Thank everyone who gave newest tools and instuctions. @xBIGREDDx @anggusss @wirebook .
recently, i found some small bugs and had tried to fix.
Anyway, a new instruction will be posted,later.

Thank you so much! This worked for me. I am now trying to figure out how to update to 5.1. Simple firmware download didn't work. I 'll see if I can flash the 5.1 OTA.zip with CWM.

Just flash the 5.1 OTA.zip with CWM, i have succeed and rooted. But xposed i used before didn't work.

Thank you,
I will unroot, go through the formatting process and try flashing 5.1 with CWM. Do I need to boot in between the system.img dd process? I can not remember the error from before trying to flash the OTA. I wonder if it depends on the exact naming scheme.
I'll report back after trying.

[Q] Need Stock Recovery for Rezound

I am S-On and unlocked. I need to reflash the stock recovery to apply the OTA firmware update, right? I cannot find a copy of it anywhere. Anyone know where I can get this? I downloaded the stock RUU and tried to pull it out, but I cannot unzip the file. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks.

flash it via fastboot bud...need instrctions? or do you know how to fastboot.....also the ota you get from the phone isnt the highest update for the phone...dont forget about the leaked global update
You can also delete the recovery.img from twrp or cwm ph98img.img and replace it with the new one

[Q] rooted but can't load rom

I am super frustrated right now, because of the fact I rooted my phone a year after I got it and there aren't enough devs supporting this phone anymore.. :crying:
Anywhoo, I have Unlocked my BootLoader and I have set up my custom recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0 since the latest doesn't work for my phone. I have Access with SuperSU going through the pain of updating the binary. Now, my latest problem and only problem that hinders me from using the Roms I desire is, I'm stuck at BootLoop. My phone shows the HTC logo and then reboots.
I super wiped, I did wipe before and after, I tried all methods of wiping, unless wiping isn't the same anymore from the OG EVO days.
The ROMS, I would like to install is Paranoid Android, BeanStalk, CM Nightlies 10.2, & SuperNEXUS.
I have Tested only BeanStalk and SuperNexus and they both do the same exact thing which brings me to bootloop. The great thing about it is, which is kind of strange but i'm very thankful is that, I can still Restore my phone with my back up! =D
So far I have used TWRP, I don't really feel comfy with using Clockwork. Due to previous experiences, It just doesn't give a clean wipe IMO.
YES, I have S-ON.
Do i really need S-OFF to run these Roms? My phone is updated with 3.17, and everything from the last update a week ago, I believe.
I just did everything within the last 24 hrs.
PLEASE HELP ME! =(
Since you are S-ON you need to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel then the rom

Okay, one more question kind sir.
If this works for my phone and I end up running the Beanstalk or which ever ROM.
Do I need to Run another Boot.img to Restore my Rom from Backup?
Or Will it back up on its on, Because its the Stock rom?
Thank you, again.

It's always a good idea to have at least one backup on your sdcard.
No you won't need to flash the boot.img if you restore your backup.
You will only need to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a new rom for the first time

[Q] Z Ultra GPE back to stock 4.4.2

I just bought a ZU GPE with 4.4.3 (rooted, custom recovery installed) that has a broken rear camera (can't focus, can't shoot).
Will going back to 4.4.2 fix the issue?
How can I flash the system dump (ZU4.4.2.zip) from the following thread? Will it brick my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570197
I am used to going back to stock with RUU files on my HTC M7 and M8 but this is my first Sony and I am completely lost.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Once I get a hold of the nandroid backup file, I can restore from ClockworkMod Recovery and the camera will be instantly fixed?
I used to just use RUU files for my HTC M7 and M8 to go back to stock and never used nandroid before.
Once I fix the camera, do I remove custom recovery and then unroot before patching the 4.4.3 OTA?
Sorry about the noob questions. This is my first Sony device. Thank you for your help!

This is my first Sony since the X10a and I have had it for maybe a month. I have more questions than answers, a nandroid from your own device will fix your own device. Never got answer about restoring to another device, camera only stays fixed on 4.4.2 once you update to 4.4.3 it will break again. Word of warning do not flash any Sony ftf files as the GPe has a different partition layout.

I tried it but the phone wouldn't take it because of the version check. I wish there is a patched version.
Btw, what does the 4.4.3 OTA do that breaks the camera? Is it the unlocked boot loader or the presence of custom recovery at the time of update?

I think those are all the partitions, and no one has determined why some people end up with broken cameras on update. I wouldn't try any ZU stuff only GPe ( some of them like system may not brick your phone but then you have frankenfirmware) anyways I am out for the night and phone is going dead, I'll check back tomorrow.

Sorry if I wasn't clear I will try to pull 4.4.2 system img. and boot img. So you could fastboot them per DooMLoRD suggestion. I still am not clear if my nandroid would work on your phone or whether it would put my info at risk. But first thing I am going to try just to satisfy my own curiosity is update to 4.4.3 then flash a boot img. with flashtool, flash custom ROM then try to restore to 4.4.2 using stock recovery and adb. If that works it will be a route for everyone that needs it. I suck at communicating my thoughts into a post but will be willing to help make a guide if it works.
Easy enough to remove the version check in the 4.4.2 ota, and I'm sure that it would then install with only a error on patching the bootloader.
Maybe you should move this to the gpe section so doomlord might see it sooner

@blueether I am at 4.4.2 GPe right now with advanced stock kernel, DooMLoRD posted stock kernel in a flashable zip that we can get boot img from I assume. Now I need to know how to pull the system img and we should be able to get some progress. My idea of trying to go to custom ROM to get back to stock is probably not the best option for someone only needing to downgrade to get camera back.

