[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] entertaining:
Hi everyone,

I am trying to root my sola in the way shown in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2029756

I have completed step 1, flashing MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf, and now am trying to root my phone with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry but I keep getting stuck. (The build number appear to be 6.1.1.B.1.54 after flashing 6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf, is this what it should be?)

I checked my usb debug option which is on, and tried to install all needed drivers. I think what is happening is that there are some missing drivers I need to install, but I have got no idea what the real problem is.

Background:

Sony sola, upgraded to 4.0.4 few days ago, locked bootloader, having wifi problem which I want to solve by rooting http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980927

Windows7 32-bit

Thanks much for helping
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Snowstormzzz:
I believe this method does not work for latest firmware. Look for the .54 file, flash that, root, then flash the .10.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
Re: [Q] Sola root problem

The guide which you are referring to is perfect....

As shown in the image you need to install adb drivers..... So just install them...... Search for them on Google or install pc companion and it would be installed directly...

Try restarting the pc once you install the drivers..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Well, I just updated and I now have 60794.

But I would consult http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880781 for all the gory details. I know if you have a corporate account, your PRL may not be in the 60xxx series, eg back in 2011 corporate customers were suddenly switched from a 60xxx PRL to something like 0111x

That's my answer to the *literal* question you asked.

But I might go further and suggest PRL is almost *never* the cause of someone's signal "messing up" on an Evo. Read the OP in that thread carefully, especially the part about "common PRL myths" and I think you'll agree your issue is probably something else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrollercoasters:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad The Pathfinder:
Not that Sprint store personnel lie, but I do NOT trust what they say. For years I went to stores to get problems fixed and all they would do is a factory reset. A couple of times they just sat the phone in the back for a half hour and brought it to me saying they fixed it.

Any way, here is something we were talking about on the Shift forums the other day. Maybe it can help you. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346680
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AA27:
Don't know if it is because of upgrades or shifting PRL's but my signal is acting up lately. From calls dropped to loosing complete data connection.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
PRL's have to do with roaming and the priority of towers to use when roaming, nothing to do with native 1X signal or your data connection

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AA27:
Well, then how I am losing signal and fall into roaming when I am in my zone?

I have a LG-P500 and it had custom rom before. Yesterday, I decided to return it to stock using KDZ. After flashing with KDZ, it has started boot looping at the screen where "Android" is displayed everytime I turn on the phone? I tried reflashing it again and again with KDZ with the same stock file. I even redownloaded the file again from LG's servers again 2x just to make eliminate the possibility of a bad flash file.

Anyone got ideas on how to fix my dilemma?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
First thing I would do is to download the kdz using this, then see if the file's different from what you've already tried. Also, you can try flashing it through LGMDP.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junior Einstein:
Re: [Q] How to solve boot loop problem?

Remove battery > hold volume down + home + power until factory reset > now it will be fine

Thanks for this! It worked!
[Sony Xperia ZL] gtrab:
The Xperia Z subforum is very active, but this one looks like a ghost town to date.

Anybody thinking of the ZL instead of the Z?

Camera button, IR blaster, smaller frame...

Mater of tastes and choices.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Funk2641:
I'm totally getting both
[Sony Xperia ZL] schecter7:
I'm waiting for its US release. If it takes too long, I'll get a Canadian one off ebay provided it's AT&T LTE compatible. If that doesn't happen as well by the end of March or mid-April, I'll simply get an HTC. I already started missing the bigger screen on my HOX that I traded for a TL. So hurry up - Sony.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Riyal:
Ok lol! This is weird how come I can't see this forum on the index page? Same for me I'm planning to get the Xperia ZL. But if HTC One will beat it with the availability on my country then off to HTC One for me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] arcwindz:
Me!

