here's what to do open that frp video in the original post and use that to bypass the knox check and get into your tab
It will keep on asking you to reset if that happens just restart the app don't reset it
Be quick head to settings turn on dev options and enable oem unlocking you should now have the boot menu in ur download mode unlock it from there and then follow along this guide

Hey I have a SGS2 but its a generic handset from ACG. Its similar to USCC device but my kernel is completely different than any others on the web. If I use ODIN to flash a custom Kernel in my device will it result in data loss or any other harm? I am still kind of lost as to what using ODIN to flash a custom kernel will do to my device other than put CWM and SuperUser on my device.
I would also like to know this. I also have a SCH-R760.
I actually ran through the rooting method, and the Kernel didn't touch the Radio. I didn't have LOS, and I am running Jelly Bean on my device now. You can follow the links in my signature below =]
nice, if you need the stock ever shoot me a pm, and I can get it uploaded.
If anyone is just wanting stock root, it can be found HERE.
could someone please help me asap, im an amateur tech geek and well i tried rooting my phone and i downloaded the wrong kernel and now my phones stuck in airplane mode, no hardware info or baseband info please help me ! DD:
-uscc galaxy s ii sch-r760
thankyou

If you can get it in download mode, do a one click Odin back to stock and start over. For my phone I use EL29. Usually if you can get it to Samsung screen, it is only soft bricked and fixable. Good luck!
Install the Galaxy S 2 Drivers
Driver Download
On your phone, select USB Debugging and Unknown Sources from the Settings menu.
(unknown sources located in the application tab in settings at the very top and usb debugging located in the application tab in settings in under development).
Plug your phone into your computer with the USB Cable that came with it.
Download this easy rooter tool
Epic 4G Touch Auto Fixer
Run the e4auto-sfx.exe (aka Root and download mode placer)
Press E then Enter.
Then press H then Enter on your keyboard then press any button to continue.
Your phone will now reboot into download mode. (green android guy that with a downloading bar)
Download Odin if you don't already have it
Odin Download
Download this Stock SCH-R760 File
Stock Download
Select the PDA Option on your Odin and flash it.
This will restore your device to factory default settings. From there you might need to flash your carrier files into the phone since this will restore it 100% back to factory settings.
If you have more questions I am here to help.

Hey, I have a generic sch-r760. I already managed to root but I am wanting to install a custom kernel with cwm attached. Need to get a recovery on the thing and I'm looking for ROMs as well but if I can at least get a kernel with cwm I'll be on the right path
I am sorry to be 'That guy'... But this is not the right place at all for this question.
If there is a forum for the device in question, you need to go there and ask the question. If not you need to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456 and ask the question there.
If a noob comes in here and does anything on there E4GT from this post, they will be very unhappy.
I have asked a MOD to move the post to avoid confusion.

Thanks, I had been trying to locate the correct spot so I keep doing searches on the model number commenting and hoping someone can help out and tell me where km suppose to be:good:
Thread moved to Android Q&A since it didn't belong in the Epic 4G Touch but doesn't seem to have its own forum.
Thanks for your understanding on this matter.

This guide works great for the SCH-R760x even though this is a US cellular site
Root Guide with CWM and no Triangle.
Team US Cellular posted some good stuff for this phone on their website. Haven't seen any mirrors on XDA yet

I recently bought a new note 3 and was using h20 before so I went and got a sim card for it and could call and text but not get data(it won't save any apn settings), so I looked on some forums and tried re activating it off of someone's suggestion and now it's just stuck in activation mode, so I went to a cell phone store and was told that they did a partial root with a sim unlock and my only option was to flash or I could take the chance and try to re root the phone but if I don't use the same system that was used to do the partial root I could crash the system. OK so I don't know a lot about this stuff I can root a phone if I find good enough information but I've never flashed a phone before so my question is when I re activated the phone did it take away the partial root? The only thing that's weird is I can't save any apn settings so that made me assume it was flashed but I don't know a lot about this stuff,what should I do. ............

