I dont suggest the kernel flash, i nearly bricked.
Download root.zip from superuser site. Put it in sd.
Just testpoint your mobile. Download fastboot.
Go to dev selection and download a kernel with cwm
Put it in fastboot folder
Shift + right click on the window background and choose open command box
Enter in the box
Fastboot boot "img name you downlaoded "
Example if the img is named arc.img
Fastboot boot arc.img
When fastboot completes, unplug phone. It will automaticly boot. Press volume down when you see blue led.
Go to install zip option
Choose install zip
Find zip in sd and install it.
Reboot.
Thats all. Brick-safe. Still stock with root. DRM keys keept

Thank you for the above files and guide.
I'm following them, I hope correctly, but when I complete the "Fastboot boot arc.img" at using command prompt the box just displays "waiting for device"
I have USB debugging activated on the Arc
I have tried running this from my C: on my pc and my SD card I: via my pc
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers in advance

The instructions you are referring to were not crystal clear to me either, so I have written down my own experiences to get the fastboot work.
I suppose the necessary USB drivers are needed to be installed as a prerequisite - but I guess you already have them installed.
Otherwhise, I would recommend you to get them from Sony Mobile or use those from the s1tool. (Remember the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?).
Enough said about drivers, here are the steps that is needed to make things work.
First of all you have to make sure of getting a response back from your phone when using the fastboot command.
If not, then you might have to look for answers somewhere else.
Turn off your phone.
Disconnect the USB cable if this is connected.

}
Enter the following in the command window:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce
You will get the response:
Code:
< waiting for device >
.
Hold down the menu button (the right one) and connect the USB cable at the same time.
A correct response from your phone would look similar to this:
Code:
finished. total time: 1346879044.955s
If this is working, then repeat step 1-4, but replace step 4 with the following text:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot <name of your boot image>
A typical response would look like this:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot arc.img
< waiting for device >
downloading 'boot.img'... INFOUSB download speed was 5752kB/s
OKAY [ 0.900s]
booting... INFODownload buffer format: boot IMG
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.910s
After the boot image is loaded into the phone, it will unpack the kernel image and ramdisk image follwed by the init scripts.
This will take some time, so have patience.
Good luck!
N.B. The 0x0fce value origins from the unique manufacturer USB identity, where Sony Ericsson was assigned the (hexadecimal) value 0x0fce.

Sorry friend, but on mobile device i dont have patience to write clearly

Ok
I tried again tonight.
I completed the testpoint and all seemed to follow the information...although...My PC did not ask for the driver install - it did something automatically without any prompts - How do I change the driver (and which one) to the one provided in the s1tool download?
As when I try to follow the guides you have both provided, thank you again, fastboot still sits at the waiting for device prompt.
When I hold "menu" and connect the USB lead the phone boots into Charging screen ???
Any ideas?
Cheers again

There is a simple way to find out if you were successful in unlocking your device, if this could be the problem?
Remove the USB cable from your Arc.
Turn your phone off.
Start it again by pressing the power button. You will see the Sony logo after a few seconds.
Wait for a couple of more seconds.
The backlight of the screen will power up and the LED next to the Micro-USB connector will turn blue, if you succeeded.
Did it work for you?
If yes, I suggest you to remove the USB drivers related to Android and Sony (Ericsson) an reinstall them again.

Yes, turn of phone hold menu button, connect. Youll see blue led.
Now go to device manager find adb interface or s1boot. Right click and update drivers manually. Dirrect driver folder to the drivers map in that pack i sendt you. Click ok. Windows will install them. If it says it can harm your pc, just ignore it and thoose install anyway.
After its complete, try again.

Hey, Think I have the battery drain problem with runnymede AIO Rom, was it flashing AMON RA recovery that solved it? or the whole process? I don't have an SD problem.

for the battery Drain problem.. you can do following things..
1. Wipe Battery stats
2. Install snq kernel
3. If above two doesn't work than only... try the two "oem commands" as I writtten in the procedure..
Actually every time you flash a ROm or everytime deleting and using the phone.. a extra data related to everything as cache configuration is stored in the MEMORY which acually u can not see but it eats battery...
The oem commandsd erases that thing and after this..it is like a new memory having completely blank..
BUT AFTER DOING THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER ANY DATA ON PHONE MEMORY IF ACCIDENTLY DELETED..
you will need to flash a new Inatall of same ROM..or whichever you want...
YES! You saved my sanity AND my phone! many many thanks!

I am a bit lost...
ADB cannot be used when the phone is in bootloader. So after the instruction to put the phone in to bootloader the proceeding instructions which say:
type adb devices [enter]
type adb shel [enter]
won't achieve anything. In other words, adb devices (whilst the device is in bootloader) will not find any attached devices.
adb "shel" isn't a valid command. Do you mean adb "shell" ? If so, this too isn't going to work while the device is in bootloader, adb will simply reply with "error: device not found".
So I guess what I'm trying to ask is - what is the point of those typing those two commands? In this instance, they don't serve any purpose and can be omitted?