I don't need the water/dust proof, getting rid of those flaps would be a good thing for me
[Sony Xperia ZL] Deleted member 3151966:
I am getting it, more compact plus camera button plus IR, it's going to be my next.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Darkfunnyguy:
I am looking at getting the ZL as well rather the than the Z but will wait to have a look at the Samsung Galaxy S4 first.
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
I am getting either ZL, HTC one or S4. Want the AT&T LTE :) Not a big fan of samsung but their CPU always better and their OS update...
[Sony Xperia ZL] refract:
I'm looking to grab ZL and start cooking my own ROMs/kernels once for a change ( I think I'm the only programmer with a diploma that hasn't been an active developer on XDA :| ), but apparently availability is going to be crap, so I might have to get a Z instead :\

GG Sony !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Spectre51:
Expect it mid March.
[Sony Xperia ZL] exchequer598:
Can't wait to get it here in India; I heard it will be available here in April.

On a sidenote, why is this section not showing up when searching from the forum homepage?!
[Sony Xperia ZL] arcwindz:
I can't find this forum on the device search, can the moderator fix this?
[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
I definately will get it as soon as it's available in Canada.

I am hearing talk that the ZL here will launch with s600 instead of s4 Pro. Anyone want to comment?
[Sony Xperia ZL] exchequer598:
Source? Pretty sure that both the Z and the ZL will have the S4 Pro.
[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
Rumor comes from esato forums. Also another source on neogaf suggests the Z will launch in North America with S600 as well. This could explain why we're getting so little info on these phones, and why the North American launch is coming2 months after most other markets.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Spectre51:
That's the case for the US. The Z launch being later is for other reasons.

[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
xperia ZL hasn't been released in Europe either, is it North America exclusive only?
[Sony Xperia ZL] godzifa:
I think I'll get a ZL when it will be available in Switzerland. I hope it will be soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Shiggity:
If what I've researched is true, Sprint's 4G LTE (A GSM tech) runs on the 1900 MHz band... If this is indeed true I might use some of my tax refund money to get this baby and save my upgrade for another time. I'm weighing my options. I'm also considering the Galaxy Note II, but I'll see.
[Sony Xperia ZL] akong702:
Well, apparently androidcentral is reporting that the ZL, will have LTE bands working on ATT and T-mobile. If this is true, that would be so awesome! I cannot wait! :laugh:

Do you guys know in which European countries the ZL will be officially distributed by Sony?

Thank you :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
Got reply from BLT!
[Sony Xperia ZL] nik.taylor:
Spectre51 - I know you arent allowed to say much but you you be able to let us know if it's more like days or weeks or months we are going to have to wait for the C6506?
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
He said first week of April..
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhagiratha:
My ZL arrived at the house a few minutes ago. Still at work! :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] nik.taylor:
I missed that post.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
which version?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhagiratha:
the C6502
[Sony Xperia ZL] adsam3927:
The majority of people here including myself are waiting for C6506 LTE version ...not C6502

The reason I ordered from BLT was to get it before the carrier release in Canada on April 2 but with this delay it may turn out to be pointless
[Sony Xperia ZL] greatremix:
EBay, 749...TAT...it's so expensive...but I just can't wait any longer
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
The one with Carrier probably has locked bootloader, not too sure but it is locked to Rogers. There is still more than 10 days to April 2nd.

Did you buy one? Where are you buying it from? C6506?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
omg, I think we should cancel with BLT, the ETA is delays until 4/12...too long -,-

We should change to PLEMIX, http://www.plemix.com/phone-sony-c6502-phone, nice price with $30 coupon, but 6502 not 6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
They only changed the black one to 4/12/2012 and probably white one would be delayed double the time, it says past due now.

I stay with them for now, till I find more legit alternative. Still up to get a C6506.

My source at Sony USA hasn't made any comments. Its hard to get leaked information.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
Im asking myself that LTE is really necessary for us or not!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
No its not:D

But I think I rather to have it. Maybe not.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
what will your alternate choice if the delay takes so long?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
I think I wait till April and we may hear something or just find a good price on C6502 or 03.

I have another source, that I have emailed them to see if they know any dates.

The delay could have a good reason.
[Sony Xperia ZL] adsam3927:
And the source is ???

No longer a 10 day wait !

As a pure Androidian ,now I'm beginning to ponder on waiting all out for Google I/O and a new Nexus hopefully with KLP...its only a few more weeks after ZL official release

But I don't know if I can have the patience to not have the latest and greatest in my hand :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
Sources are different friends working for Sony's different departments which probably don;t know much and a mobile seller which probably could ask their distributor. If I really knew what is going on, then I probably had a ZL in my hand.