First I have to ask, are you on Sprint or are you a different carrier ? The sim card is for international use, so are you trying to use it here in the states ? Before you root you need to get to a stock unrooted activated OS, to flash one here is a link to help with that http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 . As for being stuck in activation you might try removing the sim card and try to activate without it. Have you tried the Galaxy Tools app here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 with this app you can change APN's and restore HFA activation mode. Also sometimes activation takes a while depending on cell site traffic.

the phone came without a sim card so I just bought a h20 sim but gsm doesn'twork on this phone so I'll probably have to use page plus
, is there a way to root my phone without using a computer? My laptop was broken last week, so it won't crash the system if I root it? The guy at the cell phone store said that it's possible I could crash the system since there was a partial
root done before. I didn't see any su files on my phone but I can't see all my files. I definitely need to root this phone, the activation still doesn't work with the sim out and I am just trying to use page plus, h20 ect in the states,how can I get a stock activated OS or get mine activated thank you for your help.

Yes there is a couple of ways. First what OS are you running ? Is it stock KitKat NAB 4.3, NC5 4.4.2 or NH& 4.4.4 ? Is the device still under warranty, KNOX warranty 0x0 (this can be found by putting the device in download mode, completely power down the device. Press and hold the power button, menu button, and volume DOWN button at the same time a screen will come up then press the volume UP button. Read the KNOX warranty, to get out of download mode press and hold the power button till the device reboots then let go.)
First if you are on NAB or NC5 you can use Towel root WITHOUT tripping KNOX here is the link http://towelroot.org/ there is a PC download and a install video. If you are on NH7 4.4.4 then only CF-auto root will work here is the link http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and it WILL trip KNOX warranty 0x1 when you root your phone. If your KNOX warranty is tripped 0x1 ( like mine ) then is doesn't matter just use CF-auto root it works for any version of android.
If your KNOX warranty is NOT tripped 0x0, and you are running NAB OR NC5. If your phone has internet access you can download Towel root or and install. To you use a laptop, download Towel root to PC desktop, then just connect the device to the laptop via your charging cable to a USB port. A box will come up click on open to view files and then click on sd card. Copy and paste the Towel root file the sd card, then unplug the phone. Now use a root type file explorer like ES file explorer or Root explorer go to sd card then find the towel root file click on it and install. Any attempt to root NH7 4.4.4 will trip KNOX ( with the exception of rooting NH7 with a NC5 kernel and then reinstall an NH7 kernel )
Now if your Knox warranty is tripped 0x1, then it doesn't matter just download CF-auto root. There is a couple of ways, first you can use CF-autroot in place of Towel root in the above method. OR with a laptop you odin flash the .tar file in the CF-auto root zip above. Here is a link to guide you through using odin to flash to device http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!

I'm running 4.4.4 nh7, I'm not worried about tripping Knox cause it's a used phone and not under warranty, thank you for the CF-autoroot link, I have just a couple newbie questions, I downloaded the CF-ROOT and put it in download mode but it just kept saying downloading and didn't do anything I pressed and held the power+home+volume down but if i hold the power+home+volume up it'll take me to another screen were i do abd updates and stuff like that so what am i doing wrong do i have tohave a sd card cause i don'thaveone in the phone but I'm going to go get one now. I can use a friend's computer if need be. I don't know a lot about flashing I just know that's the term they use when you want to unlock your phone to a different carrier. I originally wanted to use H2O since I already have the plan ect but my next choice would be page plus but I've never done a flash before so I'm new to the whole idea but I have common sense so I can manage with the right advice, so after I do the CL-root what's the next step to get it setup on H2O or Pageplus? I already downloaded a lot of apps for after the root including the Samsungtool that I found on here which is a awesome app, and again I really appreciate all the help and advice.

