Okay so, since I'm sort of new, I wanted to ask a few questions:
1. Is it possible to root xperia x8 with manufacturing date 11w48? At least at 95% chance. I'm a bit scared of the bricking part...
2. If it is possible, what kind of "ROM" (if I understood correctly) should I get?
3. If I get hard bricked/soft bricked what's the chance my phone will be still usable.
That's about it. Please don't rage at me for "OMG USE SEARCH BUTTON" type of thing.
I have tried doing it but no results found. Just threads and posts of people updating their.. ROMs I gues? Correct me if I typed anything wrong there.
But yeah, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

1. You can safely root your x8 regardless of when it is manufactured, you will not brick it
2. You have 11w48 so it is very risky to unlock your bootloader, i suggest you flash ROMS that is for stock
3. If you get soft bricked you can flash the stock firmware back using flashtool or SEUS, if it is a hard brick, you need to go to the nearest Service center or use a JTAG

Thanks a whole bunch. I thought I cannot root because of my manufacturer date. But what is a flash ROM tho?

you can root your phone. but you can't unlock bl.
when you root your phone, you cam install cwm recovery. simply dl a rom for stock kernel and go to recovery and install(flash) the rom. remember to check the instructions first.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
All what I found until today was that if I cannot unlock BL I cannot install CWM recovery.
Maybe it is related to model - mine is Sony Xperia J. Y2012.
There is no fastboot available.
Am I wrong, can I have CWM, nandroid backup etc on stock ROM as only such one I may flash ?

this is for x8. not sure how it works on J. but yeah we don't havt fastboot either. but we can install cwm even with a locked bl. again that's for se x8.
edit: my advice is go to your phone's subforum. you'll get your answers there.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Thank you. I understand that lot of things is device dependent but thought there are non-breakable rules, like gravity,
and what is possible to do under certain circumstances was one of them.
Need walk through XDA forum once more, maybe there is a hope.

there probably are a few unbreakable rules, but not being familiar with your device i can't guarantee that it's safe or it would work.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Despite lot of reading I still am missing knowledge.
Question is:
What is fastboot ?
I found more than one definition of it and compiled into my own.
1.
Of course fastboot.exe is Windows binary (part of flashtool pack) which does certain type of work.
This is not what we are interested in.
2.
I concluded that:
- fastboot is one of modes into what android device can wake up. Just like linux can boot in different ways or Windows into single mode.
- this feature is encoded into boot.img, it is not separate android application.
- boot.img will work only with related kernel.img. They are like love and marriage (which is like horse and carriage - Bundy's).
- Sony sometimes disables stock boot.img to boot into this mode then without replacing boot .img it is impossible.
More comments ?
Fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices from a host over USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Okay, I got one more last question. Is this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906195&nocache=1 okay to use for rooting? I'm still trying to find the LATEST safe ones =/ I wonder if this one is okay.
Um, I tried that one it didn't work. It said some stuff are missing, then it exited randomly etc.. Can someone give me a link or a short/long guide which I can use that's latest? I do have some X8 drivers in a .zip file but no idea how to install them. Thanks in advance.

Having few issues with the SuperOneClick thing... It sometimes randomly exits, tells me that some stuff are missing etc. Any help? =/
Dear experts, I have seen similar threads as with the issue I am facing but I wasnt sure of few parts and if the process as a whole could work for me.
Here's what I know and what the problem is all about, appreciate any help to get back the phone in working condition.
First the basics:
HTC first
GSM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed
I wanted to delete and format the device as I intended to give this to my friend and I did go to TWRP menu and then clicked on advanced wipe etc and realized I did erase everything the phone needs even to bootup. This I have done without taking backup.
What it looks like now:
When I boot the device out from TWRP, the 'F' logo comes up and stays like that for ever. If I go to TWRP pressing the power and volume down together, it goes to the TWRP menu and thats it..no options seem to help me on this screen to go past the 'F' logo at startup. If I simply power down the device on the 'F' screen it restarts and goes to the same screen making it look like its in a loop. Not sure if this is called soft-brick or hard-brick but it looks like the phone is of no use to me right now.
Can you guys please help me with resolving the problem..any help will be much appreciated