From what I understood and articles on possibilities on Google I/O, its more software related but Google is always for surprise but next mobile device from Google should come out by the end of the year.
[Sony Xperia ZL] greatremix:
So not necessary...since in my area, it'll pump back to HSPA frequently anyway
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhagiratha:
Arrived 03/22/2013

Na, I ran back to the Z..6602
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
I just ordered mine, from ebay....couldn't wait any longer
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
I feel you.Probably you have done the right thing.

Keep us posted.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
Im waiting for plemix answer me some questions, if ok, I will go with 6502 :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
then please let me know. Do they sell the white as well?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
they only have the black one. Tmobile still dont have LTE yet, and even if they had it, the price would be high!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
There are more reasons for me to wait and people who have ordered the Red color. Week ends suck only when you are waiting for something.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Spectre51:
ZL "should" be available starting tomorrow from Sony direct. Just got that info today.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
Thanks buddy for the information. Where is Sony Direct?

Your new avatar looks nice.

Cheers,
[Sony Xperia ZL] Spectre51:
Directly from Sony aka Sony store online.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
Is the price going to stay secret till tomorrow?

Cant wait til mid April...and been reading more and more reviews which are beginning to point out build quality issues ,screen quality discrepancies and disappointing Exmor RS results ...bought a Netgear PTV3000 Miracast adapter in prep for ZL screen mirroring and now this delay !!!....

So cancelled BLT order and just pulled trigger on HTC One from UK due in this week...which now also supports Miracast :thumbup:...its not due til end of Apr here so if for any reason I don't like it...I'm sure I can sell for a tidy profit and by then ZL should be out...so I think I'll be fine either way.

The next few months are an exciting time for phone junkies like me with S4, ZL HTC One and possible Moto X phone....:D
[Sony Xperia ZL] thanhdang:
What? $760 + tax for the ZL?

At that price I can buy for myself an ultrabook

[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
on ebay it's like 592 dollars....wow but no warranty if you get it from ebay I think...
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
Anyone hear from ShopBLT?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
I canceled the c6506 last night, maybe I will get the c6502 later. Nothing from shopBLT, but beware if your zl had problem, it would complicated to return or exchange with them, the ****ing shopBLT policy makes me so confused -,-
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
But the one from BLT should be and they stated that will have the US warranty and shouldn't be hard to do it with Sony USA.

You could double check for yourself.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
ShopBLT is showing an estimated date of 4/12 for the black one, the other colors were not updated yet. Hopefully we get it earlier than the estimated date.
[Sony Xperia ZL] paullu:
shopblt they will rise the price that is for sure

don't think will be stay at 574.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
they said they will honor the price. I stay with my preorder unless something else comes up that sounds better. As of now, there is not C6506 available anywhere,
[Sony Xperia ZL] paullu:
they will losing money if they stay that price. I don't think so they will sell at the price.

anyway I just cancel my order and thinking to order 6502 from ebay
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
Can't say they are losing money when we don't even know what the wholesale price is.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
^^That.

In addition, these folks sell many stuff online and they are smart enough to not to price an item before they ask for the price from source.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
sony show a high price to wholesale to dealer like BTL and they won't stick with warranty :) small profit but high sales
[Sony Xperia ZL] djruckuss66:
I cancelled my preorder with ShopBLT too. Went with the C6502 on ebay, so I guess I'll have to live without LTE for now. Those of you who are willing to wait for the C6506, props to you!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
If I could find the white one on ebay for cheap price like black then probably i would have done that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] djruckuss66:
yeah that guy who I bought it from on ebay has the white, but it's like $70 more for it! Screw that $hit. Hoping to get my ZL in the next few days. Hopefully I won't have the build quality issues that I've seen some people on here have had.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
waiting for white too, not too fond of the pattern on the back of the black one. I think if we wait a few more weeks once the phone is officially released in NA as we see more they price will go down.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
price will go down for sure. Buying it officially from Sony store cost money but should be cheaper through authorized dealers.

