I think my phone is broken. Please Read.

Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

That's my problem. When I did flash a custom ROM, they all froze, crashed, non responsive etc etc. So this has made me not want to flash a custom ROM, but I want to because of all the perks that come with flashing /:

You have maybe to update bootloader or modem or recovery before flashing. .
Give some details about your actual configuration and the rom you flash...

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?

You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....
You have to factory reset during flash.......

Yes, I have the SM-N9005 LTE. I am now running Kitkat Official 4.4.2. Sorry, but I don't know how to see my bootloader/modem version.
I m running with stock recovery if that helps.

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.

As you already said. Fist of all you need root permission on your device. But because you already installed 5.1.1 via OTA I'm afraid your device is "locked down". If KingRoot isn't able to root 5.1.1, then there is no easy way to get root on your device. In this case you have to downgrade first via Flashtool. Or you could unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel which has twrp integrated. But keep in mind that you will loose your drm keys this way.
BTW: I wouldn't use KingRoot even if it is able to root your device, because I don't trust this app....

Thnx mate for your reply
OK I will downgrade my tablet to 5.0.2
But I need you plz to point where I get my previous Android
And if I flashed it with flashtool all my data will be gone?!
Then I will root my tablet again then flashed this stock in this thread, am I right?!
And btw, why you didn't trust kingroot app, it's working with my tablet just fine! ?

Try this FTF:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...ny-xperia-tablet-z.457524/page-3#post-7918151
After that, use XZDR (TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Use Option 3 from Installer, which will use an root-exploit, that is still available in .230 Firmware.
In newer Firmwares this option isn't working anymore and you need to root by your own first.
And finally flash this PreRooted Image via TWRP or CWM

Depends on which Options you use to flash. If you exclude Data-Partition, then Data will be still there. But booting KitKat-Firmware with Lollipop-Data will not work or at least will screw up everything. So in the end you would need to wipe data anyway. (Be aware that flashing FTF including Data-Partition will also wipe internal storage / internal sdcard)

Well, there are mainly two things:
1. It needs a internet connection for rooting (who knows which data is send to them ...)
2. It isn't always providing a full working root, which is not very nice for devolpers and users, because their apps/packages maybe don't work properly...

Thank you Mcbane87
Well,I already downgraded my TabZ SGP321 and flashed kitkat 4.4.4 with build number 10.5.1.A.0.283 via flashtool like you said, even I got many failed steps at the beginning but I did it
Then I rooted my tablet using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/development/root-sp321-ftf-10-5-1-0-283-t2873377
So what to do next?! and I had another couple of questions please:
1- I am from Egypt so when looked into this firmware I didn't find Arabic language, is that Normal and how I get Arabic language
2- why I feel that kitkat is much better than lollipop and much easier and battery life is much better while I am playing my game with charger connected still battery going low slowly ?
Note: I am using root only to use Xmod for playing Clash Of Clans :laugh:!

I flashed it, seemed all ok, but:
no root, no recovery? no SuperSu in my Apps, I failed to enter recovery. What did I do wrong? what to do now?

you must reflash a rooted Firm(like 230) with flashtool.
Starting enable debuging and install nuts recovery 2.870 with option 1.
Then reboot and hold volume down when the green light on and you are only in TRWP mode.
Flash the 5.1 from sd1 and all was good.

It's faster to flash .230 .ftf stock unrooted, install recovery with option 3 and after that flash what you need from TWRP.

Well it's an easy, I flashed this stock via twrp and I used root checker to be sure that's my tab is rooted but I didn't find supersu!
Is this normal or i did something wrong?!!!

if SuperSu is incorporated into a ROM, it can sometimes be hidden in Developer Options. Failing that, just install it from the Play Store.

In short xposed framework is just an addition to the in-built framework of your ROM. It helps you to customize your ROM for personalization and adding extra features to your device. Try googling xposed framework and keep working on it to get deeper knowledge about its modules and stuff.
But, make sure you know how to recover your device from bootloop and softbrick before installing the xposed framework. :good:

Could be possible, because this is ROM was created from Sony for Germany. Maybe they didn't integrated Arabic language and letters.

Didn't made that much comparison with TabZ, but on my Z1c I can confirm that some things are better with KitKat like bluetooth (only 5.02...didn't testet 5.1.1 till now) and other things like touchscreen response (phantom touching) is better in lollipop. Concerning batterylife I didn't saw any difference.
Well and the design / functions of lollipop are a question of personal liking. I personally hate the new LockScreen and its notification behaviour.
I would be happy finding a xposed module which would bring back old lockscreen on Lollipop, but I'm afraid this isn't that easy....

Well, I am big fan of Sony, I got Sony Xperia Z and I love lollipop in it and btw I have installed stock firmware prerooted as well
But frankly I am preferring kitkat in my tablet it's looks much better and easier
Anyway thank you for your helping bro

Did you try Gravity Box LP and Serajr Xperia™ Xposed (LP)? They will definitely help to change the look of Sony LP. Work good on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1

Xposed question

Hello guys, first of all I want to say that my knowledge on these things is low.
Okay, so I want to install xposed on my P8 lite. Is there a way to just flash a zip or I have to deodex and all that stuff? I'm asking because I have no access to a PC right now.
More phone info: ALE-21, Android 5.0.1, B188.
P.S: I have bootloader unlocked, I'm rooted and have twrp

Download and flash it by TWRP it's only things you need to do, so PC usage is not included.

oh , just saw the post, I'm confused. So, it says its for samsung(ya might also work for us) but which one should I flash?

