[ intro ]
So I recently got the ZU GPe and have been trying few things... and I messed it up bad so things were not even booting properly
I was trying to get it back to factory settings but couldnt find any direct way and no one XDA had any good info to go by...
finally i was able to get a procedure to restore to original Google Play Edition firmware! so here is a step-by-step procedure (with pictures) to restore your phone to original firmware!
[ requirement ]
a PC with USB cable
latest FULL OTA ZIP (I used this one from this thread)
adb drivers installed
[ how-to ]
[ 1 ] Get into Graphical Bootloader
to enter graphical bootloader you can either use the command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
OR
power down device connect the USB cable to phone before connecting the other end of cable to PC keep the VOLUME UP button pressed
this will trigger Bootloader mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[ 2 ] Get into Stock Recovery
while in the Graphical Bootloader use the VOLUME keys to navigate to "Recovery Mode"
now press the POWER button to select it, device will now "reboot" and trigger stock recovery entry
[ 3 ] Reveal Stock Recovery menu
at first you will see:
to combination to "reveal" the Recovery menu is:
POWER button + VOLUME DOWN (first press POWER button and then TAP the VOLUME DOWN key ONCE)
you will now see this:
[ 4 ] Flashing FULL OTA ZIP
in the recovery menu use VOLUME keys to navigate and select using POWER button
now navigate to "apply update from ADB"
select it!
this will enable "adb sideload" mode in recovery on phone
now on you PC (hope that you have downloaded the FULL OTA and kept it easily accessible) enter the following command to send the FULL OTA ZIP via sideload:
Code:
adb sideload [B]PATH-OF-FULL-OTA-ZIP-INCLUDING-ZIP-FILENAME.zip[/B]
e.g.: if u have saved the KOT49H full ota to c:\ then enter:
Code:
adb sideload c:\830f5fda644bfc55f82a4e01fb5fadae4b64fad6.update_1278-8069_R3C_KOT49H.S2.2052_Final_signed.zip
this should start the transfer process to phone and flashing will start once file is fully transferred
after flashing is complete I recommend doing a Factory Reset! THIS WILL WIPE THE INTERNAL SDCARD AND ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! select "wipe data/factory reset"
now select "reboot system now" and device will reboot! thats it!
you will now be on original Google Play Edition firmware!
hope this helps!
regards,
DooMLoRD
Thank you for this. I had gotten to the first picture in step 3 accidentally while trying to guess my way through button combo to unlock bootloader in flashtool. Glad to know there is a way to enter stock recovery if needed. My investment is already paying dividends!
@DooMLoRD I installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot and connected phone and can't figure why it doesn't show up when I type adb devices.
Edit...got it needed to go to device manager and pick drivers.
Would this overwrite the Advanced Stock Kernel with Dual Recovery? I'm looking to get my phone 100% back to stock.

About the drivers? They were the ones from flashtool folder but had to reinstall them for adb to work. I assumed they were there from unlocking bootloader and flashing kernel.

I was able to pick Android and then Sony and see the Sony ADB driver. I had installed drivers in the past but it wasn't recognizing my phone right now and your post reminded me :good:

I would think OEM relock should work?
I would make a backup of the unlocked TA so that you could restore that and have the data wipe that you get with OEM unlock.

Same process as for 4.4.2 except you would use advanced stock kernel v.2 this time.
Can't seem to find V.2, is that DoomKernal or a different one?

My GPE already on 4.4.3 before stuck on Google boot up screen. Already tried the above method for 4.4.2 but encountered an error of "Can't install this package (Tue Dec 10 14:17:53 CET 2013) over newer build (Mon May 12 11:10:10 CEST 2014)". Any ideas how to restore this phone?

You don't have any backups from 4.4.2? I wonder if you were to flash a custom ROM then try this method would it work? @DooMLoRD do you know?
Another question I have is can a backup be restored to a different device and if so would it put me at risk?
Example... Restore my phone to completely stock 4.4.2 then skip signing into Google accounts and create a backup to share with people needing to restore back from 4.4.3 update.

Also on my fastboot screen it says: FASTBOOT MODE... then all the stuff in white.... Secure boot enabled and lock state unlocked. i can go into recovery mode, restart bootloader, and the start mode. I have no clue what to do... once again please anyone help me.
what were the steps you followed, try a wipe dalvik and if that does not work wipe data cache from recovery as well.
My phone should be arriving today but I don't think I'm going to root it straight away - I understand unlocking the boot loader wipes the phone, so if I do that can I then root later without it being wiped again? (Via the toolkit)

It will only wipe your phone after unlocking the bootloader, not after rooting.
Thanks for this! It will be a nice change to be able to use my Mac at home to mess with my phone instead of always having to do it on my Windows machine at work.