[HOW TO][UNBRICK][KF2][RED SCREEN] You have a red screen? Try this!

How to fix your bricked KF2/otter2 with a red screen​
Preparation:
Amazon recently fixed the secruity hole, that was used to flash second bootloader and TWRP recovery.
After you flashed TWRP recovery/second bootloader and rebooted the device you will see a red screen. You can do nothing at this point withoud a pc.
So to reopen the secruity hole you have to downgrade the bootloader via fastboot.
In order to enter Fastboot mode you have to have a fastboot/factory cable. The fastboot/factory cable is not the cable that came with your Kindle Fire!!! For more information about the factory cable visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693
Also you should set up all drivers and the Android SDK.
You can find the right drivers here!
Your device is not turning on? No sign of life? Then check this thread for hard bricked KF2s': http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870
Steps:
1.)Hold the power button for 20 sec. Your device will shut down
2.)Plug in your Fastboot cable and power on the device. Your Kindle should now be in fastboot mode (a green light should blinking)
3.)Download the Bootloader file: otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
md5sum: 5b03a7b428325de8d360ec201a745498
4.)Copy the file in to the same directory where the fastboot.exe is located
5.)Open a CMD window, navigate to your fastboot directory and type:
##############################################################
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
##############################################################
6.)Disconnect the device and hold the power button for 20 sec again.
7.)Your device should now be working fine.

4.)Copy the file in to your fastboot directory
[/QUOTE said:
This may be a dumb question, but where is the fastboot directory? I'm reading this as a directory as in filesystem, i.e Device/sys/fastboot, something like that, but from glancing around, I'm failing to find anything remotely similar. Am I missing something or just misunderstanding the instruction?

I believe he meant the directory in which the fastboot application is located on your PC, which is typically your Android SDK folder / platform-tools.

My kf2 is on 10.4.1 but its still rooted after i fixed the red screen the first time. used kffaid to recover it to 10.2.4. Its working as a normal kindle with root now. So if i flash twrp again. Get a red screen. And then do what the first thread says. TWRP will be installed and i can install a custom rom then ?

That means you either don't have a factory cable or the factory cable you made doesn't work. BTW, a "factory cable" is not a standard USB cable.

Once again, a "factory cable" is not a standard USB cable. When people say "factory cable", they are referring to a factory programming cable. If you don't know what it is, you don't have one.

I typed CMD and then fastboot-i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin but I received an answer: fastboot-i not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I do not understand where I'm wrong ....
There must be a space between fastboot and -i
So the comand is:

you need to have ADB, fastboot and drivers updated.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Maybe I don't understand this for well yet.. I can't find a direct link to the recovery for my experia T3

[This is for the XPERIA D5103 T3]
First of all download the USB drivers for your phone:
I cannot post here the link because XDA does not allow me to do that. Anyway it's in the attachment. In the case this file is somehow deleted due to expiration and you still need the drivers go to Google and search with xperia t3 usb drivers and you'll find a website that starts with developer.sonymobile something and its title is as follow: Xperia T3 driver – Developer World. Extract the file.
[Method 1] Go to Device Manager and select the warning triangle and select Update Driver Software. Choose the folder that you extracted and after a bit of time the computer should now detect that your phone is connected.
[Method 2] This method assumes that you have the driver already installed but the computer does not link it to your phone. Go to Device Manager and select the warning triangle and select Update Driver Software. Then click in the Browse my computer for driver software. Now click the one that says Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and choose the one that says Sony so0108.
Don't forget to power off device, hold volume up button and then connect your device. Then try to execute whatever you need with the fastboot command.
Kind regards

had the same problem at 1st but realize (in a upper post) that to enter recovery you have to power on your phone and just after the vibration, press quickly at multiple time the vol down button (not a single long press but a lot of quick short presses).... until you see the recovery screen...
I feel so blond moment.. I coud not find a recovery in you mega list for my T3 d5103. Am I wrong or there is no one in the list between all those names at the left side.

