I need a back up & restore apk for xperia sola because I installed a rom last year and for got to back it up
now I need it to root my phone because it got unrooted on it's own for no reason.
so, I appreciate some help ^^

If you haven't backed it up there is nothing to restore.
What exactly are you looking for? Just type bacup restore on Play Store.

No need to go that far. It's in the ROM FTF and it's easy to extract anything you need from it.

[Q] How to downgrade my Legend from CM10 to stock ROM?

Hi all,
I already installed CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905588) to my HTC Legend.
After do some searching about my concern, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671520 But I can't create Gold Card because the site http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard is down.
In another threads, someone suggests using flashgc (http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/flashgc). However I can't do this completely (got "Illegal instruction" when excute command "./flashgc").
So do you have any suggestion?
Thank you.

In your place I would take this ROM, it's almost a stock ROM and you have not to downgrade, you also need no GoldCard...
I used it for a long time, it´s absolutely stable.

Please take a look at wetransfer.com. You can upload the ROM there and create a link to the file(s) and PM me the link. I will then put it in my dropbox and make it available for who might be interested.
I am looking for the ROM Blayo 0.8 and the patch 0.8.4...
Thanks in advance.
look in your pm ...

Maybe I will put more 'old' ROMs up, but for now, only Blayo 0.8.4 is here:

If anyone objects, please let me know.

Help! Systemui.apk screwed up!

Hello guys,, I'm using the Xolo X1000 Intel based phone running Android 4.1.2. I rooted it recently (but being a newbie, didn't take proper system backups or anything).
I tried some root apps and now both my soft keys as well as the notification bar have disseapeared.. I understand that this is to do with the Systemui.apk.. My question is: How do I fix this?
If it possible to use the systemui.apk from any other phone then please tell me. ( And posting the same would be heavily useful)
Please, someone help me..
uhmm, if u used apktool it takes a backup of the apps you're about to decompile so if ppl like me and you forget ,it helps

Um, I didn't mod anything by myself.. I used some software called Softkeyz, which botched up the systemui..

I got the systemui.apk from a fellow phone owner. Replaced it and then everything was working fine.
I believe that the file is still hosted on one of the threads about our phone. Just search for the phone and you'll find it here.

Demo mode (retailer advice)

unmaskedfalesh said:
Demo mode is always there in all sony phones..check under settings >apps>all apps >retail demo
Its just if we want to activate it or not..

ok so what if it is activated on a phone, how to totally deactivate it on f or example Z2?
Will rooting and flashing another ROM work to totally deactivate it? Sony ROM can then be flashed later back onto the device to eventually get rid of the demo mode. Will this logic work?

Yes the logic might work and if you have root u can remove the retail demo app and demo contents in your memory.

Huawei Ascend Y6, do any ROMs exist?

Hello, so I've bought a Huawei Ascend Y6, and it's on its way. I didn't realize that there seems to be a lack of support for third party OS's before I've bought it. I see threads about other devices that have lots of work built around them, some of them being Huawei products, but none seem to match this exact model. I'm finding nothing either here, or through search engines.
So if nobody's written a ROM for this Huawei phone, am I out of luck and just stuck with the stock OS? I'd appreciate help very much, thanks.

Yes, I believe the phone is also just called the Huawei Y6! My model is the SCL-L04, so I could also give you some details on that if you need any, and if it would help you. Do you have any links to your work on this? I'd love to try finally installing a new OS on this phone, (though I'm not sure how to do it with this locked down bootloader).

I don't have any work ready yet and I only have the SCL-L21 libs ready to work with. Could you send me a backup of your system.img? I could work with that.

I would like to, but so far I can't find the file you mentioned. Whenever I search for it, I only get results on how to unpack it, but I can't locate it in the mtp client. Any help?

You'd have to create a TWRP backup, then they will show up in the backups folder of TWRP.

If you are using chrome, you could try logging chrome into your google account, download chrome on a PC and login, and once its synced recover the passwords from the PC. Also if you are using firefox try the ssame

I'm not sure, try the second answer in the link, it will only work after you root the phone. I'm not sure if webview.db will appear after root, the only thing you can do is try. (I'm kinda a newbie to this too, just trying to help)
