You can also flash instal a pre rooted rom or a kernel with recovery and instal a custom rom
Sorry for my bad english

To uninstal facebook download Root explorer and go to system/app/ and just delete it
I've never seen the elf file for Flashtool. For ftf file you just need flash mode
root explorer i got it but didnt find a way to delete facebook and later i found in android market
ROM CUSTOMIZER with that i successfuly uninstalled facebook and all other 6 his applications so my phone is clean now
everythings work fine only when i play games phone get hot and little lagg when i quit game i need wait 5 sec to see icons
any ideas to speed it up?
How to Root Xperia U
Dude please let me know your rooting procedure of Xperia U , now i am with successfully unlocked bootloader .
Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.
U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software. Here is a link to some official pre rooted software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 all of these software's you can install though Odin just look up here on XDA on how to use Odin and you will be fine once your phone is up and running again then you will need to get you a custom recovery. Then you can access your backups.

He was asking if he can use an android tablet to fix his phone. He doesn't have access to PC at least until Monday it says so in his post. I wasn't even criticizing you at all. Unless he knows someone with a PC in Mississippi or someone here knows how to use one android device to flash something on another android device he sadly will have to wait until he gets home to fix his phone. You didn't do anything to be criticized for trying to help all I did was point out the info that you missed without personally attacking you making it a critique.

hey all, I've been reading , downloading etc for hours trying to get back into my GS3.. i was as usual roaming around and saw a post that said something to this effect "do ya need to get back to stock?" and figured yes i need to so i jumped in with both feet ..i had my boot loader unlocked and for some reason locked the darned thing remembering it was locked before i rooted and then i get the screen that says ie: "System software not authorized ~~~~~~~~~~~~" with a yellow triangle over it with an "!" mark in it..
all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..
Hello everyone,
I have learned a lot from these forums and am thankful for everyone's hard work here. I have a Tipo Dual that was originally with firmware 11.0.A.6.5 (ST21a2, not i2). I installed GIMLO, which is generally good, but I have some issues with it (LED doesn't light for E-mail or charge, play store and games crashing, little things like that). The phone is rooted and boot loader is unlocked (all with tools from here!). I did not make a backup of my original system before I flashed (I thought I had, but it is not there, not sure how I failed at that).
I have two questions: I have tried a lot of times to relock my boot loader so I could use SUS or PC Companion to reload the firmware. It won't relock with any of the methods I have found here. Is there a reason for that? I have reloaded a stock firmware, and even then I could not relock boot loader. Anything I should look for to allow this?
I would like to put the a2 firmware back on but the firmware I find here is always the i2 version; I understand the difference is little tweaks in how the phone deals with the GSM network, and as phone connectivity is important to me, I'd like the original a2 version again. My wife has the identical phone (with ST21a2 & 11.0.A.6.5 -- or maybe 11.0.A.8), and she has not done anything to hers. Can I root, make a nandroid backup of her phone, and somehow import/flash that to my phone? I have my contacts backed up, so I'm not worried about that, and I have all my apps, so a clean install would be fine with me. If I can do this, how do I get the backup off of her phone and onto mine? Am I right in assuming that if I manage to do this, it will replace the kernel, too (I currently have the gimlo kernel)?
Do the experts here have any advice for a noob on these two questions?
Thanks, and thanks again for all your hard work here!

Yes the nandroid backup would be fine but you will need to reflash the stock kernel with flashtool i don't no if theres any difference between the kernels of i/a. plus even if you relock your bootloader you still might brick your device flashing with Seus & pcc.

Thanks for responding to my question, I appreciate your help.
Do you think it's better then to just do something like flash this if I want to go back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270976&highlight=+tipo+dual+
and just forget trying to make it retail again? As long as Sony doesn't change and bring out an OTA/PCC update to JB, I guess there's no reason to worry about anything else in being bootloader locked, right? Especially if I can brick the thing by trying.
This is all very new to me (if I'd realized the limitations of the Tipo Dual and cm10, I would have bought the Tipo single!), but I hope to be able to play more with Android and with roms because of this excellent forum.
Thanks again,
Fred (no, not really)

If thats the firmware you want then by all means flash that bro. The nandroid backup from your wifes phone will be just the same. the backup will be on her sdcard in the file /clockworkmod/backups/ just copy it and paste it to your sdcard. restore it then flash the kernel.
There's an ftf file available im the forum to relock the bootloader.
Flash it in fastboot mode.
I myself have flashed it to relock the bootloader on my st21i2.
After that use pc companion to get your firmware.
I have relocked and then used pc companion without any problems using this method.
Should work for you too.
All the best.