OK to get to download mode, completely power down the phone. If the device is on press and hold the power button when a box comes up click power off the phone then wait till it shuts down completely a small vibration is usually the last thing that happens. Now ( push the power + menu + volume down buttons at he same time ). A screen will come up with a yellow triangle on it, next push only the volume up button. The download screen should come up it looks like this.
Next you should have already downloaded the CF-auto root, and the odin files on your PC desktop. Right click the odin zip and extract it to your desktop. Click on the extracted odin file it should have three files in it right click on the top file and click run as administrator odin should open up. Now connect your phone to your PC via the USB charging cable, a box in the upper left hand corner of odin will light up and say COM: doesn't matter what color it is just shows a connection was made. Next there is a button on the right that says PL or PDA click on it a new box will open, click on desktop, then click on the CF-auto file it will open, then click on the .tar file then click open, it should move to the box to the right of PDA button. Ok your all set don't touch anything else just click start. It will take a minute or two then odin will say pass above the COM: box. Now wait a minute, if the device doesn't reboot by it's self then pull the cable and push and hold the power button once it boots up go to the app drawer and look for the SuperSu.

okay I got the phone rooted completely and I've been trying to use the galaxytools app to activate the phone but it's not wanting to activate,I even put in the different sales code that was explained in the "online instructions" and that didn't work, what's the next step to get it to work on page plus? Or can I change the system from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 so I can get it activated?

You can go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. Now that you have a little experience flashing go to my thread and just substitute and flash NC5 4.4.2 with odin here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now once you flash NC5 you will back to stock so you will have to root again, but that's half the fun right !!!

I'm sorry for the late reply, I checked out the thread and downloaded the file from this link "Full stock tar.md5 files for MJ4, NAB, NC5 and NH7 here.", so I'm just double checking to make sure I'm right cause I didn't see one exactly 4.4.2 and I downloaded another one "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5.crdownload" "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip"
so wich file should I use and wich file should I download, I know how to flash now thanks to you but the fear not knowing the whole concept alwaysmakes me double question everything,thank you so much again lol I hope this thread helps other peopl in the future.

Yes "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" is 4.4.2 . Just download file and then extract it to your desktop that will change it from a zip file to a .tar file and then it will be ready to flash with odin.
N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5 is a computer generated numeric representation of the "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" file. The md5 file is only a few KB's in size, it is used the check the .tar.zip file if there is a problem. The 4.4.2 NC5 .tar.zip should be about 1.42GB to 1.5GB in size .
ok number 1 thing i cannot be responsible for broken/bricked devices, lost info/data, the zombie apocalypse, or any other negative thing that may come from you attempting this method. I have used this method to root my developer edition note edge, as have several others, and if anything good comes form this it's totally my fault ^_^ ... negative stuff tho is on you.
IMPORTANT!!!!! if you do not have the DEVELOPER EDITION of this phone, leave this thread now, nothing here can help you it will only kill your phone!!!
ok so this info is on the site already but spread among several posts/threads, now here it is all in one place, and actually in the Verizon thread since this method only works with Verizon Developer Edition of the phone.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Samsung Drivers (download KIES3 from their site is probably easiest way to get latest versions)
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html
Any version of Odin will work.
optional: extsdcardfix.zip i didn't use this, not sure where to pick it up from, look around XDA sure its here somewhere.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. install KIES3 from Samsung official site.
2. plug in your phone and let KIES recognize the phone (grats now you know you have the latest drivers)
3. turn off the phone and enter into Odin Download Mode. (hold power + home + vol down, press vol up on next screen with warning about custom OS)
4. Open Odin then plug in your phone and wait for it to show connected in Odin.
5. place the TWRP file you downloaded from their official site into the AP slot (PDA slot on older versions of Odin)
6. make sure not to adjust the check marks on the left side, Auto reboot and f.reset time should be the only two checked.
7. hit start and wait for it to complete.
8. power the phone on while holding up on the volume key and home buttons at the same time.
9. once in TWRP go to settings, turn off the screen off and turn the brightness all the way down. (this version of TWRP is designed for the note 4, it has two very bright while bars on the sides when used on the note edge that may cause damage to the screen if left on for long periods of time, also there is a glitch with sleep where you cant get it to wake properly so turning this off is a workaround to make the phone never sleep while in TWRP)
10. go to the install option on TWRP and add the UpdateSupersu.zip and if you downloaded extsdcardfix.zip click add more zips then select that file.
11. swipe right to install the files then reboot when done.
12. SuperSU may or may not be installed on the device after this, if it is skip this step and go to 13, if not install it from the market (one of my phones it was installed on, the other it wasn't (i have two of this phone) however since you have already installed the binary update files the market version will update and run fine if it isn't there)
13. Open SuperSU. at this point it may ask for you to update the binary again, if not skip to 14, if it does choose normal mode not the twrp mode. it will work fine then the device will restart.
14. Open SuperSU. when you open SuperSu this time it will tell you Knox was detected, would you like to attempt to disable, choose yes. it may get stuck trying to disable it, if it does just click the "recent apps" button on the bottom left of the phone, click "close all" then reopen SuperSu and do it again. the second time always works (least for me and the others who used this method)
15. Enjoy your rooted Verizon Galaxy Note Edge Developer Edition.
THINGS YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW:
1. I personally had trouble with Xposed and the WANAM modules, specifically my phone stopped taking phone calls and texts (internet still worked fine) havent had time to test it out and see if it was Xposed or WANAM, or even if it was just the settings i picked, if someone wants to do that and let me know I will add that info to this post.
2. I didn't use the extsdcardfix.zip, Titanuim Backup wont write to SD card, however ES File Explorer works with the SD card just fine.
any other problems you come across let me know so we can catalog them here.
I don't have the dev edition, but it's great to see progress. It gives me hope for my regular Verizon note edge. maybe some day.. probably not though.
This won't help the regular edition. This is only possible because the developer edition has an unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately until someone cracks the bootloader and and can unlock it you won't see root using this method. I have read that the note 4 was able to gain temporary root with kingroot latest version but loses root on reboot. That may lead to retail versions gaining full root at some point.

