AW: About goroh_kun & huhka_com exploit on C6603 / 10.1.A.1.350

No, wont help. An unlock blocked bootloader is locked for good. No way around it and I judge from your post, you dont read other threads so you have no idea whats going on: Sony - as other manufacturers did and do - didnt compromise Qcoms security installments in place by poorly engineering the phone. Bootloader security barrier most likely wont ever be broken through.
[Xperia Z General] cirrus888:
How exactly do you remove a directory like that?
[Xperia Z General] nazrin313:
Use root explorer.. Worked like a charm
[Xperia Z General] cirrus888:
I didn't remove it I just renamed it to usf1 it worked! But there are a lot of files in that folder. Is it not important?
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
I take it your talking about official bootloader unlocking? Coz obviously a dev might work out how to unlock a bootloader using other ways which would mean a blocked bootloader can be unlocked. :p
[Xperia Z General] JPWOA:
Hi everyone

I'm new at this root things so I would like to make a couple of questions if you don't mind...

I have a SIM Free UK Xperia Z, so I think my bootloader is unlockable. The thing is I don't want to do it (at least for now) because I will loose DRM keys, BE2, and my warranty...

1- Can I root using this method without unlocking the booloader?

2- If I root my phone with this method I mantain my DRM keys, BE2 and can restore it like when it came from factory?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z General] nazrin313:
1. Yes

2.Yes

:)
[Xperia Z General] JPWOA:
Thanks :)

One last question.

If Sony releases an update...Can I update it? I will loose root right?

AW: About goroh_kun & huhka_com exploit on C6603 / 10.1.A.1.350

I covered this in my initial post: recognized elite Android god Entropy512 himself, stated repeadetly, that bootloader security on Qualcomm devices is very strong. If it gets broken (this is what you ask/hope for) then it's usually because the manufacturer ****ed up Qcomms security. Sony, so it seems, does not have done that so an "unofficial" unlock or "bootloader crack" is very unlikely on the current devices, such as the Xperia T and Xperia Z.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Most likely, yes. Or better: usually, yes, exemptions exempt. You will be able to update and keep root using the help and procedures which will be published in this forum.

[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
Make sure your file explorer is configured to access system directories (such as /data) in root mode. You may need to change a setting to enable root access.

/data is definitely not empty, it's filled with plenty of other stuff.
[Xperia Z General] Stephan van der Molen:
Thanks! Worked like a charm... after a reboot

[Xperia Z General] Flying_Hero:
Download any File explorer which can access to root. I tried ES File manager but when i try to access root the phone restarts. Tried some suggestions but couldn't fix it. At the end I looked for diferent file explorers and find one. It's Root File Manager.

Open the manager, give it root access and press home button on top. Open the /data directory and delete ufs dricetory.

And then fixed NFC problem!

Hi

I have the some NFC problem and after rename USF to USF1 and restart xperia NFC roulez...: Bom:
[Xperia Z General] binku:
Where can I find the folder or file? and how??

Thanks so much!!
[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
You find the folder - surprise - where it lies. And by - surprise - navigating there with a file explorer. Or you may use command line tools, whatever suits you best.

You get there by going to the root of your device ("/") then tapping the data directory ("/data") and then renaming or removing the usf directory ("/data/usf") which resides there.

May I ask, why you rooted your device?

Hello Everyone..

Something unusual(pleasing) happened.. First of all I have XZ(C6602) with locked bootloader and rooted. Yesterday I was flashing a custom ROM for locked bootloader through recovery and it got stuck. I tried hard rebooting the phone(Vol Up + Power). And I was stuck at Sony Logo. I used SUS to revive the phone. I had made a backup of all the apps through Sony Backup software. I restored the back up today and again rooted but this time NFC is not broken. I can use NFC as well. This has got me thinking but I am not really sure as to how this worked. :)

Sony Xperia ZL: goroh_kun & huhkna_com ROOT exploit Camera issue

Hello,

I successfully rooted my Sony Xperia ZL C6506 with the goroh_kun & huhkna_com exploit found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2186368, and all seems okay. Except, when I try to use the camera in Picture Effect Mode. Each time I select the Picture Effect mode in the camera menu, it crashes the camera. I have searched and could not find any mention of this problem elsewhere.I have tried rebooting the device but the problem still remains. If this is a known issue, is there a fix for it? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Flash the 434 again and wipe everything. Data cache whatever

That works, until you flash custom firmware again, then it breaks again. There is no UFS folder when running CM, AOKP, or PAC.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spence:
Hi there - great information thanks - now I'm a little confused though..

