[ROM] LT15a_U.S._Generic_4.0.2.A.0.42_CDA_1249-7057

Hi All,
You can download the ftf file on hotfile. This is the generic 2.3.4 for LT15a. Flash with flashtool. Then root from HERE.
Like it? Please hit the "Thanks" button!
EDIT 27-10-11
I have uploaded the firmware again with all the proper files. It was missing the loader.sin file. Now, this has been fixed and the ftf file can be flashed with the Flashtool.

This does not work here, the ftf file is named incorrectly. It appears to be missing a simlock.ta file that all my other generic firmwares have, and it fails to flash immediately. All the other firmware versions I have tried have been ok with flashtool.
This is not, please check.
Relevant error.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I have fixed the issue and uploaded the new firmware with all the proper files. Enjoy!

Turn on WiFi and then go to Settings --> Sony Ericsson --> Internet settings. The phone should download the settings automatically for your carrier.

Yes, this will also work for you. Or you can use any of the ROMS here or here. But, any ROM will work fine for you.

Bugfixes and more responsive, that's it.

Do I need to unlock bootloader to flash this?
I have Middle East phone. I want to have Arabic input language in my keyboard, Can I use this or should I wait for the official release to my region?

No you do NOT have to unlock your bootloader (because it is not a custom ROM) but you can only flash it if you already have an open recovery (TWRP, Philz Touch Recovery etc.)
btw you can install any input language on android

Yes I'm already rooted on 4.4.2 and I've TWRP recovery.
Should I flash it directly using recovery? I don't have a SD card. Can I put it on Internal memory or external USB flash memory and install it?
I'm sorry I'm kinda a beginner. I know a lot about iOS but I'm new to Android.

Would this work for any Z2 in all regions? I brought my Z2 from expansys and apparently mine is based in Germany by Vodafone.
I have a TWRP backup if something goes wrong but I like to know if there will be any other complications that my 4.4.4 stock backup can't fix. Thanks in advance.

You just have to ensure that your phone is D6503, not D6502.
And as far as I know, recovery isn't working on Lollipop yet. So once you flash this, you won't be able to easily restore your KitKat backup, unless you downgrade to KitKat ROM and go through the process of rooting and installing recovery.

would you be so kind to detail what you did in order to achieve dual recovery? did you use prf creator?

I think it only shows that the NDR Utils app works, but you can't enter or reboot into the actual Recovery yet.

Can you please specify what the issue is? Don't have time to look it up; I've skimmed through the thread and the general response is "it doesn't work right now". Like how? It won't boot up when you try to go into recovery?

Fyi if you want to get back to 4.4 and you have an unlocked bootloader all you need to do is flash the 4.4 boot.img (with recovery), boot into recovery and restore your backup.
Obviously the phone will bootloop if you try and boot it.

Has anyone else tried using Link2SD with this firmware (I'm talking about the application not the built-in feature in the OS) and encountered the following error: "Mount script error Mount script cannot be created. mount: Operation not permitted". I've recreated the second partition of the SD card and have made sure that Link2SD has the appropriate rights in the SuperSU. The issue still persists. Had no similar problems with Link2SD in KitKat.

TBH if you don't have time to look it up, you probably haven't got time to fix it when **** happens, so take a chill pill and wait until you have got time or it all gets sorted.

Want to make sure I'm alright before flashing up a version.

Hello,
I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 AOKP with a different kernel with CWM recovery and I want to return to stock touchwiz. I'm using a SM-N9005 (hlte)
Only problem is I cannot find a 4.4.4 stock touchwiz rom for my phone. So I headed to Sam Mobile and found some stock ROMS however they are Android Lollipop I think. So I downloaded this ROM:
http ://bit .ly/1Pkq933 and my question is can I just wipe and flash it, or will that screw my phone seeing as i'm going straight to Lollipop from KitKat??
Thanks in advance.
I don't know how to attach pictures so heres an imgur link to my "About Phone" screenshot, because I probably made a mistake somewhere: i.imgur .com/DzQCDpE. png
Sorry if working around the link filter is against a rule but I'm pretty bad at explaining things so a picture would hopefully eliminate the possibility of screwing up because of my own stupidity.

Thanks for helping Joku1981, it really means a lot. My CSC is OPS, if this has something to do with optus I dont know, as I use an Amaysim SIM card and it works
Thanks so much.

1. Backup all your internal data to your pc (pics, folders, etc).
2. I recommend you use TWRP than CWM.
3. Wipe all (system, data, cache and dalvik).
4. Download, unzip and flash this firmware via ODIN in DOWNLOAD MODE then.

Thanks, but could you please refer to the original creator and give him credits for his work?

Any bug or something missing?
Some specific tips for flash?
Imei and 4g are ok?
Sorry for my interview

Everything seems to be working fine, flashed it yesterday. IMEI is OK, 4G should be working as well as this is stock. There are no specific instructions you need to adhere to, the ROM comes with an aroma installer which guides you through the installation process. DO NOT select the option for deleting EFS if calling etc. worked fine previously!
Simply back up EFS and proceed as if you were installing any ROM. GApps are included, no need to flash.

That is the twrp Oreo ota by Nzedpred. You can find that same link you posted here including all the information about how to flash it at this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/twrp-flashable-soak-test-oreo-t3827913
You should close this thread because is useless

Cannot find SM-G800F stock kitkat FW anywhere

Hello all,
I've looked high and low for this FW in order to restore an adb backup and retrieve some data.
Can anyone point to a resource I haven't checked yet?
so far I've had no luck at:
http://updato.com/
https://www.sammobile.com/
http://samsung-updates.com/
all are either missing the 4.4.2 fw or have dead links.
Any help?

of course!
so of course right after posting this I find a working link of the OFW,
Flashed it with odin and works,
link is here https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G800F/