they have gained root on every variant but VZW, so that sys they have gotten by the bootloader so why not Verizon why is it so difficult?
They have temp root on verizon last i heard, and they didnt beat the bootloader to gain root on the at&t version it was an exploit. Im sure they are pretty close, however root alone wont get you able to install roms. Unless someone picks up the safestrap project or something similar Im afraid samsung is dead to rom modders on verizon and at&t.

How do I know if I have the developer edition of the phone?
It will say inder the battery "developer device" however if you didnt order It you probably dont have It. Unless you got a second hand one that person may have had developer edition. But the one from verizon definitely isnt it.

I have this installed on my rooted DE, and I still cant move/write to ext-sd using Root Explorer, etc.
I even tried other fixes from the Play store.
Any ideas?

I'm so confused about the developer edition coz i have one from Verizon SM-N915V unlock and i want to root it .
Is it possible to use this method ?
Thanks in advance
No. Using this method on the retail version of the phone will give you a very expensive paper weight.

Anyone have a developer edition to sell? Been looking around and cannot find one anywhere.
How I know if my device is developer edition? mine SM-915V UD.
SKU: SMN915VZKE
FCC ID:A3LSMN915V
Hey... Any Note Edge Developer Edition owners out there! A bootloader-unlock method has been devised that is compatible with the Note Edge Retail Edition... however, they need a Dev Edition owner to step forward and volunteer some files to be used to generate the exploit. It will cost you nothing.... you run a script to generate your CID, and you use a PC app to back up your aboot partition, which is something all "Developer Edition" owners should have done before anything else anyway. PM me if you're interested in helping out. In the meantime... use the PhoneInfo app to find which bootloader is currently installed on your phone (you have to use this app... it's not in Settings > Phone Info.)
While I'm here... I'll answer this question...

