I'm Not Even Sure What This Is SONY XPERIA Z2 TABLET -VERIZON- POSSIBLE BRICK?

Hey guys, please forgive me for any bad etiquette or lack of information (any information I can provide is available upon request if I leave anything out). I am new to forums in general and especially to XDA, which seems like a good place to get help.

I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet from Craigslist under the assumption it was a fully unlocked tablet not associated to a carrier. Turns out it was a Verizon Z2 tablet. I dislike Verizon with a firey passion and without getting into too many details, I'm fairly certain they won't help me because a) this tablet wasn't purchased through them as a customer and b) Verizon and I have bad history (unauthorized account modification, shady charges, etc.)

So I thought I'd do my best to make the tablet mine since the asshole who sold it to me has ceased all contact and I don't know how to get a hold of him anymore. No receipt and a data-less tablet.

Anyway, I successfully rooted the tablet and began installing apps that I installed for my G4 when I rooted it (SuperSU, Adaway, Greenify, etc.)

Things were going well but I realised I wanted anything that had to do with Verizon removed from the tablet so I was going to flash Cyanogenmod onto it with a guide I found online. Now rooting and installing custom recoveries was familiar territory and I did these flawlessly. It had TWRP and I made a backup of the system -no Nandroid, sadly-and I began the flashing process. The process said it completed without issue and I went to reboot my device. Enter my current situation:

The device, when I attempted to turn it on, all it did was vibrate constantly until I let go of the power button. Attempting to enter recovery mode (green LED, power + vol down) it showed me, instead of TWRP, a very basic recovery mode with basic options. "Continue booting up", "enter safe mode", "system recovery", and "power down". I tried entering safe mode and it just shut back down, I tried doing a system recovery and it shut down. The only time I ever see the "SONY" logo is if I'm entering this mode. I can enter what I assume is "fastboot mode" (power + vol up and plugging the device into a PC). Nothing on the screen but the LED is blue. I am trying to find guides to restore it if I can and it all looks promising but the only things I know how to really do are root and install custom recovery. I know there are PC tools I can use to send commands to it while it's in fastboot, or send commands in general I just don't know where to begin.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I know it was from Verizon, which sucks, and I know the problem most likely occurred with the attempted flashing of Cyanogenmod. I think I read somewhere I might have done something regarding mismatching kernal numbers. I couldn't find a way to unlock the bootloader so I assume that had something to do with it too.

If someone could give me a guide to restore it to at least its stock ROM where I can begin rooting and installing a custom recovery again, that would be great. Even better would be just flashing a ROM on there that doesn't need Verizon or being able to take it to a stage where it's unlocked and the only evidence it was ever with a carrier is the Verizon logo on the back. I'd really hate to think I wasted money on this and now I'm at a dead end because of a mistake I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my mom on her birthday which is coming up soon. So if anyone knows anything, or has a guide where we can at least get the thing bootable again and I'll just try and deal with a rooted locked device, that would be great.

Thanks for considerations,

Possible IMEI fix for 2nd SIM slot

Possible solution to recover the second SIM IMEI

I'm not responsible if you brick or loose your IMEI again. I'm writing this assuming that if you are/was already screwed by the infamous lost IMEI problem, you have nothing to loose.

Though I didn't tested it in my own phone (D410hn), I believe it's going to work, possibly in other dual-SIM variants too.

I used Windows XP SP3, but it *must* works in Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit). Not sure about Windows 8.1 and 10.

I had to mask some stuff to preserve my personal data, some masked stuff are probably not sensitive data but who knows, better safe than sorry.

