal sdcard via means of your choice (I used MTP mode and Explorer to drag and drop)
Power off your device
While holding VOLUME UP, insert a USB cable.
Open a Command Prompt window where you extracted the archive (easiest way is by holding Shift then right clicking within the folder > Open Command Prompt Here)
Double click ports.bat (included in the archive). Find the diagnostics port (in my case, COM4)
Type the following:
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
(replacing 4 w/ your com port)
You'll be greeted with a '#' prompt, terminal-style. From there, issue the following command (thanks to randrew87's thread):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=53248 count=534528 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
The operation will take a couple of minutes. Once complete, you'll again be greeted with the '#' prompt.
Type LEAVE (all capitals), and hit enter. Your phone will reboot and have a clean, rooted image installed.
Profit.
This guide is obviously very specific, requiring H950v10b 5.0.1 firmware on an AT&T flex 2, no OTA availability, and a myriad of other issues (such as /system being readonly). My hope is that this will aid others who don't fall exactly into the parameters described in existing tutorials.
Thanks again to randrew87 and Sj12345 for their great posts and work; this thread is merely a slightly different approach to their pre-existing methods. They did the work, not me!
Hope this helps someone!
Regards
Smith
Any reason to go with h950pr instead of Ota 5.1.1 or simply just out of frustration of waiting? I'm asking cause I should get my att flex 2 tomorrow.

PR rom does not have all of the AT&T bloat. However, the main drawback that I'm aware of is that there is currently no way to go back to official AT&T. Seems everyone who has tried to do so has ended up with a bricked phone. You may also run into issues trying to get warranty honored once you move off the official AT&T version. So.. caveat emptor and all.
Most folks who really want the 5.1.1 OTA have managed to do so by laying down the minimum amount of cash for an AT&T gophone plan then getting on the horn with AT&T's tech support to have them manually push the update through.
Hi smithisize, thank you for your guide A very basic question, how do I know which version of root file to use? I just check in About Phone > Hardware Info and it said the phone was LG-H950.
Smithisize,
Thank you for the guide. I have a question.
My H950 has H950v10d 5.0.1 on it. I am just guessing that it would work for any 5.0.1 version.
Is this right?
Thanks again,
MB
Same here...
As Meatbag_1 written, I have the H95010d release witch rom we take???
Yes it will work for atnt g flex2 on atnt firmware 5.0.1 all subversions

Isn't the latest software version for the US h950 the "v11x" version? Is it possible to flash that instead of the PR firmware?
No
Only OTA from AT&T
No flash

I tried rooting my newly flashed 5.1.1pr with this method and got authentication error 11. I had to reflash to get out of the boot loop. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks man. How can i root it in the first place?
I was trying HERE but i do not know which to dowload, if H950 V11X or H950 V11Z ... can you help me with that?
H950v10d 5.0.1 not rooted. Tried method from OP using H950PR 5.1.1 rootedsystem.img. Now I am stuck at Security Error bootloop. Where to go from here?
Nevermind... Phone started non stop bootlooping with no way to shut it off. So, I smashed it to bits.

First Flash the KDZ file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847 using LG Flash Tool. I use Build 03/07/2014 Offline with modded hosts file.
Then download the Rooted H950PR-v15A image file from the link provided and continue with the guide.
btw: thanks for adding; you type: "LEAVE" in caps. No other guide seemed to mention that and when I did, it was the only time it actually rebooted my phone..:good:

I was able to get to download mode, but it would just go into bootloop after entering download mode. I have another on the way, so hopefully things go better this time. Will try the method posted above.
Can you send me a link to download "LG Flash Tool Build 03/07/2014 Offline with modded hosts file?"
thanks
Your can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I ignore the warning about the kdz having to be in the flash tool directory. I just browse to the location I downloaded it to, never fails.
And about the hosts file, this version doesn't seem to need a modded hosts file as it won't try to connect. That was sth I had to do from an earlier version a long time ago and forgot.
Fyi: I soft-bricked my phone like many others having the same security error because of tring to install the rooted system image file for 5.1.1 over the top of 5.0.1. And to reboot from download mode I had to hold all three back-buttons.
To install Xposed framework follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593 but USE Flashfire 0.24 or earlier as the latest beta version won't flash sh*t on this phone (or the G4)
If you need detailed instructions let me know.
Good luck!
PS: I bought the AT&T version(5.0.1) for the 3GB of RAM but I live in Australia so couldn't get the 5.1.1 OTA which is why I had to do this way, but apparently if you flash the 5.1.1PR kdz over the 5.1.1 AT&T OTA update(just to avoid AT&T bloatware) it will brick your phone.
so i just purchased the the g flex 2 much like yourself and i have everything ready to go. My only concern before doing so is what to do after the soft brick. Once you reboot from download mode is, doesthe phone start normally? or is there an extra step since you talked about USE flashfire
PS. i dont care to root the phone or is it necessary for this all to work?
Updated H950 5.0.1 ATT to H950PR 5.1.1
had the lg drivers which i downloaded using the lg suite from the LG website ( i originally tried to update my phone using this method...didnt work obviously so i came here)
Used lg flash tool 2014 as provided from this forum.
Placed H950PR15a_00.kdz in the place where it asks in the tool
followed the guide, i had the phone in debugging mode and it was just on my homescreen unlocked, phone shut off restarted into download mode and started the firmware update, phone itself reset at 100% ( keep it plugged in)
Lg flash tool was still going at this point it was around 90%, phone was resetting when the lg flash tool hit 100% and then crashed ( had a panic attack really ) i kept the phone plugged in and it reset to the lg boot screen
Leaving it plugged in , in spanish i saw that it was optimizing my apps, went to the tutorial within the phone and it resarted again... so i started having another attack, i then saw the boot screen claro at this point i unplugged my phone and it is now on 5.1.1 h950PR i have not rooted the phone before hand it was stock from ATT.
Thought i put my experience in here with this phone in hope to ease some tension. it was easier than i thought even though the tool crashed at the end, phone had already accepted the KDZ at that point

Thanks mate. Ran into this problem when flashing the ATT version before flashing the PR version like I was going to. This solved it, thought I'd wrecked the phone for a sec.
Much appreciated
Hi I succesfully flashed my brother in laws Lenovo A369i with the latest firmware Lenovo_A369i_4.2.2_(by_xdafirmware.com).zip found at http://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-a369i
I followed this guide and used the flash tool included in the firmware package above, and the latest usb drivers from below:
http://www.modifyandroid.com/stock-roms/lenovo/how-to-install-stock-rom-in-lenovo-a369i/
https://androidmtk.com/download-lenovo-usb-drivers
According to the phone, this version is A369I_S110_140108 - and when checking for updates it says that this is the latest one - but how can I be sure?
I searched on google and most of the times there are sites that claim to have the latest but they don't write which version it is(very anoying) so I can spend many hours(very slow internet connection) on downloading the one I already have or one older.
The information and guides on here Xda has not been updated for a while.
The Phone works with both phone calls and sms, but the IMEI is not written - so should I do that with SN_Write_Tool_v2.1504.00.zip, MTK Droid Tools or is there an easier way to do it - or should I just forget about it?
UPDATE: I got this sorted out now, by rooting with framaroot and using Chamelephon to first make random IMEI then reboot and change the IMEI to the correct ones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second problem is that the phone were unlocked before I flashed it and now its locked again - are there a guide to unlock it?
The phone were not bought with subscription, we bought it here in the philippines from Lenovo Mobile( not real Lenovo company but dealer/importer allowed to use the name(for god sake stay away from them)) and after repair the dealer sent back different older model(this A369i) with less battery and locked to Globe. After trying for 2 months to get them to give us the unlock code, I gave up fighting them and had it unlocked at phone repair shop were they had to use a box to do it, so I never got any code.
---------------------------------------
Third problem: I need to root it but not sure which tool to use?
Update: This is sorted out, see above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth problem: I like to install custom recovery on it - but which one work best and allow to flash from SD card?
As this is the first time I have flashed an Mediatek phone, are there anything else that I need to do?
Hope an expert can help me