I think you can try restoring to factory mode and deleting cache via recovery mode.

Yeah I did solve it. I had to put in SuperSu first onto my phone and then when i got the option to reboot into recovery i flashed it. I also had to wipe cache and then it was fine.
I also just recently unrooted my phone and locked the boot loader. The toolkit for that was perfect.
thanks this was most useful!
Forgive me for being a bit of a n00b, I've just come back to Android after a couple of years away and it's all changed!
What order should I run the toolkits in?
As far as I can tell, it's Unlock Bootloader > Root > CWM
Is that right?

If you don't know what order to do the steps in, you don't need to be using a toolkit. The first time you root any phone, you need to do it manually. Toolkits are not a way to avoid learning, they're a convenience for the experienced.

Hi, I got a P765 and I was trying the adb command to unlock the bootloader
Code:
adb reboot oem-unlock
and I was presented with the following screen upon reboot
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Now I have a few doubts about unlocking the bootloader:
Is the process harmless. Of course, I understand that I will void the warranty, but is there any chance of bricking?
How long will this process actually take?
I am using the recovery by @artas182x, and I've taken a nandroid backup. Will this recovery be also erased after unlocking? If so, what should I do to restore the nandroid backup?
Is there a chance of the "Security Error" which seems to be mentioned a lot around the L9 forums to occur?
Sorry, but I'm just starting to find my way around this phone.
Thanks.

There are two reasons for possible security error
1.You flash a custom rom or recovery, and the bootloader is still locked
2. Error while flashing with the R&D Tool
If you don't care about your warranty, unlock it so you can have a better recovery, Cyanogen & etc.
Lol, you just don't know how many people would love to be in your shoes right now.
Thank you!!

Yes p760 work with p765
As soon as up press vol "up" it's done. no waiting.
Your backup will not erase. You can still use that recovery if you stay with stock, but you will need a better one if you go with a custom rom.
Do a search for TWRP in the general section Sorry it was in the Help Section, and make sure it's for P760-P768, don't use anything for P769
twrp by Lelus for your model number. Lol
I won't help you find the cwm, but you will need it to restore your stock backups created by artas182x cwm.
Big thanks. Found CWM6 in guide in the forums. Going to try the PAC rom for P760 today
Ok, so I tried unlocking the phone, by pressing VOL UP button at the unlock screen.
On rebot, the phone was factory reset automatically. I opened the menu using 3845#*765#
and checked the bootloader unlock option, but it says "Lock" in the pop-up messages.
Does this mean that the bootloader is not unlocked? WIll I have to do unlock bootloader
using the kdz flashing method by first flashing the p760 kdz?
Thanks

I never heard of it performing a factor reset, but I looked closer at your pic and I see, that's what it said was going to do. The easiest way to check, is put your phone in the s/w upgrade mode. That hidden menu doesn't give out the correct information on every kdz. Flash the 20B euro kdz, it "should" give out the correct information. By the way, what kdz did you use?
CM 10.1 P769
I never used any kdz, I tried it on my stock jb v20b firmware. Should I flash 760 kdz?

Just check by putting you're phone in s/w upgrade mode. Turn off phone, hold vol + and enter the USB cable into your PC. If unlocked, it will state "bootloader unlocked" while in the s/w mode.

So, now i can go and flash roms through recovery right.
@Snow Panda, i tried the exact same method. Though i'm using ubuntu and not windows. I had already rooted using the LGPwn app and installed @artas cwm recovery before trying to unlock the bootloader. Thanks for the guide btw.

So I flashed twrp recovery (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43032385&postcount=7 )
using the fastboot method.
Here's the screenshot of what I did
After reboot, when the led's were blinking, I pressed Vol Down, but it entered the CWM recovery which I had before.
Shouldn't this recovery be overwritten?
UPDATE: I also tried adb reboot-bootloader and the phone just restarted as normal

Will give this a try as soon as mine arrives.. my PC is getting too old and cluttered it'll be nice to do this device from my MAC. Thanks
Will this prevent me from getting the OTA updates? I could install them manually that doesn't bother me , but I had a bad experience when I rooted my nexus 4, when I tried to apply the update manually it didnt go through, it always gave a " operation aborted" message , why was that? Would it be the same if I root my nexus 5?
Will rooting erase my data? I know unlocking the bootloader does, but I'm not sure if rooting does

You'll still get OTA updates as long as you don't install any custom ROMS and kernels.

