Note from anonymous guest - In addition to the article

I want to unsubscribe about the work done. "PociEnt" - xperia M2 dual (2302), vaccination - official firmware Orthodox whale-kat (4.4.4), operating table - win7 x64. The shoals that I encountered:

1) when installing drivers from flashtool \\ drivers, pay attention to the following - first, in the file properties, in compatibility, specify Vista compatibility and run as administrator;

2) when selectively installing drivers, black magic appears and nichrome does not work, ticked off everything - it took off (Windows screams for each driver, they say, counterfeit, we choose "install this driver anyway");

3) in flashtool, when you selected the firmware, on the right, put all the checkboxes in the wipe section (by default they are not), in other places - do not. (if you do not complete this point, you will get an endless download, "will not take off");

4) in the subject there is a phrase "the first download takes a very long time." To clarify, if the download takes more than 10 minutes, then something went wrong;

5) if something went wrong, you need to press something sharp (I - with a pointed match) the off button, which is next to the SIM card slots (under the lid) and start all over again.

As a result of the operation, I have a wonderful smart with an excellent system, everything shines and plows. I import contacts with the sim with one hand, wipe my tears of happiness with the other.
