[Q] Xperia Z1 is recognized as "togari", Z Ultra

As the title suggests, I rooted my phone, unlocked BL and was about to flash CM for Honami, which is Z1, but the flashing of the ROM was stopped because it recognizes my device, a Z1, as a "togari", a Z Ultra. I find this quite odd as I have practically no idea why it does that.
I also tried flashing "togari" CM ROM, but that also fails.
Any fixes for this?

if you are sure that you have an z1... then just remove the device check in the updater script (within the zip...) it is in the beginning... cant really remember how it looks but ... search google perhaps.. then it will flash weird enough ... my s also identifies as an sl... but that is from the build prop

Haha, yes. I google for it and tried to simply delete the device check in update-script, but it didn't work for me. I believe the issue is in my recovery, which is not a 4.4 kitkat recovery. The CWM-recovery I have at the moment is 6.0.3.6 and I believe that is the reason for my issues. I have had no luck trying to find a 4.4 kitkat recovery... any tips here?

I tried this recovery too, without any luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49966299
To begin with I got Status 7 error, which is now gone.. I found a tutorial to flash SlimRom for Z1, which is android 4.4.2: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-4-4-2-kitkat-sony-xperia-z1-available-via-slimkat-rom-1432702
However, I was only able to make emergency calls, no cellular at all. I flashed CM through the same method and everything I tried worked, except cellular. Thus, I had to wipe it and install stock Sony firmware.
After that I tried flashing CM the "normal" way through recovery and everything installed as usual, but when I push reboot to reboot the system, the phone simply shuts off. Even if I press the powerbutton to turn it on, it only vibrates and nothing else happens. Again, I flashed stock firmware to be able to use the phone again...
I am very confused about this, because it does not give any errors. It simply does not work :l

just copied from the CM11 dev fora...
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot
for update just flash rom zip from recovery
Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them.

Thanks for your help

[Q] Calls only mode? Turn notification sounds off?

I sometimes have to be "on-call" throughout the night when sleeping. I therefore need to be reachable by phone.
I do not however want alerts from facebook, youtube, whatsapp, eBay etc going off in the night.
Is there an app that can turn all notifications off and just leave phone calls on? Its an effort to go to settings>apps>turn off notifications from each app only to have to turn them on the next day when I wake up.
I dont mind having the flashing l.e.d. or the visual indication on the top bar, I just dont want to hear the alert.

Ok first thing that you have to do is root your phone
After that install xposed framework from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
after installing it open xposed installer on your phone ,then in framework click on install/update after that reboot your phone
then go back into xposed installer click on download and search for ringer notification volume unlink ,download and install it then go back to modules in xposed installer and enable this by pressing on the tick mark
and then reboot your phone
After all this go to settings then in sounds you will find different volume slider for ringer and notifications

A haaaaaaaa ! Thanks very much.
One more thing, I had to downgrade to 4.2.2 to root, but I quite liked 4.3. I read a lot of people upgraded to 4.3 and then couldnt root their phones or lost pre-existing roots. Is there any way around this ?

they are almost the same but in existenz you can get a black version
recovery means cwm or twrp recovery
first install a recovery on your phone
then download the rom and flash it via recovery
and please use the search button to find the recovery in the forum

I have given up on this, it will now be a project for a different day when I have more time to read into it.
Now if I try to update to 4.3 I get "could not install new software version. Try again"
What is the process for restoring the phone back to factory settings. Is it a clean flash I need to do?

Note 4 Stuck in Boot Loop, very worried

Hi, hoping I haven't done something terrible here.
Rooted Sprint Note 4. Stock other than that, including bootloader
Installed Xposed Installer
then RootCloak module
Xposed Installer: Install->Update
Rebooted directly into a never-ending boot loop (Samsung logo, Sprint logo, reboot).
I was able to get it into recovery once, using a little sh script, but it's not working anymore.
When I was able to get it into recovery, I figured I'd try doing a factory reset, to no avail. Same loop.
I just tried repeatedly pressing a hardware button during boot to disable xposed, no result.
I have the disable .zip file, but no way to push it to the device or flash it, since I can't get into recovery - and even then, it seems I need a custom bootloader to do run it.
I did take an adb backup.
Now, I can only get to the stock Download screen (by holding hardware keys during boot).
Any help? Please?

I'm thinking of flashing this with Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-nie-stockish-knox-root-sprint-stock-t2919346
Hoping that is a reasonable thing to try?

Sigh of relief
OK, I fixed it.. I just redid the same process I did when I first rooted - using cf-auto-root.
And boom! Booted back to stock :victory:

Same issue

The first post in the Xposed thread says not to use it on touchwiz UI. Reflash your ROM in ODIN, and wait for Rovo to update Xposed for your system.

Maybe you should check the first posts before flashing something. Samsung roms aren't supported on lollipop

This is a really old post, and people might have already figured this out- HOWEVER, wanam has made a modded version of xposed 87.1 that is supposedly working on TouchWiz ui. Trying now

TWRP & Xposed

So I have been trying to install TWRP for somethings with Xposed..
I get everything setup but my phone won't boot in to recovery mode, it just boots to the Android and works or it boots to the Android guy and says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
I can't get it to boot to recovery I tried many ways, I used an app to try tried some buttons.. it won't boot recovery.
Any ideas? ^^
Thanks!

It seems you're problem is installing TWRP and not Xposed, therefore you need to search in your fone's forum for answers as to how you can install TWRP. When you succeed in doing that, come here for problems about Xposed.

Yeah, but im trying to install Xposed, that needs me to go to my phones recovery but my phone will never boot to recovery, is there like any other way I can get the framework installed for Xposed without going to recovery? It keeps going in to Odin mode it looks like.

That's still a recovery problem. I neither know what fone you have nor what you're running on it. You need to get your TWRP sorted it first and for that the best place your device's forum.

Odin mode is download mode, you should figure out how to get your phone into recovery instead.
And in lieu of twrp, you can flash the xposed zip with flashfire from the play store.

I know how to get to recovery mode, I have been there, but it seems now it will never load in to it anymore o.o

Yup, after using Flashify to install TWRP, after the phone boots it goes to "Start up failed" could it be my provider does not like it? (i545)
any ideas?

If you're not going to try flashfire as suggested, you're on your own. And for the record, you don't flash twrp with it, just flash the xposed zip..

twrp + supersu + nexusos-9rom troubleshoot

Hey! So let me get straight to the point . . . I used Odin flashed the TWRP recovery, installed SuperSU zip, installed NexusOS-9 ROM, then installed OpenGApps. However, my SuperSU app did not show up and Root Checker says I did not successfully root my phone. I have a Samsung S6 SM-G920T. Did I "root" my phone yet? and how come it shows up as not rooted? Please help. The Custom ROM and Gapps all work but it just says not rooted. Thanks in advance!

Hey I am sorry if I am not regarding to your problem, but how are the steps in installing the TWRP? Many users said that after installing if you try to go to system it will get stuck in a bootloop, can you help me to know how to prevent that.
And I guess that regarding your problem, the room has a different kernel, the kernel is the one that comes with root or not, in this case the kernel of your rom is not rooted, try to root it again.

So once you flash TWRP you press the down button + home button + power button and the moment it blacks out you press the up button immediately and it should go straight into twrp

No you don't have to root right away... TWRP is just a custom recovery to replace your stock recovery.. you can root another time if you want