FP4 stucks after unlock the bootloader

Hello together,
today i tried to install /e/ OS on my new FP4.
I did everything like in the official description:
> ## Unlocking the bootloader
>
> 1. Boot the device
> 2. Enable and connect Wifi
> 3. Enable Developer options
> 4. From developer options, enable OEM unlock
> * Get the unlock code from [this site](https://www.fairphone.com/en/bootloader-unlocking-code-for-fairphone-3/) and enter it
> 5. Reboot on fastboot by running the command in the PC console `adb reboot bootloader`
>
> 6.*Tip:** All the console commands are run on an adb enabled PC and in the `adb` console.
>
> 7. Ask for unlock with `fastboot flashing unlock`
> 8. Approve with <kbd>volume +</kbd> then <kbd>power</kbd>
> * The device proceed with a factory reset, and automatically reboots
At 8 i maybe made a mistake, when you are in the fastboot mode, you can choose different options, i choosed something like FFBM or something like this. Then the device restarted and since that it always shows the "blue dots" like in the beginning but nothing more happens, since hours.
I turned it off and on again, without success.
I can not load the fastboot again via ADB, because the device is not recognized.
If i try to use the volumeUP or VolumeDOWN at the startup, nothing happens and it restarts again after a few seconds.
So there is no way for me to enter the fastboot mode again.
So I have two questions to you, lovely community.
One is, can anybody help me?
Second, can somebody tell me how the different options are called in the fastboot mode, so i can google it and do more research.
THANKS a lot and sorry for my english :slight_sm
Hi,
Are you able to launch the stock rom or are u stuck on bootloop or bootloader page ?
If you can launch the stock rom, enable oem, debugging and unlock bootloader in developper options.
Then connect phone to pc with the cable and type adb devices
see if the phone is recopgnized.
Then adb reboot bootloader and do all steps of the official guide.
If you use Windows I suggest you to put all file to your adb folder, type CD /path/to/folder/
And copy paste all commands at once, this will avoid error of mishandling during fastboot operations.
If you stuck on a "waiting for phone" when you are in fastboot mode, check you driver, or test with a linux machine or see Hulk's solution here
If you stuck on a bootloop just use the key combo to enter bootloader. check on the bootloader is everything is ok (unlock) if not redone steps to unlock bootloader, then flash recovery from /e/ os folder fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then enter in recovery use the combo key to have the menu choice between bootloader, recovery... then enter recovery and wipe data...
Then restart the official guide of /e/ os.
You may ask on /e/ os forum too many much more Fairphone user are there and can help you (link i gave you above).

Hello,
thanks for your reply.
I posted the same comment at the /E/ OS Forum as well.
I Can not load the stock rom, there are only this blue dots circling around for hours:

}
I can not enter anything else, using ADB is not possible because the device is not recognized and the combination of volumeUP and power or volumeDOWN and power only restarts the device.
Do you have a FP4 and you maybe can tell me which options in the top of the fastboot menu you can choose?
Something like reboot and so on.
I will try the solution in your link in a few hours when i have more time.
Thanks a lot and BR
Bootloader menu options are "start / restart bootloader / recovery mode / power off / boot in ffbm / boot to qmmi"
I don't understand your problem if your bootloader is unlock you must have accesss to bootloader.
Are you sure you didn't relock bootloader before checking the rom is correctly installed ?
Contact /e/ support to have the precise combo key to enter bootloader. sometimes it change from phone to phone.
Does your computer works well with adb and fastboot before ? did you already flash rom ? Maybe a driver is missing or adb/fastboot is not on the last version. You may try with a linux pc to aovid those problem.

How to Boot into bootloader mode
This section will be relevant later throughout the guide, when you need to reboot into bootloader mode.
Remove any USB-C cable and turn off your Fairphone 4
Tip: If you cannot turn your device off, remove the battery for about 5 seconds, then put it back in.
Press and hold the Volume Down button.
Insert a USB-C cable connected to the power (can either be a power outlet or a computer).
Release the Volume Down button as soon you boot into bootloader mode
For more details on how to erase the data on your FP4 refer this guide
I just try this and works great : power off the phone (if you can't just remove battery as said), press vol down and plug the usb cable
My phone has the bootloader locked and flashing locked and it works. try this
You are my hero.
I dont know how many times i read that but i was to stupid to do that correctly.
Now i tried it again and it worked well!
Thanks a lot!
Problem solved.
Just for other idiots like me, i choosed the option boot into ffbm into the bootloader menu, this was my mistake.

Normally PC does not find your device as MTP device while you Hold POWER+home+volumeDown button(I mean fastboot mode without phone bootup).Coz it Shows device as MTP device after Phone bootedup(online).Maybe you tried install its driver as MTP by chosing manual install ? first download and install real usb driver(Adb&fastboot driver) of your samsung phone. https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver then install it. then replug ur phone. Then go Device Manager of your PC,then replug your usb cable,and if you see New Device found like "unknow device or fastboot" then click them then click Properties on it, then click Update driver then click browse for Driver then click Let me pick from list then UNCHECK(unclick) "Show compatible hardware" then find your SAMSUNG ADB driver(if u cant see then click PORTS maybe it installed under Ports drivers) then click next to update it as Fastboot driver . but You can change your PC language to English for See same words in your Pc menus for I help you better coz im not German . but if already your secreen opens ? then you need go phone Settings / about phone/ Tap your phone Firm version 10 times and enable developer menu then enable USB ADB debug for install adb driver easily.if your phone screen not showing anything on screen . then you must just do fastboot mode by fastboot mode keys for install fastboot(samsung android usb driver or ADB driver another name)
When I am in the recovery mode then I see the MTP Window. When I am in the Download Mode I see the other window. I don't now waht the fastboot mode is.

Ignore what the other guy said above, fastboot is not a thing on Samsung phones. You can make it work with some patches however, but by default there is no fastboot.
ok can you tell me in detail so what do you think is the problem and wehre can I find these patches

Thank you for remaining me this option I forgot about it, but I installed a custom Rom, but I'd like to run again on the original software can I install it again. If not, it doesn't matter, but it would be better.
The Rom won't start, the start sign appears but doesn't finish loading.
