Would it/is it possible to Live boot a linux distro from a USB OTG connection?

e.g. somehow set up the phone to boot from USB OTG, plug in a usb stick with a linux arm distro and away we go?

Alternatively, can it be done with a SD-card?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
Hey guys,

Just wondering if the Sony Xperia Z will come with a locked or unlocked bootloader?

if it is locked, can it easily be relocked after unlocking it for warranty purposes?

I know there isnt much info out right now, but i have never owned a sony xperia phone so,

someone shed some light for me? (:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Devices from carriers usually can't be unlocked. If you buy it outright then usually it can be unlocked. The process does not record your full IMEI and can be relocked after so you are pretty safe in that regard. My HTC takes the full IMEI (so it can be identified) and if you lock it then it goes to "re-locked" and not "unlocked" .... so the sony method is actually pretty good.

Before buying you can always check on a live unit if bootloader can be unlocked.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
Ah okay thanks mate,
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
hmm new to Sony here too. So what are the chances of pre-orders from carriers being bootloader locked? Just to clarify, does that mean carrier purchased devices are useless (if they are locked)? I was planning to get my device from Orange Uk as i can get a pretty decent 40% off the monthly tariff which makes it the best deal for me. But if it is locked then I may need to pass on this....bummer
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
Well, if i recall correctly, the verizon droid DNA had a permanent locked bootloader too, but the guys here on XDA found a way to crack it.

who knows, maybe there will be a loophole discovered after the first few days?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakkaroto:
I'm currently using a T-Mobile Xperia T, and the bootloader is not unlockable. So I would guess the same for the Z.

Though I think early units are generally unlocked (but don't quote me on that but this was the case with my Galaxy SIII and another guy mentioned this for UK network 3).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmtruppler:
AW: [Q] Xperia Z Bootloader?

Is this just the way sony handles it's bootloader?

I unlocked several different phones which were ordered from a carrier without problem. Depends on the device itself!

But Sony seems to be very developer-friendly. There's a developer site on sonys website, where details about bootloaders are posted. Don't know the exact url atm, I'm at work... :D

For me it is essential to get a phone where bootloader can be unlocked. My first phone was a lg, without custom rom I would not use it anymore... :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It all depends on the country. In The Netherlands all bootloaders can be unlocked, even if it are branded handsets from a carrier.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
again as mentioned this is my first Sony Android device so please bare with me. Can someone explain the reasons to unlock the bootloader as from what i've seen people have said u still can flash ROMS with a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
If you're getting any sort of subsidy discount, it's highly likely your device will not be unlockable.

The general rule for Sonys is: If it is sold SIM-locked, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader. If it is sold SIM-unlocked, you'll be able to unlock the bootloader. If the carrier later gives you a SIM-unlock code for a device that is sold SIM-locked, your bootloader will remain locked (Sony is working on trying to change this with carriers).

Sony's bootloader security is pretty strong. If the Z were likely to have a loophole, the T would've probably been defeated by now.

You can cross-flash firmwares for other devices, but you cannot flash anything that has a modified kernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
Thanks Entropy for your very helpful reply! I appreicate it :)

In regards to the discount, it is only because a friend works for them and in return are given a discount for friends and family. Otherwise it will be just the same as purchasing it direct from my carrier. My usual experience with purchasing a phone from a carrier, especially a newer phone which has 'just' (first batch usually) released is that they are usually simfree stock (sim unlocked), but heres hoping!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REAVER117:
The Bell (Canada) Xperia ZL I have has an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Only stok based roms... cm, miui, paranoid, etc bootloader must be unlocked so you can flash custom kernel

Sent from my LT26i
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
So therefore AOSP roms cannot run on a Locked bootloader due to requiring a different kernel. Where as variations/modded versions of Sony's rom can be flashed due to not requiring a custom kernel.

I think I understand now. The Sony rom looks decent to be honest which isn't something I can say about Touchwiz. It is actually skinned nicely and I wouldnt mind a de-bloated version of that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brambizimski:
I'm pretty sure sony will unlock it, judging from Sony's recent actions where they released the kernel source for the T if i'm not mistaken. Why wouldn't they do it for this monster phone right?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It's already listed on Sony's "Unlock Bootloader" site. So i guess they'll all unlock, unless you get it carrier branded/simlocked and they ( carrier ) will interfere with unlocking process.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
I believe you need an unlocked bootloader to be able to boot the rom?