If you bought it at a carrier location (Verizon, Verizon affiliate, BestBuy, etc)... you don't have one. The Dev Editions had to be purchased direct from Samsung for full retail price.
If you bought it new direct from Samsung... you'd know it (it'd be on the invoice, etc).
If you got it used... you probably paid more than average retail, and the seller would have advertised it as a Dev Edition. If you're still unsure... reboot to download mode and look for "Developer" or "Unlocked" somewhere. Also, I think they printed "Developer Device" on the body of the phone, under the battery, on most of them.

Hi, as the title suggests I'm looking for a root solution for the Alcatel Pop 2 (5) Premium 7044Y or Vodafone Smart Prime 6, which seem to be nearly identical. Also would like to know if stock roms are available for reflashing in case of brick. Thanks. :good:
[EDIT]
ROOT METHOD ADDED based on KingRoot, click here!
looking for how to root Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (vf - v895n) too
it was released a couple of weeks ago.
Source code already available!
Source Code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/Vodafone_Smart_prime_6_20150413.tar.xz/download
ROOT available with KingRoot Method!

How to ROOT with the KingRoot method:
1 - Enable USB Debugging and Allow Unknown Sources.
2 - Turn off phone. Boot by pressing Power + Volume UP to enter stock recovery.
3 - Select English, then "Write Protect Switch" and choose "Set write protect off". A message should show up saying "write protect is off after reboot". Choose "cancel" and "reboot system now".
4 - Install KingRoot: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=654620&st=500 or at kingroot.net (use google translate)
5 - Leave Wifi on and run the KingRoot app. Press the blue button and wait till it shows 100%. If your device freezes, you most likely missed a step so just press POWER button until the device reboots and start over from the top.
6 - Check if you've successfully rooted with Root Checker or similar from the Play Store. Optionally, replace KingUser with SuperSu (link to guide below).

Does rooting enable network unlock?
Don't really want to root if I don't have to, and the common unlockers on fleabay have all said they can't unlock, hence now looking at rooting.
Any "decent" recommendations for unlockers that work, within a decent timeframe (9-10 days and I'd have to send the phone to, I was quoted by one!!)!
Thanks all

Rooting my VF895-N failed. I followed the method but Kingo downloaded 95% and then root failed with error 0x0F7F61. Any idea?
Hello!
I am really interested if anybody tried to install xposed framework on this phone? Just want to ask if it possible or not.

I dont think that possible for now, you need root, custom recovery and xposed installer.

Where is the twrp or custom recovery for Smart Prime6?
I am still trying to find recovery, rom etc but it seems that it is not popular[emoji13]
what?
When you plug your VF-895N to PC via USB and start it with VOL+, VOL- and POWER button you will enter something called DOWNLOADING MODE.

any stock rom to flash?
I'm new to this forum and I hope to get some help from the community...
Device:
Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833), Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) rooted, Built: 14.6.A.1.236 , Developer's mode & USB-Debugging enabled
Problem:
After updating SuperSU to 2.82 I had a bootloop. Did shutdown using small red button, restarted using recobery mode of TRWP (2.8.7.0) and did factory reset. Everything works again (WLAN, Apps, SD card access) but except the SIM card which is not recognized. IMEI not shown "About the phone", but correctly shown in diagnosis tool
Already tried:
- SuperSU 2.82 installed manually via TWRP. Works.
- Restored a full backup Sony PC-Companion, no success. Same with a Snappea backup.
- SIM proofed with different cell phone, works
- Other working SIM card tried with this phone, no success
- I blew a couple of times into the SIM card slot, no success
- Flashed the full ROM (14.6.A.1.236, rooted), no success
- Tried another factory reset, no success
I guess, there is a problem with the modem driver for the SIM card reader. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm a newby to root & stuff but I'm hoping, that somebody could help me. I'm very thankful for any hints!
Greetings from Germany!
Not sure how the imei got tweaked by updating the supersu..?
But I had the same bootloop with the new supersu on latest stock rom rooted.
Manually removing all root and manually flash the new via twrp didn't work for me either.
Flashed the old supersu and it boots fine.. so I just keep the update in playstore and don't press it.
Perhaps I will repack the supersu app to generate a unique file signature so it won't show up in play store on installed apps.
Perhaps the simcard got tweaked in the tray when you pushed the red button somehow? ...I dunno. Just a thought.
I have had issues with mine too. The tray is very flippy floppy and have gotten stuck several times inside the phone.
But have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Make sure that none of the options is ticked in "exceptions" so all partitions being flashed.
Do you know how to use flashtool?

