Xperia XA NVRAM - Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers

Hello Everyone, I've got an issue latelly with my phone, Xperia xa F3113, I was able to root it and to flash roms via TWRP (The one who is in this forum). But unfortunately I wiped all my data included the internal memory of my device. Anyway my device booted into the start without any problem, but when I Put a Sim inside, it doesnt recognize my Sim card anymore, my imei says "Null" and to make it worst I've got "NVRAM Warning ERR = 0x02" on my Wifi conections. I have read some Forums who talks about this problem, and they said that maybe the NVRAM folder inside Data is corrupted or deleted. And of course with my bad luck I haven't done a backup of this files. So there is someone here Kind enough to pass me his own backup of this files? so I can be able to fix my device. Any help is welcome. Thaks for your time

MENC File Help Needed...

Hello All,
I am having a serious problem with my HTC Wizard and i want a solution for it.
I was running TNT Professional 1933 WM6 ROM on my Wizard then i found some problem with sms notification so i thought to upgrade my Rom.I took backup of my SMS with PIM 2.5 and copied the backup file into my SD Card.Then i removed the SD card and Reinstalled(upgraded) the same TNT Pro 1933 ROM.Everything went fine and the Rom installed properly.After finishing and setting up my device,i inserted the SD Card into my Device and found few files with an unknown extension.The file name were same but with an extension".86e1bece" i.e the original backup file name was 28-10-08 but it changed to "28-10-08.pib.86e1bece".These files shows an icon with a lock in PC and the extension it shows is MENC.
I searched in this forum and found few posts having same problem with a little difference but there was no solution.
I want to know how can i recover these MENC Files in order to recover my precious Data.I need an urgent help in this matter and i hope i will get your replies as soon as possible.
Thanks
Anyone out there????
same hapens to me..anyone have a solution?
I dont think a solution is available for this, they are simply encrypted via WM and its not possible to de-crypt them, unless you got the original handset and its not been hard reset! I have been looking hi and low for this and cant find anything.
I got loads of files that I cant access case I had to carry out a hard re-set.
Apparently the file is encrypted and can be decrypted only on the handset it was encrypted on.
To prevent getting such file type in the future, follow this procedure
Start>Settings>System Tab>Encryption
UnCheck on encryption and after this you will get only normal (Unencrypted file).
Another way is the activesync way. Transfer the file from the handset to pc via ActiveSync, it will automatically decrypt and paste the regular format on to your pc.
Hope it helps

I have just stumble into the same problem. I flash my HD with a new ROM and found out that all my jpg and other files were not readable.
My solution (if you will call it) is to reinstall the old ROM and unticked the encrypt memory card option. You should be able to read the menc files back from the PDA.
After that back-up all your memory card data and re-format your PDA with the new ROM.
Lastly, copy the back-up back into the memory card if anything goes wrong.
Good luck
Thanx alot bro...
Helllo
That works for you?

[Q][Urgent] "Zeus Flash Device" > hardbrick?

