Tester needed - Sony Xperia M

Anybody willing to try a flashable zip file on locked bootloader using flash gordon app? It's a stock kernel using andro-SYR method of flashing kernel via recovery but on locked bootloader I'm a little reluctant at the minute as this is my only device. I need someone with more confidence than me and not afraid to reflash stock firmware if it fails also I don't know if it would be possible to do it with the system running. Pm me if you want to try for me or any info you have that might be really helpful. I know your meant to have unlocked bootloader for custom kernels but testing is required

Bro I flashed it and during the flashing no system apps or nothing crashed and I was like its going to work and it said reboot required so I rebooted the phone but powered off but didn't power back on so I took the battery out and tried to power it on it just vibrates but doesn't power on.I guess its bricked or half-bricked. I'm flashing stock firmware again.
UPDATE:it's not bricked after flashing firmware again it turns on:good:
After testing the result is this doesn't work.

Thanks for trying mate just a shame it didn't boot maybe needs tweaking or something

I really doubt it will ever work with Flash Gordon.... It already bricked my device twice so I wouldn't rely on it to flash something like a kernel and the dev said it won't work for roms.

This can happen if you have an SD card that has rooting tools from an older device in it. Try taking your card out, or wiping it.

Install an app from that requires root, if the app requests root and you press allow and the app works you`re rooted. What recovery do you have, samsung or CWM?
Phones don`t modify themselves, people modify phones
@jalu147 Samsung bootloaders are always unlocked, unlike HTC.

Reset the binary flash counter with Triangle Away and flash the stock rom rom with Odin, after that do a data/factory reset and after the reboot your status should say Normal again.

It can be also that the country code does not match your Samsung account region. I had once same when flashing other countries ROM.

N7100 Software Modified
Yes, I am having the same issue, the N7100 is showing that the software has been modified, but it is a stock ROM with no flash. It is from another country though since N7100 is not sold generic in US. Any advice on how to get around it and update?

Try taking you sd card out. I had one that did that to me. Dont understand why but it did.

TWRP confirmed working

Today I had to backup my unlocked Razr M (XT905) using TWRP, wipe and then restore. I can confirm that it all worked.
I did have some issues with backing up to the external sdcard tho.

External SD really isn't well supported on the RAZR.. even in the os itself it doesn't really use it.
However that aside twrp works well on the Aussie hardware.

Thanks cellzealot.
Tried flashing it using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-scorpion_mini.img" in fastboot mode but still got stock recovery? My bootloader is unlocked.
Help? My phone's gone crazy and kept rebooting itself randomly.
Hmm...not sure what to say. That is the image I have on my dev XT907 and should work fine on XT905 with OEM unlock.
Have you tried the one originally posted here by P3Droid?
Either should work although the updated one has better support for JB.

It seems that your English is not that good. To avoid errors, your ODIN must look like this.

Well all right then.
If you cannot enter recovery after a proper stock rom flash, that's a bad news.
I agree with the rest. When you flash stock you should be able to access recovery. If not this is a big problem. I say try flashing either a newer stock rom or go back to square one and start all over from original stock. Some times that is the best way to solve your problems.

Yes this is only the firmware, and No, you can't flash the OTA over a custom ROM. Currently you have to be completely stock.

Well, this bricked my phone. Was running CM11 and had flashed the ND8 modem earlier, which didn't cause any problems. Then I flashed this file in custom recovery, rebooted to find that I had zero cell phone signal, attempted to reboot into download to flash the update.zip file I got from the ota thread, ended up with a phone that does nothing at all. Am I to understand that I'm stuck like this until I buy an SD card reader and install/run a live CD of linux?
Link removed. This is the second account of bricking from flashing this file that I've received, even though I had no issues when flashing.
As of now, the only way I'd recommend of updating to anything ND8 related (including the modem) would be to flash the stock tar in the android dev section and go from there.

[Q] Bootloader, CWM & Rom help

I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.
After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.
Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.
If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.
I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.
No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?

Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.