Hi SUPERUSER, thanks for your quick reply!
It can't be the SIM card itself, since it works with my other phone. Also tried my GFs SIM in the C6833, also failed. Should be a ROM problem.
Tried to go back to SuperSU 2.79, 'cause that's how this mess all started (updating SuperSU), have the bootloop again, went back to 2.82. Works fine except the undetected SIM card.
Also tried 2 (probably dirty) modem fixes, this caused also loose of IMEI. Went back to my full backup using TWRP, where everything works (IMEI ok) except SIM card problem.
Just installed the flashtool, but it says, that the bootloader is locked. Unlocking it officially thru Sony website (developer.. sonymobile..com/unlockbootloader) requires installing full Android Suite (1.9GB) and further driver installtion using SDK manager. Is this the only way to use the flashtool? Other question regarding the Flashtool: Tutorials say: Copy ftf-File into the "firmware" folder, but there is no folder with this name. I checked the entire flashtool folder tree.
Isn't it possible to flash ROM in zip-format only using TWRP? Should I give DualRecovery a try too?
Thanks a lot! Appreciate your help!

Whats causing your problem is probably that your bootloader is locked.
But I'm not getting how you use twrp and flashing files if the bootloader is locked?
You can flash stock roms with locked bootloader. It dont require to unlock it.
You don't need to download the whole SDK for just using fastboot.
If you need fastboot you can download fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
After install choose the right driver for your togari in device manager to "Android bootloader interface"

Fastboot sucessfully installed using your link, but I have a driver problem. The device works fine connected to the pc using Sony PC Companion oder Snappea. Do I need a different driver for running fastboot? Found "S1Boot Fastboot" in "Devices and printers" on my pc and I'm aware that the correct driver has to be installed manually, just don't know where to get it. Google didn't help much, I'm only found a zip on Sony web, which probably does not contain the one file I need for running fastboot.... Any hints?

PC companion is screwing you over because it has its own signed drivers. Perhaps these are proprietary and don't work with universal fastboot.
If you installed the 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 from the thread I linked AND installed the google driver when you were asked if you wanted.
Connect your phone in fastboot. Then choose the driver manually from a list. Scroll down to "Android Device" and select "Android Bootloader Interface"
You will get a warning that the driver might not work. Click yes and soon the device will be found and your phone will respond to fastboot commands.
If you need all drivers for example the flashmode driver you can download and install flashtool.
Then you get a folder with a driver pack in C:\Flashtool\drivers. The executable contains all the drivers to every xperia device.
Edit:
If you ever need the driver pack from flashtool I uploaded it to mega:

Cheers! Couple of steps further! Drivers installed, fastboot detects the device now, I unlocked the bootloader successfully using fastboot. Device now recognized by the Flashtool too.
How to flash the custom ROM now? Better using fastboot or the Flashtool? I'd prefer the flashtool due to my limited cmd experiences. But I don't know how to select the FTF-file, which I already downloaded.
Don't know how to add screenshots here directly, so I added 2 attechments: Flashtool Main Screen and Folder sctructure of Emma. There is no "firmware" folder where I can drop the FTF-file to.
If using fastboot, ftf-file won't work, right? Zip-Files only?
How to proceed? Cheers, again!

