Hello, I have a dna rooted, I tried to install as described, two types of kernel, but do not make me turn on wifi ...
and when I had the stock kernel everything was fine, what determines this?
Did you flash the modules?? If you did try to re-fastboot the kernel again. I had the same problem and fastbooted the boot.img again fixed it
Sounds like you are not flashing the modules.
Open up the zip for a Rom, inside there should be 2 things. A boot.img to flash in fastboot or with flash img gui. And another zip to flash in recovery.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
in the zip for the kernels, you will find a boot.img and a modules.zip. flash the modules AFTER flash the kernel using the flash image gui or fastboot.
in simpler words,
1. flash boot.img using the flash image gui app in the play store (search it) OR use fastboot/adb. either works.
2. in your RECOVERY flash the modules.zip. problem solved
many thanks ,
first time i've don't flash with image.boot
after flash whit image.boot , it's all ok
some kernel not require this flash mode ..

I'm have an issue with the wifi not turning on (it stays grey saying turning on but never does) all other radios work, just not wifi. I have flashed the boot.img several times to make sure. in regards to the modules.zip, I see a folder but it is not a .zip are we supposed to zip this then flash it? I cant get wifi to run on any rom except for stock. I am s-off if that helps solve anything.

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

If you're not on mobile, you can check out my signature to disable signed driver enforcement for windows 8 and 8.1. It sticks after reboots too.

Is there root only for Baltic ROM? I am on Nordic and I want root is that possible?
https://dl.twrp.me/angler/
So flash, much excite, such new. Wow.
Edit - I know I sound weird but I don't like dirty flashes. I always reboot into bootloader, fastboot erase recovery and then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( I rename it twrp.img for short) then boot into it. I have done this for years on BL unlocked devices and never had a problem flashing twrp. It's just ME, but I think it is fun typing the stuff, and it assures me that I have a clean state and am not dirty flashing anything! Also, on others phones I use RASHR instead of flashify. Once again, personal preference but have had better luck.
XDA Thread updated
And backs up with finger print
^ That's great news.
I tried flashed this but after trying to reboot into recovery got the broken android icon. Reflashed back to older version and it worked. Not sure if I had a corrupt come. Do you have to reboot the bootloader after flashing from fastboot for it to take? I just rebooted to system after flashing.

Just out of curiosity, did you use flashify? I know two other people that it borked the flash also. I recommend rashr. But I also flash via otg cable and usb drive. I'd say you most likely had a bork download. Delete the img, run trimmer, redownload it. And flash via rashr and reboot and respond if it fixed it. Good luck!

Stock systemless root. Used Heisenberg's guide step 10 to update. Saw TWRP 3.0 so decided to try that.

Fastboot erase recovery, then reflash twrp recovery, boot into recovery and reflash systemless root.
No problem dirty flashing here, but the process is a little different than it was on my previous phone where you would just flash it like a ROM...
You gotta:
"Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash."
OP's method seems like the best bet though...

That's cause you're use to flashing zips people make flashable, i'm old school and use img's hahaha "LET'S MAKE FLASHING FUN!" Shutup Gytole...
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried flashing twrp as boot? I also have a thread in the tmobile G3 section and I almost wonder if thats why they bork their phone...lol
Just did it on my girlfriends G3 through twrp and was like, "they totally flashed it as boot...."
Used twrp manager from Google store was simple and easy

I could not find any custom Roms for your device.
I could find an stock Rom for the Mya-l41 trough.
Here is an link: https://mega.nz/#!wKpT1ZaS!CV-2E4sNnUwIurskAdqCDpDawWlZD2UeABtSELk_ffc
That should be an update.app or an flashable zip.
You may get Huawei Update Extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img of the update.app
After that flash system.img and boot.img from fastboot.
Warning. This may soft brick your device.
Good luck.

Does it show an error or anything?
Fastboot flash system system.img
ok, so i found what i thought was a stock rom for my device on some spanish forum and used sp flash tool to install it
problem is, sp flash tool formatted my phone, but encountered an error trying to install the firmware and now my phone wont boot and windows says its not recognised
is there any fix to this? or is my phone bricked?
hey again! i know this post has been a wild ride of me doing stupid stuff and bricking my phone, but i got the firmware back!
only catch is that i'm receiving some nvram error (which i got on my previous phone too. i swear this is the last time im going mediatek), so if anybody has a method that can fix this it'd be highly appreciated
thanks
Hi, Ibxda.
Can you please share with us where you found the stock rom, what went wrong with flashing, and how you managed to get the firmware back?
I have a running system, but I rooted it and cannot apply official upgrades. I'd like to go back, upgrade and root again. I would appreciate the info on your progress.

You should root with Magisk, it's systemless and it should not affect updates. If you want to update you should flash stock recovery. After you updated you are free to flash Twrp again if you want. If you are rooted with SuperSU you should uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk
Hey guys,
I've tried to update my Nord 2 to the newest software (A.12) but every time I try it, it just reboots after a couple seconds and displays an error message:"Verification error". I've tried rebooting it multiple times, without any success. It is rooted with magisk and the bootloader is open, but I don't have TWRP installed. Could you guys hook me up with a solution?
Regards

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it! I've looked at it, but I haven't found a specific update from a.11 to a.12, I just didn't want to take the risk to update with the indian variant from a.11 to a.13.

No need to download the update file from third parties. If you downloaded it from settings, you can find it in your internal storage at android/data/com.oneplus.ota/files
For the boot file instead, you can find boot files both for indian and Eu in that post

Yup, the order is:
Backup EVERYTHING.
Flash stock boot image for your current version (A.11)
Flash update.zip via recovery
Flash patched vbmeta via fstboot
Re flash TWRP via fastboot
Reflash magisk:
Flash the .zip it via recovery (not reccomended). OR,
Download and flash an already patched boot image for the updated version (A.12). OR,
Extract your stock updated boot image (A.12) with adb shell and dd (or download it), boot into system, patch the image with the magisk app, flash the patched boot image in recovery.
If during one of these steps you get back the stock recovery, just boot into fastboot and reflash twrp. Without magisk installed the rom tends to restore the stock recovery by itself.
Thank you for your help!
Worked like a charm!