Hey hi hello. Rather than screwing up my phone, I'd love some help from people who know more about this device than I do. I want my device to be rooted, all my phones I've owned have been rooted and it's not optional for me. I've been reading a lot of walkthroughs, but I seem to be getting mixed instructions. Can someone help clarify what I need to be doing?
My device is a Sony Xperia Z3 D6603, 6.0.1 software version 1282-2729_23.5.A.1.291. I unlocked the bootloader last night. I have ADB installed, Sony flashtool by Androxyde, finding the TWRP image file is easy since it's on every walkthrough, I have almost all the files needed, except the kernel, and that's what I'm needing help with. I'm following a walkthrough on droidviews (I can't post a link ) and I'm lost on what I'm supposed to flash. What it says: "The process described here is valid for Xperia Z3 variants – D6603, D6653, D6633, D6646 and D6643.
In case you are running the latest Marshmallow firmware, that is the .291 firmware, you will need to flash the kernel from .575 kernel. Download the correct .575 kernel for your device." Obviously my device is the 291 version, so I'm supposed to flash the .575 version.......????? But later in the instructions, it says "This time flash the .291 kernel for your device also available for download above. Make sure you rename the .zip at the end to .ftf". I just really want to be certain I don't end up using a file not meant for my device. ---before anyone yells at me, I *have* been trying to look for the answers of this myself, but I would prefer to second-guess everything so I don't end up with a very expensive paperweight.
Edit- I've been seeing a looooot of people saying they get stuck in bootloop or soft brick after getting TWRP installed, are these just people who didn't follow instructions correctly or is this simply a very common issue to run into when dealing with this particular phone?
Update: Fixed (see edit 2)!
Original post:
I rooted many phones (especially Samsung ones) so I won't consider myself to be something of a "beginner".
However, I just got my Z Flip 3 today and (of course) straight went on to root it, using this thread and the guide that was linked there:

However, no matter if I flash the patched (by Magisk) bootfile with Odin to AP (like in the linked guide) or to AP and BL (like the OP in the thread hinted), I can't get Wifi to work.
Of course it worked before rooting so it's not a hardware issue.
Should I flash more parts of the firmware that I downloaded with Frija?
Because according to the guide I just downloaded a stock firmware (probably the newest one) but only used the boot.img.lz4 from within the AP*.tar.md5, let Magisk on the phone patch it and then flashed the patched tar to AP (and BT) with Odin.
Everything else seems to work just fine, even the camera that is reportedly broken after rooting on some devices:

Nevermind, the camera issue is on the Fold, not the Flip.
Edit:
It's probably because Frija got the newest FW while I have an older one and now there's a mismatch in the modem module. Oh man. Why won't the guide mention this?
I'm downloading the exact firmware that I already have on the phone right now, patch the boot from it again and repeat the process to hopefully end up fixing it this way. Wish me luck!

Hai. I got a Z Flip 3 a week ago and I am having the same issue here. Ive followed the same steps as you and ended up with wifi not working. Also my screen seems to go a weird magenta (for a few seconds) when I turn on the screen.
I am in Australia so my phone could be one of two CSC options: VAU or XSA. I tried VAU boot.img first and this caused the problem. I flashed with the XSA boot.img and the same problem.
I tried to follow this guide (https://www.droidwin.com/fix-no-wifi-calls-network-after-root-custom-rom/) but at the step 5 (boot to fastboot mode) my phone will only adb command into recovery mode when I use the command "adb reboot fastboot" and with the command "adb reboot bootloader" it will just boot loop the phone once and boot back into android.
In Odin, I tried to flash CP with the CP.tar file and this didnt change anything.

I tried to follow this guide (https://www.droidwin.com/fix-no-wifi-calls-network-after-root-custom-rom/) but at the step 5 (boot to fastboot mode) my phone will only adb command into recovery mode when I use the command "adb reboot fastboot" and with the command "adb reboot bootloader" it will just boot loop the phone once and boot back into android.
In Odin, I tried to flash CP with the CP.tar file and this didnt change anything.

You have to use the phone info app (don't remember the correct name) of the guide to get your correct CSC. That's very important. Also use the very same app to check your current (!) firmware and get exactly that one from the internet.
From there do the steps to alter the boot file according to the guide, then flash it with Odin while also at the same time clicking on BL and choose the (untouched) BL file from the complete firmware you just downloaded that fits your currently installed firmware. That's the most important step to make sure your modem stuff is working according to your current firmware.

I don't mind staying here for a while honestly and I'm pretty sure someone will find out soon how to root Android 12 on the Flip. Thanks for the warning though.

Using phone info my correct CSC is VAU. The software I used to get firmware is Frija and I deployed it with Odin.
So flash the magisk patched boot.img file to AP via Odin as well as flash the firmware BL file to BL? Okay I will try this with VAU firmware and report back with what happens.