Thanks, c4cyro; I managed to relock with flashtool (it had not worked when I had tried before, but suddenly it did); even so, I can't load from pc companion. Did you also unroot your phone? I've seen elsewhere that that can have something to do with it. I'd like to do this just because so far I haven't been able to (and I hate not being able to do stuff, even when I'm a noob).
Thanks again,
Fred
no i did not unroot. if sony pcc does not recognise your phone, you should try doing that on another system maybe.
to unroot you can use "unlockroot" program.
also, did you check this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567

I wonder if it's because it's a Tipo Dual, and the firmware that Gimlo is based on for the Dual is the latest (11.0.A.6.8); even when it's locked and unrooted, pc companion just says it doesn't have any software for my phone. Really strange (and annoying). I might try loading an older firmware, locking everything up, and trying again. Or maybe I'll just reinstall Gimlo and see if I can get it to work the way I want it to!

maybe. does it recognise that it's a tipo or it just says that there's no software available?

It picks it up as Tipo Dual (listed as St21i2 instead of St21a2 bc the Gimlo .3 firmware -- which is the right one for the dual -- is the "i" version).
I've just found this firmware, which seems to be stock, so I'm going to try this:
1) try out this firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044944; 11.0.A.6.5 stock) and see what it is and how it works;
2) then install the base stock for the Tipo Dual for Gimlo (which for the dual is );
3) then install the Gimlo firmware and ROM, and see if I can get it to work the way I want (going mostly stock except for the loader, which I really like the one I'm using on Gimlo);
Will report back on how things turn out and what I end up sticking with!
Thanks again for your help, it's good to feel like I'm not hopping about on one foot on my own.

All the best!!
The thing is, the system update on my Idol 3 is not working for some reason. After downloading the 1.2K MB of update file, the phone just says sth like "wrong update" and starts download all over again. I don't know what's wrong, but I don't want to download from scratch again.
From what I read, I found out that the official ROM is not out yet. I'd like to know when it would be available if any of you knows it. Does updating the phone using Alcatel's "Mobile Upgrade" program work? Normally, I'd download the ROM from PC, put it on SD and update from there.
Is there a way to manually update to Marshmallow? If so, I'd like to know every step in detail. I'm not very familiar with technical details. It would be great if you'd link the definition of the acronyms you use.
Some things to consider: I rooted my Idol 3 according to a post somewhere on XDA forums. I unrooted the phone just by "Unroot" in SuperSU. I don't know if I fully unrooted or something else happened. Maybe this is why I can't update.
Thanks for you help in advance.
If the official update is not out for your Alcatel phone, using the Mobile Upgrade program is not going to put MM on your phone.
If you want to flash an MM rom that was made for another phone, you'd need to flash TWRP and then flash a custom MM rom from TWRP.
So iv had this device for quite some time now. Updating the phone through the internet doesnt do anything and goes into loop and restarts. So im stuck on this Android version for a long time.
Im a little bit of a newbie when it comes to firmware flashing rooting etc. I am on an Xperia XZ Premium G8141 with Build number 45.0.A.5.1
I already have the bootloader unlocked.
What would be the right steps for me to take in order to upgrade to Android Pie safely? Maybe even root the phone?
Stock Android Pie would be the best option for me i think
So i managed to Upgrade on my own to Android 8
Downloaded firmware from XperiFirm and flashed it on my device with newflasher
Still when i go to system updates it doesnt update. It downloads a 1.5 gb file then restarts and the update is still there.
Any solutions?
Your device is unlocked. OTA is broken. You must flash 9.0 manually. And no there is no way to re-lock the bootloader that I know of. If you would like me to tell you dee way to do that PM me or reply back here

i would like to know how yes. thanks
lets do that here and not over pm so maybe more people looking for something like that could find it also
i would like to have Android 9 Pie and also maybe give it a try to root it.
Iv never done that before and since its not my main device i would give it a go and install some custom apps and modifications.
Ok ? I'm at work right now but once I get home I'll write you up a guide here on how to get to pie, how to flash twrp, how to root phone, and how get xposed if that's what u want or existenze room working.