Excuse me in advance, for some reason XDA won't save it when I put an enter in this message, it pasted everything into one big text. It's hard and annoying to read. I'm sorry!
Edit: fixed it by typing HTML codes
A few weeks ago I ordered a (micro) SD-card in China, it arrived two days ago.
I backed up the internal storage and external SD from my phone, then replaced the ext-sd with the new Chinese 32gb card, and switched the internal and external memory as per @TeamMex 's thread.
(Of course using the CM10 mountpoints as I was on the PureCyanogenmod+ ROM).
Then I tried to restore my apps with TitaniumBackup, but I found out that the apps now installed on the SD (the 32gb Chinese card that is mounted as internal storage) kept disappearing after a reboot, having me to restore them again.
This also happened most of the time with reinstalling via playstore, and then restoring the data via TiBu.
I figured it might be a disk issue, so I tried fixing the sdcard with windows disk repair, and even linux' "dosfsck", but nothing really happened and the card kept acting strange.
So I was trying to correctly format it via the phone itself, but then it didn't mount anymore. I decided to pull out the card and restore it via a card-reader, hoping that would finally work, so I pulled the battery out of my phone, and pulled the card out.
And now here it comes: I tried to turn on my phone, but it didn't do anything, no led, no screen, no vibration.
I decided to plug it to my PC to see if it did anything, but the phone itself did nothing.
Yet, although I didn't click anything on the phone, the PC started to install drivers, later they turned out to be called "ZEUS flash device" drivers.
As far as I found on google up till now, I've read that means I probably have a hard brick.
Is there any other reason for my phone to list the "ZEUS flash device" drivers or not?
Anyway to restore my phone from here, as it still installs drivers to my PC, meaning there must be some tool that can flash something to it, or is it dead?
I hope someone can help me or explain more of my situation.
Phone: Sony Xperia Tipo, ST21i
ROM: PureCyanogenmod+
PC OS: Windows 7 & Ubuntu 12.10 dual-boot
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Drago

uhmm try using other SD card and other usb port,
maybe ur sd card was damaged since you sent it
flashtools is used to repair the phone, if that does not work you will have to go to a technician to use medussa box
cheers.
either medusa or setool box, setool also has the bootloader specifically for this qualcomm chipset, so you can reflash if you have access to a setool box.

[Q] Phone broken or still hope?

Hello everydody, I am experiencing some difficulties with my Samsung, model GT-I9003-phone which "dropped off a lorry" somewhere next to my relatives somewhere in Asia. When I goth the device, it was in a non-working condition, except a boot-loop and the download-mode. Back then, I had the package of the phone where the exact version ( I don't know if this is what is called "Baseband" or at least is called baseband at my wife's GT-I5003) was specified. So, back then, I was able to find the exact ROM for the device. Unfortunately, the box with the version number now is - somewhere.
After flashing a stock-rom, I managed to enter recovery-mode where I read something about the internal memory being corrupt. As far as I can recall, I then mounted the external SD-Card and somehow managed to reboot the system back to almost normal operation. Even reboots appeared to work normal, besides the fact I had no memory access, neither to internal nor to external sd. In addition, GPS malfunctioned, too.
Unfortunately, even this state didn't last for long time. After several weeks of now-and-then-use, the system just broke down again into a boot-loop. After some time of flashing a variety of stock roms, I managed to flash clockworkmod recovery which works perfectly well. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to root the phone before it "collapsed" again. Besides the possibility, I'd guess this could be a resaon for CWM being unable to flash a custom rom? Otherwise, I'd just test my way through the varieties of versions .
Basically, I do have two questions: 1. is there a possibility to find out if internal memory has failed - and if yes: How?
2. Is it possible to install any version of CM on that phone in the condition it is in?
Thanks a lot in advance for any answers
Hello everybody, I finally found the box . It reads GT-I9003MKDTHL. Is my assumption right that there are no such things as basebands in the GT-I9003 any more and I should be able to flash pretty much any firmware? Furthermore, today I tried to format what is specified as "sd-card ext" in CWM fir GT-I9003 and it gives me an error-message. When I flash "sd-card", my external sd-card gets formatted. So, I'd presume the internal sd is just fried. I read about a workaround for GT-I 9000, where someone installed Androd on a partitioned external SD. Is there somebody who knows someboy having heard about somthing similar working with the GT-I9903?
One step forward...
Hello everybody, I finally managed to get some light into my issues as I once again figured out how to get a software installed and running . It's this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
Thanks a lot to the guy who just posted it somewhere where id could do good...
By the way, I figured out that this software actually includes the Baseband.
As in this version, the original recovery system is running and giving me an error message when I start it without external SD-card, I am now quite sure that the internal memory has just failed as this error message was specified in another posting of someone who had a similar issue with a GT-I9000.
The biiiig "Outch" is, that I am unable to install any CWM Recovery System with that Baseband..This results in me not being able to upgrade the software to ICS, where - as far as I read some troubleshoot-information - will enable me to mount an additional partition on my SD-Card as Data-Partition which isn't possible yet (i.e.: I can't access my SD for storing data or whatever - it's just specified as "not there").
I tried to install the XXKPE-Baseband to be able to go for KPQ which would enable me to install CWM Recovery. I also installed Bagarias CWM-normalboot-image via Heimdall - but I was unable both to boot the OS and to find any trace of a zip-file on the SD-card.
Edit: I managed to install the right CWM - it's mentioned in the post where I've got the firmware from... now, I only have to figure out how to deal with the fact that "officially" there is no SD-card inserted - or, better, that this SD-card is now flagged as "internal SD" - and how that machine can find the zip-file on it
Thanks for every bit of help with that issue
Try Aroma File Manager with Terminal
For SDCard issue you could probably switch them in vold.fstab in /system/etc
Good Luck !!!