Sideload the stock rom and then flash it I've been in your situation and that's all that was needed to be done.
Be sure to also flash the boot.img if you aren't s-off

Thanks Abraham for your quick response.
I am starter with Android so, please help me how to sideload and also on where to get stock rom. I will also be lying if I said I understood whats s-off..? Please help further

4) flash the boot.IMG inside the rom

And the stock ROM is somewhere around these threads. About the side loading you might find a tutorial for that on YouTube. Sorry if it seems that I'm just leaving you in the dust but I am typing this in a hurry since it's 2:50 am at my place. I will be back to whip up a tutorial for you if YouTube wasn't of much help

That's correct. Unzip the ROM and it should be there
This is how far I could get
Got all stock ROM and the IMG files, installed android SDK
ADB doesnt recognize the device to copy the file for sideloading
Guess issue is with the fact USB debugging was disabled earlier on my device
Can you please advise further
Is it better to chat on google chat or something so its even faster and I could get this fixed tonight (my time)
Thank you
Finally got it fixed
Thanks for the help..it all worked fine and the device is now working fine..

wait a sec...you dont have a rom or kernel on your device at the moment right?
then there is no way to turn on usb debug on or off cause there is nothing managing the device.
um...use cmd and do adb devices. if its not there then i have no idea but if fast-boot goes into usb mode try flasing it using code
not sure what you would use, but see if "fastboot flash update nameofROM.zip"
but im not sure if that is the right code
stock rom for htc first

can you please provide a tutorial and and all the link because i m kinda noob . I am unable to find them .
Hi guys,
sorry for bothering you guys, but at this point i'm pretty much desperate. I tried to root my Xperia Z since it brings oh so many wonderful possibilities with it and i was sick watching at all the bloatware floating around my screen. Anyway. Since i'm a total noob when it comes to phones i have been reading quite a lot of confusing stuff on the internet, especially here as this site was recommended to me by a friend.
Now i do have a bit of experience flashing PSPs and such, so i thought "you're not a total moron, how much more difficult could flashing your phone be ?". Guess i was wrong =)
I followed this instruction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2iPY0J4ZA
Yeah, i know, it's a video and all. But the thing is. I've by now read different guides all explaining the same thing. And every one of them put things differently, most of them claiming it was totally easy, but most missed a few steps. So i thought a step by step video tutorial would be quite easy to follow. And it kinda was, until ...
The unlocking failed. At the point where it was supposed to say "unlocked successfully", nothing happened. Just the cmd-line and then "---", which from my knowledge stands for "proceeding". To me it was stuck. And it kept standing there for about half an hour, when impatiance kicked in. Yeah, im dumb like that. So i close the cmd and tried to reboot my phone and got a bootloop just after the logo.
So i went into fastboot again and basically tried to unlock it again. This time successfully only after a few seconds (i guess this is how it's supposed to be, since that's what it was like in the video.) Still bootlooping though.
Now at this point i'm frantically troubleshooting and kinda feel like a monkey with a wrench. It should work, but maybe i'm just doing it totally wrong, since i don't know better.
So at this point, from reading even more stuff i'm trying to flash a stock firmware onto that thing by using flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907). This is the firmware i found from that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216743 .
Now before i make things even worse. Is there anything wrong with my approach, do i need to think about anything else ?
The idea in the first place was to install this: http://www.cyanfox-rom.com/2014/01/01/cyanfox-2-0-2/
In that regard, would that be the right thing to do now ?
If you've read this far, thank you for your time and dedication to help. I really appreciate it. If you need any more information as to what i've done, don't hesitate to ask. Chances are im lurking around desperately.
First, dont worry, your phone can be repaired with flashtool. You can download flashtool (find it on Xperia Z android development section) and download FTF firmware for your phone, 4.3 is newest. and just follow simple instructions how to flash (cant search now for the link)
If you want to use 4.3 and to be rooted you must first flash 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware and then follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458268
Thanks a lot. Flashing worked like a charm.
However the info still says: "Bootloader unlocking allowed=Yes". From my understanding that means it's still locked ? So it's back to square one ? Add frustration to depair now... seems like i don't understand the process or something...

