I installed twrp on my phone expecting to install a custom rom soon after. Come to find out that all the supposed guides for installing custom roms on this phone are phony. There is no rom for this phone, trust me, I've looked everywhere.
I need to replace the stock recovery so I can get ota updates. Anyone with this phone who can post it, I would highly appreciate it.
Even i am looking for Stock image file, can some one extract it from their devices and post it here. All places where ROM for this phone is found is behind a paywall, and i am also not sure if its genuine

Here is my backup , but when I making backup, I forgot to remove my SIM card when i reset my phone and made bakeup, so there might be some SIM card build-in apps, just delete after restore.

I know this is going to sound silly but is there any way to roll back to previous firmware after an update?
yes you can, after the update, if you have not deleted the backup, simply go to settings->phone->update. In there you will see a restore button with a date on it. Hopefully that should work.

The restore button is not there as I expected, the same thing happen to me before where Zune back ups disappear from the default folder you just mention. I know this as fact because the last back up did show up and the restore button was there then one day while checking for updates it just vanished, I was like WTF? So I actually copied a back up from like 5-11 but I don't know how to make Zune see the pks file I tried to use the Windows Support tool app but it tells me "a prior backup does not exist in the proper location to restore to your device". Please help, I don't want to go to Android or iPhone. Thanks.
I'm assuming you're trying to make zune see the pks file, but aren't backups made in .dat and .hash file formats? this is pretty annoying

Yea I know it's anoying; when I went to the default folder where Zune saves the back upfiels all I saw was this pks file, I'm thinking that if there were were a dat or hash file, I might have missed them; in that case I'm out of luck.

Yes Sir, I still have the back up; I'll try your link. Thank you so much.
I'm concerned with the privacy of my data and I want to avoid any accidental recovery from the flash in my phone once returned for rma.
Is there any way to attempt to make the recovery harder? Something that can overwrite the whole userdata and system partition with 0 or any other pattern?
Thank you

I've done a factory reser and i think it already does a zero fill for the entire data partition. In fact it takes a lot of time and i found someone on internet supporting this behaviour after a checkup in the sources for any evidence.
A factory reset done from the android menus (if you have stock recovery) will wipe everything you put on the device (except system apps).

I want only to know if my data is securely deleted. A zero fill makes impossible the recovery without special equipment. So if the android factory reset does also a zero fill I can sell my phone or rma it without privacy issues

A factory reset doesn't go through and obscure the data like that. It removes the table of contents so the files aren't visible to the file system, but the data is still there (as you know). I actually just went through this with my previous phone before I sold it. I formatted all partitions with twrp and also formatted internal storage in Windows but a couple of free recovery programs were still able to find some deleted files.
I just ended up copying my entire music library over to fill up the partition so all blocks were overwritten. After that, the programs weren't able to recover anything. Not very high tech, but effective. You could even make a couple of passes if you want to be extra sure.

I would factory reset the device. Pull the sim and go through the normal setup without setting up any networking or accounts. Once the device is running, encrypt the device. Last, factory reset the device and then send it for rma.

I don't know, but I do know that if you do what I suggest, the only data to recover would be encrypted default settings with no personal information.

So my Nvidia Shield is in route after a much anticipated wait to finally having some extra funds to purchase one. I recall a while back with the most esteemed certainty when I check on the Nvidia shield tab of my Geforce experience was that the card was compatible with my ASUS G75VW laptop. When I updated my drivers today I looked at the shield tab and it said my PC is not ready for streaming to the shield... Evidently by some genius gesture, nvidia decided to make the card below mine (GTX 660M) and the card above mine (GTX 680M) compatible, yet mine the GTX 670M is not. . . Are there any workarounds to this that I may not be aware of or am I just SOL because of Nvidia's genius?
I was actually sent here from the nvidia forums where an actually moderator mentioned there may be some workaround here. I assume there is a way to bypass it but I am unfamiliar with this so called "rooting" process and if there is a guide some where where I can get this thing working I would really much appreciate it xD.

First install any updates for Apps as well as the Shields Firmware if you have not already.
THEN
Download the App in the above link, make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the "Security" section of the "Settings" App, otherwise it won't install, then just tap it in the notification centre or in a file manager, install, open, click "Make It Ra1n", wait for it to finish, wait an additional 20 seconds, then reboot. You'll have Root Access (but NOT an Unlocked Bootloader or a Custom Recovery, so NOTHING WILL BE DELETED!)
If that does not work try downgrading your graphics cards driver, it might have a bug if it worked before.
DISCLAIMER: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BUT THAT IS STILL VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!!!!

The above says streaming with a mobile GPU works if you have at least GeForce Experience 2.0 installed on your computer. It also says that sometimes streaming does not work and that a reboot of the computer is needed.

Thanks for all the great info, but what exactly does that file do for my shield as far as the purpose of "Rooting" it?
Hello,
today i tried to install the C10 software on my Tipo, but after doing it the phone won't start. I rooted the phone, installed the CWM and put the software on the SD Card. Applying the software went smooth, and after the reboot it won't start. What can i do now ?
Cheers

Download the Flash tool for Xperia devices.
Unzip the file you downloaded and place it somewhere on your computer.
In the unzipped folder, run Emma.exe. During the installation, make sure you remember the installation path:
Default path in Windows 64 bit is: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Default path in Windows 32 bit is: “C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Copy the Customization.ini file. You find it in the Flash_tool_for_Xperia_X.zip.
Paste the Customization.ini file into the installation folder. The installation folder is the folder named Emma in the installation path examples on point 3.1 and 3.2 above.
Click Start > All programs > Sony Mobile > Emma (if you used the default installation path from step 3 above) to start the flash tool
flash tool link here - http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/tools/Flash_tool_for_Xperia_6.zip
---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------
Now after installing
(1)
Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
(2)Connect a USB cable to your computer.
(3)Phone: Turn off your phone.
(4)Connect your phone to the USB cable while holding the flash key. Device will be detected and accordingly available software list will be displayed.
(5)Computer: Select the software you want to flash in the Service list. Service refers to standard official ROM for your Sony Xperia device.
(6)Click on Apply Service. The phone will now be flashed.
(7)Phone: When you have flashed your device, you can disconnect your phone from the computer. The first time you start your device after you have flashed it, the boot-up might take a little longer than normal.

First back up every thing in your phone to the PC, cause this rom will delete everything.
Unzipfile in your PC, then go to the folder where you unzip it, there is a sub folder called ADB, copy all content and paste it to da main folder, with the .img files. Next open the one of the .exe file from the ADB, I forget its name I think its start.exe. Open it by pressing shift on the keyboard and right click the mouse, run as administrator, you will run a command prompt.
Then shut down your phone, go to bootloader by pressing power an volume keys at the same time, after that connect your phone to your PC.
When connected go to your PC command prompt, type, flash_all.bat. Hopefully it will flash everything in the folder, then reboot the phone.
But be careful, cause this will delete all you data. So better back up everything.