For htc devices, you need an unlocked bootloader, but it does not have to be S OFF.

If it was S ON, you just had to do an extra process of manual flashing the boot.img through fastboot
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
This is pretty simple if it's sim locked then it's also bootloader locked. The issue is not if you bought it on your carrier or on a retailer store. It's about locks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
Depending on what you mean by "boot the rom" i am assuming you are referring to AOSP roms which use a different kernel to stock roms usually. Thus if you cannot flash a custom rom on the phone with a "locked" bootloader, you are stuck with stock Sony type roms. Don't mind it personally just sucks i cannot experience the great kernels that the XDA devs release. Fingers cross the first batch of pre orders will be unlocked though as they are usually sim unlocked in my experience.

50% true. As Entropy said the simlock can be "unlocked" by the carrier. This will therefore then be a sim unlocked device, but the bootloader remains locked. This needs to be clarified to Sony noobies like myself who may think sim unlocking will result in a unlocked bootloader, or by buying a sim unlocked device from say Ebay they have definately gotten a unlocked BL.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
It's different again. With a locked bootloader you can't flash a custom kernel *at all*. I'm on a HOX now so I know all about the stupid htc bootloader unlock ;) It basically means the device is useless for custom roms etc..

Still waiting to see if my local carrier will lock it or not, they have a mixed history with simlocking devices so could go either way. If it is locked I'll just pick get an iphone instead (should be roughly same price on contract) to sell on ebay and buy my sony outright ;) I'll make it work one way or another.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emptyragnarok:
Hi, I saw many posts related to this topic Wi-Fi turns off when phone in deep sleep but not able to find a single working solution.

My phone runs on 4.2.1 with wi-fi sleep policy set to NEVER ( that means always on ideally ) , and tried turning on / off wifi optimization, avoid poor connections is not ticked.

Even after doing everything the wifi is turned off after sometime and when i turn on Screen it turns it back! How to do I solve this?? I am using STOCK rom, with just root.. No other battery saver etc. app installed.

Am i correct in understanding that you don't want it to disconnect? The option in the settings is "Keep wifi on during sleep". If you have it at Never, then it will disconnect when the phone goes into sleep. It should be placed on Always because you want it to be on even during sleep

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikymro:
fixed the wifi problem

Heya! My first post!!!

So, i had the same problem on my Allview P5 Quad.

The guys from Allview released an update for my phone based on 4.2.1 and i thought the problem was from them. I had WiFi turned on and after a few minutes from entering sleep mode, the WiFi got disconnected, both WiFi and data. I have installed the last update again and again, rooted, unrooted, tried every option from WiFi and i still had the same problem.

So i timed the time when the WiFi disconnects and it was exactly 6 minutes. So i thought that it must be an option that does this. So i unchecked the Quick Power Saving icon from Switches and ... SURPRISE! My WiFi stays on continuously. So, the problem is from the system power saving settings. I hope this helps all of you.

P.S. Love this forum! Thanks for all your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amd-dude:
I believe I found the problem, some how it is not the phone but my wifi router (and all routers) is the problem. Go into your router settings and look for the "Beacon Interval" and set that number to 50. I'm not going to explain what the beacon interval is, go google it and you will see. I switched mine and now the wifi on my phone does not switch off when in deep sleep.

Quick rundown from a Phoronix artificial that does a pretty good job of a quick breakdown on the differences.. It even includes some benchmarks :)

Note that Android is normally compiled with O2 and Os

For those unfamiliar with the different optimization flags, see the GCC optimize options documentation. The tested flags used in this article include:

-O0 - Reduce compilation time and make debugging produce the expected results. This is the default.

-O1 - Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function.

-O2 - Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code.

-O3 - Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2 and also turns on the -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-vectorize, -fvect-cost-model, -ftree-partial-pre and -fipa-cp-clone options.

-Os - Optimize for size. -Os enables all -O2 optimizations that do not typically increase code size. It also performs further optimizations designed to reduce code size.

-Ofast - Disregard strict standards compliance. -Ofast enables all -O3 optimizations. It also enables optimizations that are not valid for all standard-compliant programs. It turns on -ffast-math and the Fortran-specific -fno-protect-parens and -fstack-arrays.