It's not working. Went into fastboot again, unlocked, this time successfully in 1.0s. And again bootlooping.
What am i doing wrong ? I just don't get it. From my understanding it should work normally and i should be able to proceed to root. And this would require me to start the device normally in the first place right ? Im on here right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
But to be perfectly honest, at this point i'm guessing here. :crying:
Okay, next try, same experience. Do i need to do anything else after the unlocking ?
Do i have to reboot and just go into that root thingy and start the runme.bat ? Edit: Which isn't even possible since i can't boot.
OR do i need to flash kernel and stuff.
These are basically the 2 options that i found and i'm totally confused about which one i need to do as to me both are exclusive of the other ? I think i need to solve that bootloop issue in the first place, right ?
I think it's absolutely clear that i need help with this stuff
Hours later i'm still trying to get this working. However it just doesn't. Bootloop keeps happening.
Since i don't know if i made a mistake or not, i just chose to try to go on about the rooting. This doesn't work either. I tried to do it like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154310
From my understanding it's for the .350 fw,but also works for the one stock rom i downloaded earlier ? Can anyone confirm that ? I'm just guessing here, since there is no explicit information about that for noobs like me. At least i didn't find it.
Well anyway. I ran fastboot flash boot auto root blabla... and this is what it tells me:
sending boot... okay
writing boot... failed (command not allowed)
WHY ? Does this have anything to do with the unlocking process before ? Did it fail ? Am i just using the wrong fw ? Any pointers as to what i'm doing wrong here ?
I know i cannot demand any help, since you don't really get anything for it, but it really drives me crazy. So any help is highly appreciated. So please... pretty please ! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, might try that one if everything else fails. This is still a stock rom build with all the bloatware right ?
However i am trying to get to install Cyanfox (see a few posts ago). To my understanding an unlocked bootloader and root are both required.
Just to my understanding, does that mean, that my unlocking the bootloader failed ? Or why isn't it showing an unlocked bootloader in the Config ? Sorry if i am asking dumb questions, but i seem to be stuck and i'd really like to understand what i'm doing wrong.
Tomorrow a friend of mine will try to help me with all that, since he has some experience with customs on his phone (a S3 i believe). So he told me that he has no experience with the Xperia Z. I'll also would like to show him this thread for additional info. So if there's anything you can throw at us, that might help, please go ahead. Again, i appreciate your help.
Hi, I would try and get back to stock if possible..
You might want to download Sony Update Service and connect your phone up through that. If your bootloader is unlocked, then SUS wont let you go any further but if you are locked you will be able to repair firmware back to stock...
Please dont take this the wrong way but if you are new to flashing ROMs then it might be better for you to take things one step at a time.
What I mean is start off by just getting used to rooting stock ,, then try flashing custom roms when you feel more confident with the process and after you have tried flashing a few custom ROMs to see which one you like best (there are some great ROMs for locked bootloaders out there), If you really want to unlock bootloader then go ahead...
It just seems like trying to root, flash ROM and unlock bootloader all in one hit just multiplies the likelyhood of errors occuring and it can be difficult to pinpoint at what stage it went wrong..
Good luck ...

I think that hit the nail on the spot =)
Thing is, i am a really impatient guy, which isn't the best trait when "taking it slow". It's more like "i want the best, and i want it now"
Of course what's best can't be answered objectively and i can't pinpoint why i decided on that specific rom, but it looked awesome to me, so i just went for it and tried to read up everything i need to know to make it work I just didn't expect to fail at the very first step... that's kinda very very frustrating.
Anyway, i'll see what we can get done tomorrow and make sure to report back. Again, thanks a bunch !
Sooo, aparently i made a mistake in the cmd line. We don't really know what i did wrong, since the KEY was correct, although i wrote ".exe", my friend didn't, and instead of typing it letter by letter, he copied it (i didn't know how, lol). And it worked at first try, no idea what i did wrong. So that's done.
Rooting was also easy. Sadly we couldn't go on at this point, since i had to download a few more things first. So after that, i'm on my own again and, who would have thought, next problem's not far away.
Now i do have a problem flashing roms. Every rom i tried gave me a "status 7" error. Now i already searched up a solution that includes removing a few lines in the updater-script.dat. However that didn't work either. I'm pretty sure i followed the guides exactly. But at this point i kinda have to assume, that i'm even too dumb for that.
Any suggestions ?

