ok i'm a visual person and written instructions might as well be in japanese. does anyone know of a video (haven't found one on youtube yet) that details the procedure to a good flash¿ or if it isn't to much of a bother could one of you senior members make one. i know it's noobish but i'm a visual learner! any help is awesome...thanx
dont even try
its so easy to brick a device ( i know i almost bricked mine twice!) if you cant read it and figure it out then leave it alone or pay somebody to do it. besides flashing is more advanced than installing an app. take my advice and leave it alone. i finally got mine to work and dont ever plan to flash it again!!! lol
Check out this post that I just made brother, its a text based guide, but it also features screenshots that show you step by step how to upgrade your Wizard to WM6 or 6.1...it also includes all of the neccesary files except the actual ROM...you have to supply that yourself.-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394218

After having spent countless hours trying to find a way of understanding how to flash my beloved Prophet I have almost given up.
Please, do not see this thread as a way of trying to piss off all the really brilliant users out there that have written lots of good guides over the years.
What I have found is that even though a lot of guides exist, a lot of new flashers encounter the same problems over and over again.
Some of these users I'm sure haven't read the Wiki or the other posts so that could probably explain a lot of the "stupid" questions.
The answer from "senior" flashers is always "have you read the Wiki", have you performed a hard reset, is your Prophet an G3 or G4" and so on.
I also have an Blue Angel that I flashed to WM6 on the first try.
I followed the wizard and it worked like a charm (for me anyway).
Please see the attached link to the Blue Angel wizard:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
I personally think that the wizard for Blue Angel takes you through all the steps necessary for a succesfull flash. It lets you choose what you want to do and in that way guides you step by step.
Now, I'm sure that someone that is familiar with the Wiki making part off this brilliant forum can make an embryo to a wizard like the one for Blue Angel.
As it is today you have to search all the existing Wikis and all the posts and it's so easy to get lost and get different answers and solutions. So in the end a newbie will start asking "stupid" questions.
It must be more members than me on this forum that are using Vista and find it hard to understand all the steps needed to flash?
All comments are welcome, good or angry

I tired of trying to flash over Vista and dug up my old XP computer instead.
I upgraded the old computer with the software needed and the flashing went like a charm!!
Now I'm not a flash virgin anymore!
But I still think that a wizard would be nice for all us newbies out here!?

Hello guys,
I am no update/hacking wizard so I messed up my phone trying to update it with the cabs provided all over the forum. I had a stable version of 12072 on my Lumia 800 and last night I tried to take the 3 steps and update it to the latest stuff. My problem is now I cannot open certain settings and apps in my phone ( wireless, about, games, etc ). I now can see that i should have installed the language things too. Nobody said that in the forums. They just threw link for people who know how to do it. I know it is my fault because it is me the one who accepted to do the updates at my own risk, but now I am asking for your help.
Tell me what to do in order to end up with a full and stable version of Tango on my Lumia. Don't just go "re flash" because that kind of instructions led me to this situation. Please take 1 or 2 minutes of your time and explain it to me. I mean the steps i should take.
Thank you!
Connect your phone to Zune. On the settings>update, you can restore.
I should mention that before doing any update I used the "Backup and send cabs" option from the cab sender, but now when i try to restore it says it can't restore.
EDIT: Also in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737907 the guy says to "make sure my phone has all 22 languages"... and how do i make sure?? Can somebody just give instructions??
Hi everyone,
I've been an android user for a long time and I just bought a SGS3 on ATT, I was ready to start flashing until I saw this thread, and now I don't even want to root.
I've read all the threads I could find on this issue and they all said slightly different things, so I'm looking for a concrete answer to this question:
Are any devs working on this, and if so are they making progress toward a real solution in the future? (I ask this because I've read some people saying this may never be fixed)
I appreciate your responses, and I hope they do find a solution so I won't be stuck on stock forever.
Also: If I do lose my IMEI, does everything still work except 4G?
1. root
2. triangle away
3. if it messes up, return and say 'i dunno wtf happened, it just happened randomly'
4. ????
5. profit
6. YOLO
Hi,
This is my first post, let me just say that I have dug around all over this site looking for a comprehensive guide for a retard like me to follow, and there isn't one, computer related forums usually assume everyone knows what they are doing, but all I want to do is root my stupid tablet!
So let's start from the top.
My tablet is an sgp512 32gb UK android 4.4.4 firmware (latest)
From what I've gathered I need to do the following:
Roll back the firmware to a rootable version - no idea how to do that, can't work it out from the titbits of info left scattered around the place. I'd like a step by step guide to do this. Ie where to find the firmware files, where to put them, how to install them, tools needed etc.
Roll back android to 4.2, again as above, no idea how to do this, can't find an idiot proof guide anywhere.
Run easy root. Now this I managed! But surprise surprise, it didn't do jack. It stopped at "creating vm" and that's as far as I got. Because I'm not running some old firm/software.
It was about this time that I thought about driving over to Sony's HQ and shoving my tablet up some greedy CEO's trouser leg and battering both my tablet and his leg to bits. It infuriates me that I paid them for a device that they lock access to under their own rules.
I have an LG g2, and to root that was simple, why does Sony have to be such ballbags, because by the looks of it people have still managed to root their z2 tablets, so why make it awkward for the rest of us?
Anyway rant over. Suck my plums Sony!
So if anyone would like to help me out, I'd appreciate it gladly.
Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for your reply, glad you have tried to help me get to the root of my problem (badum-tish!)
So, what am I trying here?
As always it doesn't go into any detail. So let's go through some steps.
Step one: have z2 tablet
Step two:???
Well, it seems that we are no further along than my first post.
I'm genuinely eager to get my tablet rooted, but I need someone who has done this to write the full process step by step, not just paste a link to fragmented parts of the process.
I tried to download that ftf file from mega and it seems that the name mega should be changed to rubbish. Several attempts and it failed. Anyway....
As we go along this thread I'll compile it into steps like below each time we get to the next step. So far we have achieved step one.
Step one: have z2 tablet
Step two...
If you can please help this idiot out I'd be so grateful, and I'm sure there are other people out there that would be grateful too!
Thanks

Much easier it cannot get...
So, that's the thing, I received this phablet: 3nstar T705s-01 (Chinese made), from a friend who "accidentally" got viruses on it.
I tell him not to worry because I know that flashing to the stock ROM it can be easily fixed, the thing is that nobody on the internet have this stock ROM, I read a lot of post and differents forums but no one had the exact ROM, after a couple of hours some guy posted a ROM and claimed that it works perfectly on the T705S. After seeing so many chinese pages with all kind of ROMs this cheer me up, so I proceed to flash.
The thing is, everything went well, but, it wasn't the right ROM, and now that I found the real one after some longs and tedious e-mails that I wrote to the providers I can't flash it again because SP Flash Tool gave me "DA didn't send response data to flash tool".
The thing is, I don't feel like it is a HARD BRICK, because my pc recognize it when I plug it and press "Power + VolUp", but nothing appears on the screen and I really don't know what else to do.
Guys please, if someone already answer this or solve it, please just give me the links, I'm tired and sad, I have no money to pay this tablet and I live in Venezuela, the things are pretty bad here.
Please, please, help me. I don't know what else to try.
