Oh no ....I do everything what is written here and it still doesn`t work:
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
MAY be it is point 4 - I copy the ruu file into the directory where the hardspl is - is that wrong ?
Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
Could someone pls provide both files in one - the hardspl and the ruu which have been always together for other devices ...
i need your help how to turn the phone to its original condition??!?!?!, no new spl and the original OS???
please help me my phone is stuck all the time and do restarts and i can't use it at all!!
thanx
Please follow these steps to restore back to your stock ROM version:
1. First, be sure to restore your stock OS, and then the stock radio. The Stock SPL is always to be done last!
2. Download your choice of a stock spl package from the link shown below. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)
3. Also download the original hardspl from the link shown below.
4. Run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. Just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
5. The SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
6. Continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
7. To verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!
that's it.
Please refer to the following link for more information and the necessary files you will require to re-flash back to Stock (see and read the last section of post #1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217

p.s. also remember to flash back to the original Radio version of the phone, if required.

Hello
I got a new XperiaZ, because i dont like Apple anymore (too Flat).
Well.
I have root the Device, install the Recovery.
That all work perfekt on my unlocked Bootloader.
I wipe all, factory reset,.....
I trie to flash this Miui-Rom, but averytime i flash with the Recovery (no Errors), the Device, dont boot anymore.
So i must flash the stock-Rom again and make the procedure from beginning.
What im doing wrong?
-
Edit:
Dont boot whit the stock-kernel and also "Z-DooMKernel-v08.zip" - averytime the same.
At the and from flashing the Recovery tells me 2 Questions, i click yes.
Than it shot down, and dont reboot.
Can someone help me please?
Tne instructions for installing Miui on locked bootloaders is fairly intricate. You should try flashingna different rom if you havent yet, (like Rom Aur, or basic deodexed stock) and see if you can get those to work. If those fail on you as well then the issue is most likely that you need a different recovery version (or possibly arent wiping right in recovery?) then move on to the roms with multistep install processes.

After flash my phone again, and again, i think i now the problem:
In some device it can be open, in others not, right? (*#*#7378423#*#* - yes/no).
But by default the Bootloader is closed, rigtht?
I think i understand.
(But with a unlocked bootloader my problems are in the beginning).

Yeah the hidden menu should show the bootloader as locked, and whether it is unlockable. However its simpler than that even: if its tmobile brand or device number 6606 than its locked and not unlockable. Other brands, 6602s and 6603s should all be capable of unlocking.