I just know how it feels to have ur thread go ignored. So I try to help anyone in any thread I see.
Do you want volte for T-mobile cause I can make that happen. Also do u have fastboot and adb drivers installed?

im not sure what you mean with volte for T-mobile. If it has to do with networks im actually in Greece and we dont use T-Mobile here. I saw a Greek Android version up to 8.0.0. which i have installed right now
I have fastboot and adb drivers already installed, but the adb driver seems to be giving me some error and exclamation mark in device manager for some reason. The phone is recognised by Xperia Companion for example though
figure out that error. right click on the driver and look in details and report back. An xperia companion should most likely be useless at this point since u unlocked it
Well from a translation of Greek it says "not possible to start this device (code 10)"
Its the Sony sa0116 adb interface driver right? That's the one I could find

First if your phone blows up, freezes, dies or boot loops it is not my fault. I will help if i can but if you blame me. I will not feel bad
First things first Here's what you need!!!
-flashtool- If you can find the xperia ftf downloader only more power to you. http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
-newflasher, This is the correct tool for flashing new firmware on the xz premium https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
-twrp image: https://dl.twrp.me/maple/
-root aka magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
-minimal adb. Not gonna link it. so easy to search. INSTALL THIS BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE
Ok here we go to getting to 9.0 and root:
Getting your firmware
-First install flashtool after you download it.
-Once its installed you want to navigate your explorer to where it was installed, and find the drivers folder. Click the drivers exe and it will come up with many options. You want adb and fastboot. I think its the first two. Click install
-Drivers installed? OK moving on! Open flashtool and navigate to xperifirm. Should be on the toolbar. Another window will pop up with a bunch of xperia phones and years. Find your phone. click your region. In the right screen of the window it will show what firmware is available. Most recent pie version will end in .24. If unsure, GOOGLE THE FIRMWARE NUMBER.
-CLICK ON THAT FIRMWARE AND IT WILL BEGIN TO DOWNLOAD. after download it will unpack it
-Once it unpacks and finishes, close the download window. Close xperifirm. Dont touch flash tool. Leave THAT OPEN. Flashtool will then unpack the ftf (which is important that it does) and the bottom bar will have progress bar. It will be clear when it finishes or fails but you will see red letters if it did.
-Firmware unpacked? Great! Extract your newflash firmware. All items in the zip must go into the folder where your firmware was downloaded. Mine looks like this C:\Users\rocke\.flashTool. It will be in the download folder and it will have your unpacked firmware. Go into that folder and it will have a bunch of files from your ftf. Move your new flasher files in there. Make sure boot folder is emptied into the main folder where are the others are and new flasher. Delete boot folder.
Flashing time
-hold volume down and plug in phone to pc. Green light should come one.
-Open Newflasher.exe
-a few questions will appear. I dont type = yes on both questions cause its kinda pointless unless you need gordon gate drivers and u want to back up something that i think i dont need/
-WHoooooosh! Command lines will start popping up and your phone is being flashed. Let its do its thing
-Eventually it will tell you you can disconnect your phone after u close the window. Boom android 9
Give me the root captain!!!
root.....a dangerous but such a fun little thing
-first your twrp. Hold volume up and plug in phone. Blue Light will come on. the twrp image must go in the minimal adb folder. Other wise adb will think your crazy and say it doesnt exist.
-type this in minimal adb fastboot devices. it will show if a fastboot device is available. If not we have problem with drivers. If yes. Then we keep trucking on
-flash twrp. type this command in fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (rename image obviously) It will flash it to the phone.
-Reboot phone into recovery. Volume down and power button. Release at sony logo or it might be the unlocked bootloader warning. Cant remember. Either way release power button on that logo and keep holding volume down.
Boom your in twrp.
-if magisk wont move over to your sd card in twrp. its time to adb push
-adb push magisk.zip /sdcard
it will move the file.
-Find where you pushed it and install magisk. It will do its thing.
If you followed the instructions your phone should be rooted and you want need a drm fix to cover the holes of the BL unlock. If hit any snags message me or reply here
Thanks for taking the time to write this.
The first part of flashing Android 9 I already know how to do. As I mentioned I my second post in this thread I already upgraded from Android 7 to Android 8. My problem was that XperiFirm doesn't have Android 9 for my device and Android 8 is the latest I could find to download. I would have already flashed Android 9 otherwise
As for the rooting part I will have a look when I'm back at home
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes I understand that. If you want 9 u need to use xperiafirm and get a different region that has access to it. If you use Greece ftf that is still on oreo. Chance is you'll be on 8 for a long time
I'll try and find one with Android 9 then when I get the time to do that. Also pretty busy with work

ce1 matches the europe basebands. that i know is for sure on 9.0
i think i will give a try to a custom Rom instead like this one :