You downloaded the SONY EMMA flashtool. Not the one we need.
The name is a bit confusing because they are called the same.
The flashtool we need is this one. Download it via torrent its the fastest way.
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Uninstall Emma and install this flashtool.
...time for some ugly doodling
When you are done installing flashtool and are met with the UI you will see a main window as in image one. Press this button on the far right with the XF logo.
A new window will open with the name XperiFirm as in image two. Scroll down the list on the far left until you see the Togari.
Select your device. In my case I have the C6833. Now go to the list in in the middle. Click the "check all" button to fetch all updates.
When this is finished you will see a the latest "version number" on every "operator" in the collumn to the right.
Click the stock rom you would like to download in the list that correspond to where you live.
I always download customized DE because it includes the region I live in. Now look at the list to the right.
A list will appear under the "Available Firmware:". Click on the one you want to download. In this case there is only one entry.
Almost all older stock rom has been removed lately so it is very rare that you will find any old based on jelly bean or kitkat.
Anyway. When you click the one you want to download a new window will open as shown in image three
You will see some info. Double check the name is the one you want to download. If its right. Click download and make a coup of coffee.
When the download is finished you can close the window and let flashtool do its job. When its done.
You can see it in the log when it says its finished.
Now you want to press the button all the way to the left. That thunderbolt icon as shown in image four
A new window will open. Select flashmode and press ok as shown in image five
A new window will open and here you can see a list of which stock roms you have downloaded as shown in image six
Select the one you want to flash and look to the right in the "Exclude:" box. Make sure nothing is ticked.
And press flash when you are ready. And follow the instructions following by flashtool when it is ready.
Optional
If your phone is not detected in flashmode you need to install S1 - flashmode driver. You can do so by follow these steps.
Go to this folder as shown here in image seven
Execute the file as shown here in image eight
Select Flashmode Drivers as shown in image nine You don't need to select fastboot drivers. Because you already have this working.
If you want you can scroll down and select Xperia Z Ultra drivers as shown in image ten however this seems to fail in Windows due to driver signature verification.
Its not necessary to select it. Click install and hopefully the device will be seen when connected in flashmode.
For zip files. What you find here on the forum. You flash these in recovery. Not very difficult. You can find loads of guide on how to get started learning how to use recovery mode.
.img files. You flash via fastboot with cmd. Not very difficult either. Key tip here is to don't make typos or you need to rewrite the whole command again..which get boring fast.

Followed all your instructions. Custom ROM flash with (the correct) Flashtool was succesful. Now comes the hopefully magic moment, where I'm gonna reboot and see if SIM card will be detected....

SIM card NOT detected. I'm freakin' out!
Again tried the SIM card in 2 other phones, no problems. Tray and contacts shouldn't be the problem either, because I didn't to anything with SIM card and tray when the problem came up first after the stupid update of SuperSU and the following bootloop. Just pressed the tiny red panic button to shut down and went into recovery mode.
Just tried to use some thin folie between the tray and the SIM card in order to have some more pressure between SIM card and the contacts, failed.
Is it technically possible that a full custom ROM flash (with no ticked exceptions) still not formated the probably damaged SIM card modem portion/driver?
User pintspin has the same problem as above and he is much more into the topic than I am.
Still any hints? Wanted to avoid buying a new smartphone, still love the Ultra C6833 and its large screen...

I will ask him if I can obtain the ones that worked for him/her.
The modem should be flashed when you flashed the ftf file if the baseband portion is included.
This is the one I found in the thread ResurrectionRemix 5.8.3 25/05/17 [7.1.2] Nougat for Togari,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56234199&postcount=16
And this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/aosp-rom-sim-detection-t3185526/post62481536
I know I have used one other way back. It was two zips. You flashed them in a specific order or the phone would not boot.
But I can't find this one.
I uploaded my own modem files. Its the same files that is in the zip above but with the stock rom Im running.
Im guessing it might do something because its working on my phone. And its the same files that is being flash in the above zip file.
File is not flashable. Unzip and replace the in system/etc/firmware. Permissions 644. And reboot.
Or you could do it from twrp. Take a bit longer. Manually delete the three files one by one and then copying the files one by one.
Setting the permissions to 644 one by one.