Yes,its a 6603, and it show me: unlockable.
Now i been tried to flash in "Bootloader-locked-mode", but after point 7.) Boot into CWM & flash the MIUI 3.9.7 ROM .zip:
it stops at 95% (permissions) and go to bootloop.
I dont wanna unlock my Bootloader at the moment.
Damn
Code:
For Locked Bootloaders follow this guide from @kevev
1.) Read through all of these instructions before proceeding!
*****All .FTF files are flashed using Flashtool.*****
*****These .FTF files will NOT flash a baseband because we need to keep the stock radio bands.*****
*****If you flash an incorrect BASEBAND you may loose LTE or all radio functions!****
*****I have included the .166 T-Mobile US C6606 Baseband .FTF in case someone needs it.*****
2.) Place All MIUI ROMs zip files on the external SD card.
(This is important as later on you may have issues placing files here after flashing the first ROM.)
3.) Flash this rom:
C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic ES_NO_BASEBAND.ftf
4.) Root the device:
Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
Notes:
When you boot after flashing the NL .FTF kernel file go into settings --> About
Tap on "Build number" a bunch of times till you see this on the screen "You are now a developer".
This will allow you to enable "USB Debugging" in the "Developer Options" settings menu.
Also enable "Unknown Sources" in "Security" in settings menu.*****
Ignore the fact that your SD card will not mount. That will be fixed after MIUI is installed.
5.) Install dual recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Notes:
When running the .bat file enter "1" for SuperSU.
When you see this message "Look at your device and grant supersu access" you may not see
the supersu window on your device if you previously allowed access.
6.) set "vanilla" cwm as default instead of Philz recovery:
Do this by going to sdcard1/XZDualRecovery/XZDR.prop and change the line "dr.vanilla.cwm=false" to true
7.) Boot into CWM & flash the MIUI 3.9.7 ROM .zip:
a.) Shut down the device.
b.) Power on the device.
c.) Press Volume Up when you see the Green LED.
c.) "wipe data/factory reset"
d.) "advanced" --> "wipe dalvik cache"
e.) "install zip" --> "choose zip from /storage/sdcard" --> "miui_l36h_lockbl_3.9.27_498ecdaeac_4.1.zip
f.) Reboot.
g.) Select "Yes" on the "Disable Recovery Flash" screen. The device will reboot.
*****You will have only a blank screen after the black "Sony" screen. This is OK. Continue to next steps.*****
8.) Boot into flash mode and flash .253 kernel:
a.) Keep USB plugged in and open Flash Tool.
b.) Hold Power + Volume Up until the device reboots(Screen goes blank) and release buttons.
c.) Quickly Hold Volume Down until you see "Device connected in flash mode" in the Flash Tool window.
*****If you do not press Volume Down quick enough the device will bootloop again.*****
d.) Flash C6603_10.1.1.A.1.253_Generic DE_KERNEL_ONLY.ftf (Do this quickly as the device may reboot randomly!)
e.) Reboot.
f.) After booting up and moving through the initial MIUI setup menus, wait 5 minutes before proceeding to the next
steps.
9.) Boot into CWM & flash the latest MIUI-Z ROM .zip just like you did the 3.9.27 version:
a.) Flash the .zip
*****Make sure to select "Locked Bootloader" in the Aroma Installer which starts after begining flash!*****
(You can install the "Beats Audio" mod if you wish.)
*****You will have only a blank screen after the black "Sony" screen. This is OK. Continue to next steps.*****
b.) Reboot.
c.) Select "Yes" on the "Disable Recovery Flash" screen. The device will reboot.
10.) Boot into flash mode and flash .67 kernel just like you did the .253 kernel:
a.) After flashing the kernel Reboot.
b.) After booting up and moving through the initial MIUI setup menus, wait 5 minutes before rebooting again.
c.) Enjoy MIUI!
MIUI Update Instructions:
1.) Boot CWM & Flash the latest MIUI-Z ROM .zip:
a.) Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache.
b.) Flash .zip .
c.) Reboot.
*****No need to flash the .67 kernel*****
Here is all you need thx again @kevev
I got it
But dont ask how exactly: eek:
Had the meantime it the Chinese version, with pre-flashed 253er kernel.
Then again, dual recovery (unchanged XZDR.prop), wipe, Flash the Rom, kernel 2.67 afterwards (ALL WITH TWRP - not CVM).
In any case, she is now running, uff.
Have I kept to about half of the manual.
In between, was nothing more thought .... over and done with.
and ... all without BLunlock.
A beautiful ROM.
Ciao
I have bought a new SP, and gave my last one to my wife, so I have a chance to start fresh.
I can't stand the bloating on the phone, and would like a light, fast lollipop ROM on it that still lets me use Sony's photo apps if possible. This one seems right for me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-sabermod-t3219230).
The problem I am experiencing is that when I go to various builds, I am having trouble understanding the instructions, and how to do what they are asking. I understand that I need to break the bootloader first, and then do something after that, and then install drivers, etc.. but I feel like a bit of an idiot because I just don't get it.
The instructions for one that I was thinking of putting on reads as follows :
* place the phone in fastboot mode, and flash the boot.img from the latest build: sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
* enter Cyanogen Recovery
* flash the TWRP zip you downloaded via Cyanogen Recovery.
* shutdown and reboot into TWRP recovery.
* wipe/format /system /data /cache /dalvik.
* flash latest available build, and flash gapps.
* reboot and you're done.
Questions
- How do I flash the boot.img from the latest build? What is boot.img? What does "sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img " mean?
- How do I enter Cyanogen Recovery? What is it? Where do I get it?
- How do I flash the TWRP zip?
I could go on. I really need a step by step guide, or some systematic way to educate myself.
Can you suggest a ROM with a step by step guide, or one with a youtube video showing how it is done (walkthrough) or similar?

Use this Guide to understand about Custom ROMs, Bootloaders, Flashing ROMs, Kernel and Recovery. Specific to Xperia SP.
Take your time to read, if didn't understand something, search for it on Google, you'll understand things
There are many more generic device Guides, but this Guide is Specifically for our Device.
Once you read the guide, then you'll understand the Instructions given in any ROM thread.

