If there are problems with the device (requires a password to decrypt when turned on, numerous errors in the program, refuses to turn on), before asking a question in this topic, read theby thispost!
By default, there is no recovery on the device, read the spoiler Custom (modified) kernels.

Important information
Basic terms and concepts

  • BusyBox (bizybox): is a set of console utilities for Linux systems. Essentially needed by programs that require root-rights for proper functioning.
  • Custom (custom) : modification, change (custom firmware, custom recovery).
  • Deodex: .apk system files along with a have 'tied' file with the same name and extension .odex. With their help, presumably, you can save as a place. Deodeksirovanie means that you convert this .odex in .dex (the same file that is stored inside the .apk) and puts it back into the .apk. This allows us to freely replace the system applications without having to worry about The Code, but the main reason was deodeksirovaniya do this operation with the file services.jar, so you can change the colors of all the text (for example, the color of the clock from white to black, etc.) and to deodeksnut services.jar, you must deodeksnut all system .apk-shki. Craftsmen .ODEX removed files from the firmware by writing the information they contain into the APK file, thereby reducing the size of the firmware, and most importantly - themselves now APK-files can be changed as you like, it is not a fatal effect on the operation of the system. This is called deodeksirovanie.
    This is good - in the deodexed firmware, you can easily open the APK file with the archiver, change the resources in it (pictures, etc.) and return the changed file to a place in the firmware.
  • Downgrade (downgrade, rollback) : lowering the firmware, that is, rolling back from a newer version to an older one.
  • Full wipe (formatting, full wipe) : made from custom recovery: mounts and storage ->format / cache, / system, / data, / preload, / sdcard; advanced ->wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status. This will clear the cache, the contents of the internal memory, battery statistics, the system will be deleted.
  • Nandroid backup : full system backup with the ability to recover from any state. How to do it: go to custom recovery ->backup and restore ->backup (backup will be saved to internal memory) or backup to external sdcard (backup will be saved to a memory card). To restore from backup, select restore.
  • Recovery (recovery) : boot mode (analog BIOS on BB). How to enter: turn off the phone, hold down the power button and increase the volume to one vibro. The phone will start to load, the "SONY" logo will appear and the LED will turn green, then you need to press the volume button up, the LED should light up in purple. All now the phone should boot into CWM. From the recovery, only custom firmwares are flashed (in * .zip format) CWM (ClockworkMod recovery): [/ b] custom recovery. Used for flashing custom firmware, formatting, backup.
  • Root: administrator account. What is it for:

    1. Full control over your system
    2. Allows you to change system files
    3. Run special applications that require more control over the system
    4. System backup
    5. Allows you to move the cache (browser / maps / Market'a / games) to the SD card.
    When you rutting the device, you do not lose the warranty!
  • Wipe : reset to factory settings. It is made from recovery: wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache partition.
  • XDA - XDA developers , portal and forum on mobile devices, firmware for them, beauties, etc. Most information and different utilities are written by its members.
  • Zip - ZIP format ; It usually distributes custom firmware or patches, applications, etc;
  • BB (Big Brother) - The usual stationary computer or laptop.
  • Cwm package - ZIP file intended for installation through recovery, for example, firmware, firmware update, kernel, theme, percentage battery, etc.
  • Dalvik-cache - Cache .dex files folder with davik cache (virtual machine in which all programs work).

The nature of the questions and answers should correspond to the subject of the cap, any offtopic and especially questions whose answers are highlighted in the cap will be deleted or moved without warning!
The most important rule - before asking a question, read the cap!
Everything you do, you do at your own peril and risk! No one is responsible for your actions!


Attention! In the versions of the USB flash drive 0.9.19.x, an error was detected that can lead, when flashing, to permanently block the bootloader (if there is no copy of the TA-partition).Repair TA partition.
It is strongly recommended to put a tick in front of the box in the Exclude box in front of the simlock inscription


If the phone is locked to the operator, the only way to unlock it is to buy the unlock code via the Internet!
If you suddenly had the message "Enter the password to decrypt the data of the storage", and you did not encrypt the data, then the memory chip became unusable. The only option is to replace the motherboard when in service; if it succeeds, a flashing it will help for a while.More.
Unlocking the bootloader, as well as getting root rights, does not deprive you of a guarantee.An article by a user who is suing Svyaznoy.