@SUPERUSER done , uploaded here the working modem patch strangely from a different variant but worked fine... thanks for above help as well.
I can confirm that the attached modem patch is working perfectly fine ... on AOSP build ( 6.0.1 )
(*) @ac845 steps i suppose you already have your system.img and boot.img
Flash the aosp Rom images ( system.img ) and (boot.img) via fast boot OR if you dont have images of stock then just flash any stock rom zip from recovery i used twrp recovery after FULL WIPE OR if you even dont have both then just use Scrubber port GPE for togari 6833 z ultra
don't reboot
Flash the attached modem patch i.e. C6802_modem_patch.zip
reboot to system
on first boot it will take a bit ( 1 minute may be ) to detect and register the sim.
I have finished worked on my rom as well , will going to upload it hopefully today ... its purest aosp stock , can be rooted and gapps are also tested working fine , there is no Imei base band issue as well.

I (partially) understand, what you guys mean, but I don't know how to proceed and thus have to ask more beginner questions:
As recommened by SUPERUSER like 2 days ago I flashed a the .276 stock ROM. The device is of course unrooted now, bootloader open. I don't have a recovery mode (f.i. TWRP) where I can flash ZIPs. What would be the easeast way to flash a ZIP-file in this situation? I could try flashing with fastboot, but I don't know where to get the right .imgs. Wished I still had TWRP though. Sorry for bothering you, but for beginners like me it's too complex sometimes...

Download this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676273
To make it more simple. Rename the file to "recovery" without the quotes when the download is finished.
In your download folder on your computer hold down shift on your keyboard and right click on an empty space.
In the right click menu select "open command window here".
In the cmd. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
Turn your phone off. And boot it to fastboot. Hold volume up or down and simultaneously connect the usb cable to the computer.
If you did it right the phone should have a blue led on.
Now press enter on your keyboard inside the command window.
Hopefully you will see something like flashing and then finished.
How to boot to recovery?
Pull out the usb cable.
Now hold volume down and press power button.
When it vibrates let go. A few seconds you will se the twrp ui.
In addition to super user post above : For fast boot you need to press volume up and then connect PC USB cable when your PC is on and USB cable is connected to it ( you also need yo ensure that USB debugging is turned on ) goto phone setting and you need to press 8 times on build number in your about phone n phone will open a hiden option called developers option under phone settings and goto developer options n under that option you need yo select USB debugging on .

TWRP succesfully installed. Great to have it back!
But now it comes: SIM CARD DETECTED AGAIN after 2 weeks and endless hours of fiddling, reading forums and bothering you guys. You both are awesome :angel: and made my day!
What I did:
1. TWRP installed
2. full wipe
3. installed prerooted custom rom 14.6.A.1.236: Customized Germany (DE), source: https://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/stock-roms-mirror-root-tools-anleitung.559556/ Link: https://mega.nz/#!PoEElBZa!DlejjkTzCZGMXbJR0ZvgTk5i0gNqo4QSM0LIyyRKl1M
4. installed SUPERUSER's modem patch from above
5. rebooted: 1. time no SIM card detected. Wanted start crying :crying:, but rebooted 2nd time: SUCCESS! Broadband of my provider is back!
Now restoring messages, contacts and apps right now using Snappea. After reorganzing apps I'll do full TWRP backup and I hope that this problem never will occur.
During restore app process I'll go to a German beer garden and will raise my glass to you guys! :laugh: Want to donate both of you some money, please let me know how. Paypal?
Greetings from Germany!

Unfortunately it's not over yet!
SIM still not detected very often, but sometimes it does. SIM works for some hours but then it's accidently not detected anymore in locked-screen mode or in the middle of operation, app usage etc. Rebooting with detected SIM works in 1 of 5 times maybe. Restoring full backups doesn't make any difference.
Had the idea that it is a temperature problem and cooled the device down in the frosting fridge for a couple of minutes, but rebooting incl SIM detection works more often, but not always. Beside SIM problem operation is normal, no problems with WLAN, apps etc.
IMO it can't be a software bug since problem occures not generally. Before I'd send it in to Sony I wanted to ask the community if you have any ideas or recommendations?
Cheers!