make backup of drm partition, unlock bootloader then start flashing roms
There maybe a number of reasons to go back to the stock ROM. We do not discuss them here
But what to do if you flashed something, wanting to go back to stock, and did not brick your Realme X2 yet? Here is super quick howto guide. There are other possible ways and sequences to perform the task, but the one listed below is tested.
The same procedure applys for a case when you want to downgrade you phone (when its bootloader unlocked). Say, current custom ROMs are based on ColorOS 6.1/Android 9 vendor contents but you have realmeUI/Android 10 already. In order to try one of those custom ROMs you should downgrade to the latest Android 9 stock firmware first.
The essential part of the customized phone is custom recovery. Currently Realme OZIP file does not contain stock recovery inside. It is being generated as explained below, in the post #2, see EDIT3. It means you need to find somewere PROPER stock recovery corresponding to your ROM to put it back. See Realme X2 stock recovery links below, post #2, EDIT4.
Which stock recovery to use? The one for your model and which version is not newer than the ROM version you are flashing. For example, you need A.17 stock ROM for CN model (RMX1991). Then any recovery of A.12, A.14, A.16, A.17 for RMX1991 will work for you.
Download and unzip the stock recovery partition image from the next post, this will be a file like rmx1991-sde20-stock_recovery.img.
Download stock ROM ozip file (for example, from here). Put it to a SD card with a filesystem which supports files more than 2GB (ext4 works fine. Stock recovery, but not ColorOS, supports it). Put the SD card into the phone.
Start (reboot) phone into fastboot mode
From a computer perform fastboot flash recovery rmx1991-sde20-stock_recovery.img
From the fastboot mode by means of volume buttons select 'Recovery mode' and push Power button
From the stock recovery select language needed (there are three only), then 'Install from storage device', then 'From SD card', tap the OZIP file with your ROM
When the update process is done, phone reboots. Most likely, it will not be able to boot normally because you need to wipe out data. Either help the phone with keeping Vol Down button pressed during reboot, or it will boot recovery by itself. Now wipe data (confirm by entering random 4-digit code), select 'Format data'. Phone will reboot
Here it is. Enjoy (or sell your Realme X2 with its shiny stock experience...
If you want to lock bootloader after all above mentioned steps (you have to make them all unless you wanna get a brick ), boot fastboot mode, perform fastboot flashing lock. This will wipe your data again. Then optionally lock 'OEM Unlock' option in 'Developer Options'. Even further, you can install In-DepthTest.apk and sign out from In-Depth Test program.
2022-12-25 EDIT: For downgrade from Android 11 to 10 read this post
I have found out that in fact stock recovery does not exist as a prebuilt file It is being created by the script /system/bin/install-recovery.sh on a basis of stock boot partition and a patch file /system/recovery-from-boot.p
It means in theory you can recreate stock recovery having only Realme ozip file.
EDIT1 The command to do it in Linux shell is
Code:
bspatch boot.img selfmade_stock_recovery.img recovery-from-boot.p
Cool! Tested.
EDIT2. For the current moment when unlocked bootloader breaks fingerprint sensor: as soon as the bootloader is locked again, fingerprint starts functioning as it should.
EDIT3 Becomes clear that each ROM release has its own stock recovery which is generated automatically on the basis of boot.img and recovery-from-boot.p . Not only boot.img is being changed each release, but recovery-from-boot.p is changing as well. If the wrong stock recovery is installed, you might not be able to decrypt data and connect to WiFi from within recovery. Seemingly it may bring you serious problems if locking back bootloader (thus bricking the device). Good thing (as I understood, but not checked yet) is that after flashing stock ROM with a help of a stock recovery next reboot should replace your stock recovery with an up-to-date version of it. So to be on a safe side make sure that you rebooted to system and that your recovery reflashed by the system before you lock bootloader.
EDIT4 In order to combine everything in one place:
Stock recoveries for RMX1991 (China version): here
Stock recoveries for RMX1992 (India version): here
Stock recoveries for RMX1993 (Euro version): here
EDIT5 In later ROM releases patch and script files are relocated into vendor partition, they are /bin/oppo-install-recovery.sh and /recovery-from-boot.p there.
EDIT6 Please note that the method above is working with officially downloaded ROMs from realme support site (read here why).
So this method works if you brick your phone trying to install a global rom to china variant..
Hi,
does only works with SDcard insert.
Because the internal storage is decrypted.
And it does not work on X2.
But why?
Installation failed?
This method will bring back my FP working again right?
Can you please confirm this method https://boycracked.com/2019/10/26/official-realme-x2-rmx1991-stock-rom/

Read the post #2 in this thread, it contains ample info needed for this. If you are requesting ready-to-flash stock recovery file, you should tell the version of the ROM you are going to flash and powerful word please to it

I am not 100% sure I understand you right. If you are about some stock apps missing after wiping the userdata partition, this is true: some of the apps were preinstalled onto data space (some of them are Weather app, One-Tap Lockscreen). I could find only some of them in a form of apk files.