1. Install apk.
2. Go to twrp.
3. Flash xposed framework.
85.1 v. Because it supports emui, arm64 because that's an architecure of kirin620 and sdk22 because of your android version. I said it's everything there
Edit: Sorry I didn't read your android version right. It will be better if you first upgrade to android 6.0 and then flash sdk23.

SHOULD I upgrade to 6.0? Well I have twrp and I can't. Also in the post you sent I only see its compatible with 5.1 which my is 5.0.1...

Thats right, youre on 5.0.1 like all us EMUI 3.1 users instead of android 6.0 or 5.1 which are the supported versions for Wanams xposed. So if you want to use xposed, i HIGHLY recommend upgrading to marshmallow since if you want to do it on lollipop you will have to disable emui theming engine which might break some stuff and some modules still wont work.

Any good stable ROM's for X Compact?

Hello! First of all, i would say that i am currently running Omni 6.0.1 ROM.
I also have tried CM13, Lineage OS 14.1, Omni (6.0.1, 7.1.X), KEM ROM, AOSP.
What i want is a rooted stock Sony ROM (6.0.1) not Nougat because the lack of the possibility of installing Xposed framework. Any guides and ROM's are appreceated. My device again: Sony Xperia X Compact (F5321, KUGO).
BTW tried flashing 6.0.1 ftf and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but result was a bootloop and TWRP. I am running a stock kernel (and i do not wish to modify that). Thanks and please reply!

use flashtool to downgrade to marshmallow, choose the earliest version you see in xperifirm. (maybe the jounalist rom etc, no problem in using that i believe)

Hi qvmuhuuxz! Pretty sure it's not your real name! If i downgrade, it is ok and no bootloop, but if i try to reinstall twrp and boot to twrp to flash SuperSU it says that it succeeded but if i try to boot after that then there either is no root or bootloop occurrs. Ideas?
BTW tried Resurrection Remix and i was dissapointed because Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Camera etc. didn't work...
JIC i made a nandroid backup so if i mess sth. up it is ok. I had an Galaxy Express 2 with RR and i loved it. Shame
Anywhoo i will try again to just install twrp and boot to system, i haven't tried it yet...

Hi, assuming your data is unencrypted...? (actually TWRP can handle XC's encrypted data with Marshmallow, but not nougat - so if you are playing with 6.0 it shouldn't matter encrypted or not)
It sounds like the problem is SU.
Yes please try to reboot after installing TWRP.
I recommend Magisk, it worked great for me.
Flash Magisk v12 instead of SU and install the apk for Magisk Manager 4.3.3.
I can't recommend the latest version of Magisk because it doesn't work for me the few times I tried to upgrade. v12 works perfectly..
Let me know how you get on. I have working Android Pay, everything is good.

Hi, assuming your data is unencrypted...? (actually TWRP can handle XC's encrypted data with Marshmallow, but not nougat - so if you are playing with 6.0 it shouldn't matter encrypted or not)
It sounds like the problem is SU.
Yes please try to reboot after installing TWRP.
I recommend Magisk, it worked great for me.

Hello there with good news, Magisk 13 worked flawlessly and i got xposed framework working too. I guess there was a problem with the SuperSU package, although i downloaded several packages. Anyway super duper thanks for the help. I appriciate it! I have a question, is there some advanced themes for XC too (MM) that is? I tried MIUI theme but with no luck. Thanks!

Hi qvmuhuuxz! Pretty sure it's not your real name! If i downgrade, it is ok and no bootloop, but if i try to reinstall twrp and boot to twrp to flash SuperSU it says that it succeeded but if i try to boot after that then there either is no root or bootloop occurrs. Ideas?
BTW tried Resurrection Remix and i was dissapointed because Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Camera etc. didn't work...
JIC i made a nandroid backup so if i mess sth. up it is ok. I had an Galaxy Express 2 with RR and i loved it. Shame
Anywhoo i will try again to just install twrp and boot to system, i haven't tried it yet...

Hey,
you posted about having tried Resurrection Remix with the X Compact. Can you please send me Link to where I can find the Rom for this device, as I have problems finding it.
Best, Felix

Xposed for Nougat is out, I upgraded from Marshmallow and have no complaints other than substratum not working on Nougat for Xperias. If you need a working Marshmallow I have my copy of .198 here- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx5gPVuLapkKTU1vOHVsLTMzWGc
Use flashtool 9.22.3 for marshmallow or else it wont work. The Androplus kernel with drm patch doesnt patch drm correctly either so you need to make your own with ta_poc. You HAVE to run a modified kernel to be able to make modifications to system and to be able to boot up TWRP, no way around that. Thats why I build my own with ta_poc using the stock kernel.
BTW STOP using SuperSU, its been sold to a chinese company and is no longer open source, use magisk, you probably want to pass safetynet as well since Google is cracking down on root.