In no case do not use someone else's backup TA, get a dead brick!
It is recommended to update only through Flashtool, this is the most appropriate way. OTA, PC companion, SUS is undesirable to use due to the high probability of errors. If you use official software instead of Flashtool, but they don’t see the update, there is no firmware for your region, there’s no point in waiting, update via Flashtool!
When unlocking the bootloader, it will not work to boot, you need to reflash the device via flashtool.
If an erroneous notification of a new firmware pops up, who has the CWM kernel, you need to freeze UpdateCenter or remove /system/app/UpdateCenter.apk
With the unlocked bootloader, you can not be updated by air (to do an OTA-update). Otherwise, get a "dead brick". If you still got a brick, then youhere the method is not guaranteed, but suddenly it works out!
Do not forget aboutF.A.K.in order to avoid repetitions!

And where is the phone is written? EMNIP "Megaphone" does not support DC-HSDPA + and to the specifications of the chip unit is also stated.

The program costs, which informs about the type of network. Previously, she always showed up to 14Mbit HSPA, and now at the time of active traffic shows a DC-HSPA + up to 42Mbit. And in the phone shows HSPA +, but before that it was just HSPA.

But as it was before:

In general, the support of this technology depends on the region. At least in the Siberian branch of Megafon transition to DC-HSPA + has been implemented inlate 2013. Though I am not there, but why in my region this be? :)
p.s. On the 4G icon in the status bar does not pay attention, this is another prog, which the author has decided that HSPA + 4G closer to, than 3G. Therefore, such an icon included for HSPA +
p.p.s. Here I am found aboutDC-HSPA + MegaFon- "... now the new technology available to subscribers of the operator in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, Murmansk, Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk and Kaliningrad, ..."

"A little bit" about dumps and firmware ...


That is all I will not be satisfied with a folder/ devand so I'll write about it.

Theoretically, it is the replacement Flashtool'a, in which you can flash the radio, core and sistemu.To have all that is necessary for the firmware.

A lot of text
Dumps:

Systems
1.Ustanavlivaem Ruth (in the cap all have)
2.Ustanavlivaem any terminal emulator (google play in their fully)
3.Zahodim there and enter the following order:
su

Then we do a dump.
It is on the internal memory
dd if = / dev / block / platform / msm_sdcc.1 / by-name / system of = / sdcard / system.img

It is on the SD card
dd if = / dev / block / platform / msm_sdcc.1 / by-name / system of = / ext_card / system.img

Ready image is on your memory card or internal memory (all of your choice)

Kernels

We introduce a terminal
su

On the internal memory:
dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk0p17 of = / sdcard / boot.img

On the SD memory card:
dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk0p17 of = / ext_card / boot.img


radio

We enter in a terminal:
su

On the internal memory:
dd if = / dev / block / platform / msm_sdcc.1 / by-name / modem of = / sdcard / modem.img

On the SD memory card:
dd if = / dev / block / platform / msm_sdcc.1 / by-name / modem of = / ext_card / modem.img


All installation steps are carried out under the regime ofadb (More in the header)
Now the installation of ...
To install it, you otdampili (if you have something fly) it is necessary to download and put fastboot fastboot folder in the root of drive C: (the computer).
Open a command prompt and type:
cd c: \ fastboot

What would flash system It is necessary to put your dump in fastboot folder (it is better to immediately put) and enter
fastboot flash system system.img

and wait
In order to flash the kernel , Then enter
fastboot flash boot boot.img

and wait.

To flash the radio , Then enter
fastboot flash modem modem.img
and waiting


How can flash the kernel and the modem out of android
First of all we downloadAndroid Terminal Emulator
1.Sozdaom folder namedflash
cd / sdcard

mkdir flash

2.Kladem files in a folderboot.img and modem.img
3.To flash the kernel the terminal writing
su

flash_image boot boot.img

To flash the radio write terminal
su

flash_image modem modem.img

Is done

I have a 4.3 (Root + cwm) headphones do not work correctly? The fact that they are the work do not, I stick and the sound comes from the speaker, replacing the headphone jack on the other does not helps, helps to reboot, it is very annoying, such as notice on the CM 11, to 4.1 this problem was not who faced? How to decide?


None of you. 4.1.2 On no such notice, please wipe with (Ruth and cwm to do with it - I have neither one nor the other), ponastraival all morning, picked up the phone went down into the subway, put the headphones, launched PowerAmp favorite, but there is no sound. Floor of the car listening to Rammstein: D. I thought clogged jack / bent contacts - nifiga! I thought disabled something extra - did not help. The forum about the reboot honored - yes, helps, but annoying as that for each time the device is off. According to the observations noted that if you run the player, play music, lock the screen and insert the headphones sound to the headphones, but also, a dog, angry. Do not know what to do is direct, there is of course player (Walkman NWZ-443E), but not kosher somehow go with your phone and the player.
I, by the way, on the home pagesavagemessiahzine.comread that the Z-ok having similar problems after refreshed, but they are already preparing a fix that is unlikely to make for our nedoflagmanov.