To make things simple i tried flashing the suggested stockbased rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850)
But since i keep getting the same error with any rom i tried, i assume i'm generally doing something wrong.

The recovery is probably your problem.
Try using atleast twrp 2.6.3.0 or philz touch cwm or the latest cwm
you can use the dual recovery as well

Got cwm 6.0.4.5, worked great ! THANK YOU A LOT !!! :good::good: OH YEAH, double thumbs up ! And there's me thinking, the guide said get rom manager, the program knows where to find the latest version. Whatever, great forum, seems like i finally might have figured out what i'm doing, at least kind of
Now to exploring all the funny roms and apps. I'm so excited
PS: Since this solved, do i need to do anything else ? I've seen "Solved" being in the title. Can i do that or do i have to ask a mod ?
i saw you solved your problem but still have a look over THIS
Hi.
A friend asked my help with his Yarvik tab10-410. Being a bit more easy to me, I'm forced to ask help.
This tablet was infected with malware. According to what I can see and read about, it might have been rooted before. Every time I go to recovery and apply factory reset, the malware keeps annoying. even without internet connection.
Tried safe mode and nothing. In comparison to my son's Chuwi alike, I noticed that there is no internal sdcard (at least it won't mount).
Don't know what I can do beside applying some based code: custom rom, stock OS, whatever.
But neither of them appeared in my googling hours.
Does anybody have a solution? My knowledge is Android matters is very limited, but I follow instructions very well.
I only was able to root my smartphone to remove some bloatware.
Thanks.

http://www.hardreset.info/devices/yarvik/yarvik-tab10-410-noble-101/
This might work if you're trying to do a factory reset.
That's what I ment by factory reset. Since even after that the malware appears, that's why I think the tablet might have been infected as root.
Hi, You need to find a factory image to flash to your device, if not you cant fix that infection.

Does anyone know where can I find it?
Yarvik (brand) seems to be dying if not already dead. Bankruptcy was (according to news I read) part of brand's history.
Thank you

You solved the problem? I cant find a stock rom
Hi.
Couldn't find any rom. Had to send my friend to oficial support. It took almost 1 month to regain control of that "brick".
Bye
Hey guys ive been perusing the web for days, i cant seem to find the method that should be used to get a new rom on my phone i have the SM-N950U1.
i am also a linux user and not sure exactly how i should go about flashing when i dont have a windows machine. does any one have a clear start to finish idea how to correctly do this and what i will need to complete the root, flash. im sorry if it covered some where i hae looked but evidently not found a method. any assistance would be very grateful i really dont like proprietry bloatware and i know this is an older phone. thank you all for any assistance!
1. Unlock bootloader.
This will factory reset your phone.
I forgot the exact process of this, was a long time ago when I did this.
2. Flash a Custom Recovery with "ODIN"
"TWRP" is the most common Custom Recovery.
I think ODIN is Windows-only Software, but you could use a VM.
3. Boot into Custom Recovery & flash the Custom_ROM.zip file.
You can try out Custom ROMs from XDA from the ROMs-Section.
I may have forgotten something, so take this with caution

First of all the SM-N950U1 (snapdragons soc models) has a permanent LOCKED bootloader so no TWRP recovery.
The post from dreamytom is for SM-N950F/F-DS/N exynos models.
You can only root the SM-N950U1 models, with nougat firmware with root only, depending on the bootloader you are on and if you can find the files needed for it. The thread for that "Extreme Syndicate root thread " has been disconnected and the files taken down, so might want to ask in that thread for someone to share the files for you.
Best of luck!
edit.
Here is the thread.