I am still waiting. BTL doesn't have any more information on this.
[Sony Xperia ZL] paullu:
check the BTL website someone just buy 101 xperia zl:D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
I saw that too. Its worthless since I doubt if he can sell them. Still enjoying my time while standing in line.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
From what I see, whoever is waiting for BLT is going to wait another 20 days or so.

The ETA for white now is: 04-11-2013

Sony will ship the phone to customers and other shops on April 8th and after few days they will have it which makes sense now. I think as we saw on Sony's site, they had in mind to release it sooner and that is the date BLT had and now its changed.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
Just hoping for a possbility of them getting it earlier and shipping it out.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
It's maybe a trick to increase the price after 1st pre-order batch :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
Did you order your phone?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
Yes, the black c6502 :) and still waiting for somewhere better :D but Im worry about that would sony cover warranty for BTL's items, I asked and be waiting for answer.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
I would not buy the ZL from ShopBLT for the following reason.

Sony honors its limited product warranties only when the products are purchased from an in-network reseller. Purchasing Sony products out-of-network places Sony customers at risk. NO WARRANTY if you but out of network. http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...d=10551&langId=-1&cmsId=sony_retailer_landing
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
But I got this from BLT
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
I filed a claim on sony cell phone before and they will check the SI number and IMEI. If it's the US model then they will warranty but outside US then they will tell you to contact sonystyle from that country. They fixed the xperia Ion I bought from Ebay but refuse to fix the xperia S I bought with the SI number from France with screen problem.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
The product has a one year warranty but Sony has the option to refuse it because the product was purchased from a non authorized dealer.

If someone knows better, fell free to correct me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
the black one is in stock with Sony Store online

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666540742
[Sony Xperia ZL] akong702:
For $759? Forget it!! Waiting for the white, and price drop.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
White and BLT deal would be nice for me
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
MY ZL will be arriving tomorrow :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
From where?
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
They didn't refuse when I bought the xperia Ion on Ebay. They fixed mine
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
we maybe able to get BLT give us a paper showing the item was purchased from Sony.

Sometimes even you can ask them to send it to repair for you since they are the original buyer.

Sony warranty is weird but I hope its not that much of a problem in case we need it,.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
new rep from BLT
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
Sony!.

I am still on the phone with the Sony sales rep but now they are telling me it is a system glitch and the black one is not in stock :eek::eek:.

No stock for another 2 weeks. Crazy, but it got it for a lot less than the online price if they have it in stock. :D

Edit

WTF SONY! The black one is not in stock. Expected ship date April 9. 2013.

They had my money but screwed up.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
How much?

I could have bought it from their website for cheaper too but TAX in CA is a deal breaker for me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
It was supposed to be around $624 before taxes with free next day air shipping.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
How could you buy it for cheaper?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
aunt is a Sony employee but in a totally different division. She could get it little bit cheaper but not much.

BLT has the best price so far. Still waiting.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dachao:
I get a corporate discount up to 20%
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
so lucky :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
I just got my xperia zl from ebay, but noticed it's missing an screen protector....weird does it come with one or not?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
missing it from the box? I doubt if it comes with ZL but shatter proof layer should be installed.
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
yeah its not there, but i saw an unboxing video and there was one...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
C6502 or C6503? they could differ depends on the market where they were made for. I don't understand why they can't just make a standard packing content for everyone.

Just to confirm, the shatter proof layer is installed?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Shatter Proof layer is already Preinstalled, and It IS SUPPOSED to come with a screen protector.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
is it listed on the box?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
No, But I can clearly see it on my Phone and others, and also the Protector was in my Box.
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
Mine didn't have a protector inside the box, and my box was sealed...I have no clue where it's from it's c6502 model
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
It depends on which region of your ZL.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
bloody thing is very tempting, I hope I can hold myself and not order from ebay
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
how would I find that out? can't find anything on the box
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
On the bottom of the box it will have a support phone number.

Like mine says Sony Indiesa
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
Mine might be from Europe because I see the European union flag...also might be why it has address of sony Mobile in Sweden...so, I'm guessing mine is from sweden
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
there is a number xxxx-xxxx that if you give it to Sony support chat, they should be able to tell you where is the phone from.
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