1. Tools needed.
1.1 - Qualcomm Product Support Tools (QPST 2.7 build 402): https://www.mediafire.com/?cffk8jc08h17fgy
1.2 - HxD (or any other decent HEX editor): http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD
1.3 - IMEI converter: https://www.mediafire.com/?cffk8jc08h17fgy
1.4 - LG Mobile Support Tool: http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client...2CAppSetup.exe

Possible problems:
1.1a - QPST gives an error and stops the install.
Solution: Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable x86: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=3387

2. Enable USB debugging.
2.1 - In your phone, navigate to Apps > Settings > About phone > Software info then tap Build number seven times.
2.2 - Navigate to Apps > Settings > Developer options, ensure the Developer options switch (located in the (upper right) is turned on.
2.3 - Tap USB debugging to enable.[/b]

3. Enable Port check test.
3.1 - Open your phone dialer and dial 3845#*410#, Hidden Menu will popup.
3.2 - Navigate to Port check test (in end of the menu) and tap the switch to turn on. Port check Test must read Enabled (Port check value: 1).

Possible problems:
3.1a - Hidden menu is not appearing.
Solution: Change the 410 to your variant number, if you are on D405, dial 3845#*405#, and so on.

4. Setup COM port in QPST.
4.1 - First, check in which COM port your phone is connected. This can be done just by looking in Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) > LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COMx)


4.2 - Navigate to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin and open QPSTConfig.exe (If you are in 64-bit Windows, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\...).

4.3 - Select Ports > Add New Port...


4.4 - Untick Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only. COM ports will show up above.
4.5 - Select the serial port where your phone is attached (saw on step 4.1), something like COMx - USB/Unknown Data Modem (LGE Mobile USB Modem, YouPhoneID and press OK.


5. Download your QCN data.
5.1 - On the menu, open Start Clients > Software Download.


5.2 - Select Backup tab. If your COM port is not automatically selected or showing No Ports Active, click on browser, select your COM port and select OK.


5.3 - Below, on QCN file, select a path to save your QCN file, click on Browse... and select a folder. Click on Start and wait a few minutes, a file around 356kb with the QCN extension will be saved to the folder your selected.


6 - Injecting your IMEI in your QCN file.
6.1 - You first have to know your original IMEIs. You can find them in your phone box or printed on the sticker in your battery slot.


6.2 - Open the QCN file with HxD. In D410hn QCN, the offsets for the IMEIs are the following:
Things you must notice before continuing:
- I'm going to show just the two first HEX values of my IMEI for learning purposes.
- The offset values I found are for the D410hn variant, for other models it may be different, I know a way to find those addresses if needed but I won't cover in this first post to not make things longer.
- Those are your IMEIs in HEX form, in 9 addresses as shown below. They are not a plain text to HEX conversion.
- The HEX value ALWAYS starts with 08.
- IMEI is always a 15 digit numer.

IMEI A: Offset 00017500 to 00017508


IMEI B: Offset 00001F18 to 00001F20


6.3 - With your IMEIs you found in step 6.1, open the IMEI calculator and convert both.

Let's say your IMEI A is 123456789123456, the converted HEX value is 08 1A 32 54 76 98 21 43 65, go to 00017500 offset and write the value.


Now your IMEI B, let's say its 987654321987654, the converted HEX value is 08 9A 78 56 34 12 89 67 45, go to 00001F18 offset and write the value.


File > Save.

7 - Return the modified QCN file to your phone.
7.1 - Repeat step 4, if COM port is already setup, just open QPSTConfig.exe said on step 4.2.
7.2 - On the menu, open Start Clients > Software Download.


7.3 - Select Restore tab. Repeat step 5.2 to make sure your COM port is selected, and now browse the modified QCN file you edited in HxD in step 6. Click on Start and wait.


8 - Restart your phone. Disable USB Debugging and Enable Port check test, open your phone dialer and dial #*06#. Check your IMEI A and B.


GOOD LUCK! :good:

Is it possible to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2?

I recently upgraded to 5.1.1 on Telus and now I am having the network connectivity issues that have been reported on other threads. Specifically, when I am on WiFi and have LTE enabled, all phone calls go directly to voicemail when someone tries to call. If I turn of LTE it seems to work fine.