[Q] Unexpected Factory Reset after Bootloader Unlock - Data Recovery

Hello xda community,
I unlocked the bootloader of my friend's Xperia Z3 D6603 earlier and didn't expect a factory reset so no backup of his pictures (and some game saves) exist.
In theory they data should still be there, so using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 I should be able to recover what can be recovered.
The problem is this requires a rooted device which it isn't yet.
My main question is: Is this way to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/root-stock-kernel-twrp-v01-test-28-09-t2889794 the one that causes the least damage to the data I want to recover?
Another smaller question would be if there are any tricks to preserve the data (e.g. using sectors that had no data) while installing the tools to root and to recover?
Would really appreciate your help to salvage this situation
I don't know why it was an unexpected loss of data, it says it will happen right there on the sony website
In order to root, you should just flash a kernel.
In order to preserve data in the future, back it up to your PC
PS, you may have lost more than you thought, if you did not root BEOFRE you unlocked you have also lost your friends DRM keys and so you can say goodbye to decent pictures in low light and other DRM functions
Seems like I f***ed up on multiple fronts…
Managed to get a dump of the SD card yesterday, but there doesn't really seem to be anything left to salvage.(Which I don't understand, why would they overwrite the SD card when they could just reallocate the space?)
Neither did I know about the DRM, but there seem to be ways to circumvent the lack of those, will look into that later.
Well, thanks for the help and the heads up.

Your sd card should not have been touched. Only internal storage and the data partition.
Yes, there is a thread about returning functionality of drm functions, is not 100%, but better than nothing
Flash storage doesn't work the same way hard drives do. Often, when you delete something, it's gone forever "zeroed out" by the flash controller.
This shouldn't be the case with SD card, though, and it shouldn't have even been touched when unlocking. Aren't you confusing the "internal" SD card (phone storage) with an external one?

[Completed] Can't access Phone Storage

Hi, Im new here, hope I couls get my problem solved.
I have a Lenovo A369I phone. Sitting at 4.2.2 and updated to the latest version for my phone. Now my problem lies on my Phone Storage. I cant access it on my phone and It says on Settings>Storage>Phone Storage: "Mount Storage"
Even if I try pushing "Mount Storage" it will not work and say "Phone Storage Safe to Remove"
What have I done that caused it:
Used my Phone's internal storage as a bootable usb on my pc and is prolly the reason.
What I did to try to fix it:
Reformatted it to its original state and copied my backup(which is now gone, cause my phone got stolen)
Tried using different file formats
Checked and tried to wipe on TWRP but errors such as "cant mount emmc, blah blah blah"
Havent tried:
Restore factory settings and Im afraid to do it doesnt guarantee to work
Trivias:
I can still access my Phone storage on pc and can still copy and put data and works fine but cant use it on phone.
I cant update/download apps cause my microsd is gone(im only borrowing and cant buy one atm)
Need help, this is my last phone available and have yet to buy a new one. Thanks