May I ask what version of Mac OS X are you using?
I'm on mavericks and I get "Root.Nexus.5" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"
Granted I only tested it without the phone plugged in to see what it says.
I notice all the tookits are specific to 1 task.
I want to root, unlock my bootloader and install twrp.
Is there a specific order that I should run the tool kits?

1. unlock bootloader
2. install custom recovery
3. root
Can I do all of that without a SIM Card installed?

You need to go into System Preferences, Security & Privacy, General tab. Click the padlock at the bottom left, bung your password in. Then click the "Anywhere" button under "Allow apps downloaded from:"
I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp but when I tried to reboot the phone so I could add the SuperSU zip to root, it gets stuck at the Google boot animation. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks buddy.
I am having trouble finding and installing recovery for my z ultra. I don't want to downgrade my android. (currently lollipop). I have already rooted my phone (without downgrading). Now I want a custom recovery to install cm13 in it..
I am also looking for a custom recovery. I have rooted Sony Xperia Z Ultra. I rooted my phone from an application (I forgot its name tho.). I want to flash a recovery now. I found couple of application that claims to flash any zip file but didn't work for me. I can try with FlashTools, but I cant find the recovery for my model .

From which zip should I read? Which one should I download? And yes, I shifted my super user to supersu. But how is this useful? What do you mean by "and after number 1".

If you're going to install Marshmallow, you'll need to unlock your bootloader.
If you are on the latest Sony FW, you will have the new recovery partition on your phone (which is only accessible from an unlocked bootloader), why not flash the copy of TWRP 3.0.2.0 found in the Dev section? It will survive 99% of all future ROM flashes, only flashing a stock rom is guaranteed to wipe it as it recreates the partition.

I have my boot-loader unlocked (Checked from here *#*#7378423#*#*) but I cant enter into it. I don't know how to flash without boot-loader. I installed few applications that can flash zip file (ROM toolbox, flashify, etc) but they did not help.

Hi, can you explain it further? Since I'm a noob so I don't know much about it. How can I flash? I have stock recovery and I tried to enter into it but I can't enter. Should I try with flashify or some other? Or computer? How can I flash through computer?

It's quite involved and not for the faint hearted, I can give you a brief run through, but you will be best served by searching the XZU forums for the full answers.
The latest FW gives you the recovery partition BUT NOTHING IN IT
You will need to install Fastboot on your PC in order to flash a recovery onto the partition.
You can only access the recovery partition if your bootloader is unlocked
Not all XZU bootloaders can be unlocked as some carriers who sold the phone made Sony forbid it,
If you unlock the bootloader YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DRM KEYS IN THE TA PARTITION UNLESS YOU BACK IT UP 1ST
Backing up the TA Partition requires root.
To unlock the bootloader, you will need fastboot drivers on your computer
fastboot drivers can be found with Androxyde's Flashtool (NOT SONY"S)
If you are on a PC with Windows 10 installed, you will need to disable driver signing, in order to install the fastboot drivers
You will need either Minimal Fastboot & ADB or the Android SDK with Fastboot & ADK on your computer.
It's a lot to learn, and you will be better off looking through many of the stickied threads for all the answers and help should anything go wrong.

Ok cool but this nokia phone can't be bootloaded into; it's always locked, even if you tick on allow oem unlocking in dev settings fastboot will tell you it doesn't have permission. Whats the purpose of this? Is there some kind of way to get past it that I am not aware of?

You need to unlock bootloader, it is a paid service....

I have not seen this service anywhere, I did see that a page containing this service was deleted due to paid services, though. Regardless, I can imagine only a few handfuls of people being able to make use of this, which is a shame.. I hope in the future some method of unlocking it at home gets discovered, but that probably won't happen knowing nokia.

I also hope, not because $5 is much for it, but I rather do it myself w/o giving my IMEI or any other infos to someone. As it was on Nexus devices.

I'm new here and I don't know much about phones but I'll ask a dumb question anyway. Can't you do something about unlocking the bootloader now that you have a working rooted version w/ twrp ? If the answer is no please elaborate on why not.

@Maherabed1986 Thank you for getting this device rooted. Why does Magisk has Preserve force encryption selected by default?
Is the Nokia 6.1 encrypted by default? I had many Android devices and none were encrypted by default. I didn't know this Nokia was encrypted until I saw it on Magisk.
@Maherabed1986 Thanks so much for your efforts, I would like to contribute a dump of my boot.img for my model of Nokia 6.1 (TA-1045) but the instructions didn't quite work the way I expected, when I attempt to temp boot into the bootloader linked for the Nokia 6.1 it just boots into regular Android and then trying to su in the adb shell it tells me the command can't be found (because I am not rooted yet, of course). Am I missing something? How can I help?