I am assuming it's an issue with LTE and 5.1.1 so just wondering if anyone knows of a way to downgrade to 5.0.2

Is it possible to root Xperia M2 (android lollipop 5.1.1)

I've always wanted to root my phone but didn't want to loose my warranty. So recently my 1 year warranty ended and now I would like to root my phone but I'm not sure how to do it and this is the only forum that i really trust.
I have the latest android version installed (5.1.1) and my phone is the Xperia M2 D2303.
It says that I can't unlock my bootloader "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
If someone could explain how to root it please do so.
Thanks in advance :D

[Possible Brick?] I Dun Goofed

Funny story.
I was attempting to use ODIN v3.09 to change the partition table on my SG 2 Skyrocket (SGH-i727)
Now realizing I shouldn't have, ODIN failed to complete the flash with the same recovery. (CWM v6.0.5.1)
As of right now, pressing the power button DOES NOTHING. It no longer vibrates when it turns on. It can't even turn on I believe. ODIN, Windows or Heimdall cannot detect the device. I believe that I may have just ended up breaking this. Would anyone be able to tell me how (if there is one) I may get this stupid thing to work again?

I have a Nandroid Backup before I did this.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, it's possible that it no longer has its booter xD. Would I be able to restore that Backup?

G3 or G4? -because of possible touchscreen issues?

I have a G3 right now. I scored a BRAND NEW G4 off ebay and it's on it's way. I can live without unlocked bootloader, for now.. but I'm terrified about the possible screen issues. Should I just keep my G3, which is working great, and just turn right around and sell the G4? What do you guys think? Is it worth the risk?

Right now my G3 is the ATT D810 version and the G4 I bought is the ATT H810. I ordered a tempered glass screen protector, case, QC 2.0 chargers.... not sure what to do.

Is it possible to disale keyboard fullscreen in landscape mode?

Hi all :)

I have used a rooted S2 ever since I got it. But with rooting being as it is right now and not wanting to lose fingerprint sensor, trip KNOX etc. I do not want to root for now.

Surprisingly I really like the samsung keyboard. However, just like any other keyboard I tried, it switches to fullscreen in landscape mode. Which on such a big screen is completely unnecessary and annoying.

Is there any way of disabling this without root access? Any way at all?

Thanks guys!... and gals ;)

Possible to crop/shrink screen - Help

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately, my dad's phone got water damaged and the bottom of the screen isn't functioning properly.

Is there a way to crop out the bottom of the screen (so it shows black) and shrink the top of the screen so it raises up?

I was thinking about adding the nexus navigation bar to the bottom as an alternative method, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can try.

Regards,

My phone currently has cm11 but it was stunning stock 4.3.x before that. I'm just wondering if I can download the ROM (including bootloader) via flashing the ROM (from Sammobile) via odin.

Lg G3 possible cloaned? others are receiving sms msgs via my phone number

Hi I'm a Newbie to this Form so please forgive me if this doesn't make any sense. over the last couple months I ave been told and have seen as well that various text msgs have been changed, or sent via my number. for instance "how are you doing" to a "how are you doing a#$$#". When your on the other end of receiving the text you definitely want some answers. Is it possible for the receiver to change my sms msg so it appears it was sent by me and add stuff to it? I tend to believe that sense its not happening with anyone else that this person just trying ruin me.

is it possible to enable lte band TDD 38 on Elephone p7000?

I saw on this forum some method for phones with qualcom processor but for mediatek nothing. I need this band for Digi 4g Romania
My Elephone has MTK6752 chip and supports only FDD bands lte 1,3,7 and 20.
There are other phones with the same chip that have this lte band 38 enabled like: Jiayu s3,Siswoo cooper,lenovo k3 and htc820s to name some.
So is it possible somehow to enable that band;or if I flash ported firmware from those phones,people who know more are welcome with solutions
sorry for bad english and thanks for any good reply :)