[ROM][ROOT][SHV-E160S] Is it possible to update from JB 4.1.2 MJ1 to JB 4.1.2 MH2??

Hello guys!
I just wanted to ask if it is possible to update Galaxy Note SHV-E160S 32GB Internal from JB 4.1.2 MJ1 to JB 4.1.2 MH2? The phone's build # is E160SKSJMJ1. I want to root the phone using Tegrak's but I cannot seem to find any build that is compatible with MJ1. I hope someone can help me here.
Thanks!
That would actually be downgrading. Shouldn't be a problem through in that case. Since it's the same Android version and the bootloader isn't locked, there shouldn't be a problem. Not sure why you wouldn't try the method I suggested on your other post, but whatever works for you.

Hi es0tericcha0s, since I'm a noob to this rooting process I'm still confused if TWRP can be used to root the phone. If it can, I shouldn't be needing to downgrade the FW and just use TWRP to root it?

[Guide]Huawei Ascend XT - How to update from any version up to B180 after rooting

I'll try and keep this short and to the point. If you unlocked your bootloader and flashed TWRP and SuperSU, theirs a Good chance your phone will not return to stock and take OTA updates. Many of us have tried but for some reason the updates just fail.
Well we are lucky and someone captured and posted the 3 known updates and I'm going to show you how to flash them
New ~ All in One ~ update Instructions in Post 2
We now have a new way to do this, So the information below is just for information sake So bare with me while I get the Guide updated...
Other Files you may need​
H1611.TWRP.New.img <<- This is the New Twrp by yuweng I Highly recommend everyone use this Version
minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.1_setup.exe
Huawei_Android_phone_drivers(1).rar
I have been working on this for some time and I now have an ALL in One Flash solution
This will allow you to flash a Single Rom to Update or Downgrade your firmware and Rom
As with any firmware update or downgrade I'm not responsible to what happens to your phone you do this at your own risk
(rest assured I have tested all these files and my phone is fine)
The Flash instructions are the same as any rom flash on this phone
Step one is to Boot to the bootloader and boot H1611.TWRP.New.img
fastboot boot H1611.TWRP.New.img
Swipe to allow modifications to System
then choose Mount and check system and cust
Select Storage Micro SDcard
Next is install and choose your Bxxx_Full_Update.zip
Swipe to flash
Reboot
That's really all their is too it, Just choose the File below that you want to update or downgrade too
Note: The phone always loads the AT&T logo and reboots the first time and then loads normally
First boot will take you to the setup screen if you formatted data
Another thing i noticed while test flashing these files is that the Data partition becomes Encrypted after the flash
This means before you can restore a data backup or flash a Rom like CleanRom (it includes data) you'll need to Format Data to UN-encrypt it
Also some roms may need to have SuperSU flashed after the Rom or the phone may not boot the first time after the upgrade.
AS Always make a complete backup of your phone before you start any flashing
Downloads
~New~ B180_Full_Update.zip
Note about B180 - If you have no wifi or the phone won't boot simply extract the boot.img from the rom and flash it with TWRP (Install Image) or fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) also the AT&T Logo is missing for now but everything else works
Thanks To @madvane20 Download >> B170 Stock Full Update with Firmware
B160_Full_Update.v2.zip
B150_Full_Update.zip
I had to make B140 into 2 flashes but it works the same just copy both files to your phone and Flash A then B
B140_Full_Update.A.zip
B140_Full_Update.B.zip
B130_Full_Update.zip
​
Huge thanks to @madvane20 for helping with the partition layouts and testing and to @worstenbrood for the Huawei Update Extractor tool
Where do I start if I have B140 rooted on my XT? Maybe some numbers or section titles would help answer that. Thanks .

You start at the 2nd half of the updated guide B140 to B150
the process is the same no matter what version your on
So I should start with B130 stock files even though I'm in B140 rooted right now?

Yes, I have them, am working on zipping some of the larger files, then will upload to drive or dropbox, since I don't have developer access to afh yet.
Only think I forgot to do was get the post-root backup in TWRP. If you need that, I've already asked my cousin to perform the backup, I'll ask her to zip and upload them to me.

Thanks ... I'll post the files to my AFH account if you can share them through google or dropbox ..etc
If you request developer access, it doesn't take that long to get it ........ a few hour maybe if I recall correctly .

All the files are uploaded for your B140 to B150 update...
I'll be updating the guide soon.
The steps in a nutshell are
flash your stock B140 system/boot/recovery and stock b140 /cust
force flash the dload/update.app for b150 with the dialer code
boot TWRP restore stock B150 system and dd the B150 /cust
Flash SuperSU and Factory Reset (< optional)
reboot system and it boots to a clean B150

Guide is updated !
Has anyone been able to follow the OP to get up to B150 from either B140 or B130? Or even B130 to B140? Thanks!

Be careful upgrading from B130 to B140. Went from stock non-rooted B130 to B140 using the SD card update method and hidden menu. While it went through the update process without reporting an error but after auto reboot it still showed the same version but lost WIFI functionality, mac address showed mostly 00s and can't restore full backup from TWRP without errors on /data, etc.
Anyone know if there are .img equivalent of 2017-01-26-H1611.B130.stock.complete to attempt restore from either fastboot flash or dd?