I'm new to the concept of upgrading my unit (see Newbie thread - but it's not that interesting ;-)) I was going to flash Jeff's 1.1 ROM onto it, but now I read this ..

Does the 1.1 ROM have "always on" GPRS, or should I be looking at PPC 2003 if I want this ? Which ROM is better ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Cyberb0b:
it depends more of the radio stack than the CE ROM i guess.

i didn't have a permanenet gprs on SE 1,1, but i had to upgrade radio stack to 4,21 to have it working on my PPC2003 version
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spence:
ok I understand now, but what are the differences between the two ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Cyberb0b:
between 2002 ans 2003 ?

if this is the question have a look at the post concerning ppc2003 in the rom update forum and by screenshot on pda site reviews to make up your mind about it.

Personaly there are no "big" changes only a suite of little features.

info bubble are more detailed

accessability to sound and some dialing interface

connexion management has been simplified to the extreme

of course the pseudo permanent gprs (ok it does not shut off when incoming calls are engaged but it is not really active btw so it will time out any ftp or irc session on the xda for instence).

well many little things taht made a suitable evolution.

:)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spence:
cheers - yeah that's what I meant - it's all sinking in now!

Then tell us, do you want to SIM unlock, if you do then that is a paid for service not available on xda, or do you want to unlock the bootloader in order to root the phone (jail break) if so Read the all in one thread for instructions.

Its the first thread in the Q And A section, just where this post should be.

Hey guys!!

We may have a solution to the recovery issue found after updating to the 4.2 build!!

However, someone needs to run some commands in ADB for the TeamWin team.

I am NOT on the 4.2 update or i would do it myself.

But if there is someone on the 4.2 update who isnt very familiar with ADB, i am more than happy to run a TeamViewer remote desktop session to figure this out.

I cannot wait to solve this!

Hi,

Have just been talking to Dees_Troy and this is what he had to say

<Dees_Troy> We are going to have to update the kernel

<Dees_Troy> The new bootloader changed something about the partition scheme

<Dees_Troy> I will post a test build tomorrow in the 300 twrp thread

<Dees_Troy> Without the new kernel the entire internal emmc chip doesn't show up at all

<Dees_Troy> Having the new kernel will fix it but I won't be able to patch it to allow backup and restore of boot / kernel until we get source

<Dees_Troy> If you hang around another hour I might have time to make a test build

So where getting somewhere now :good:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
Will do, just waiting to hear back about test build :D :good:

Here is slightly more detailed method of what I did:

What I did is from running CROMI, I booted into twrp and first I did a clean wipe then installed WW_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip which can be extracted from the WW_epaduser_10_4_2_20_UpdateLauncher.zip

Downloaded the TF300T_WW_epaduser_10_6_1_8_SDupdate.zip from the Asus website, unzipped and renamed EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip to WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip, copied to internal sd card and after a few seconds get the triangle update notification in the notification menu of loaded android os.

I clicked and installed and once the system had rebooted into new android 4.2.1 system I get another triangle notification in notification menu with a downgrade option to 10.4.2.20.

If you do not get the notification to downgrade back to 4.1.1 you can try copying the WW_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip to you internal sd card and you should then get notification after a few seconds.

There is no need to boot into stock recovery, just click on the notification in the notification menu that pop up from loaded android os.

You can boot into fastboot and flash twrp if you want but it will be encrypted/unusable so best to wait for the new build of recovery.

looks like they did some low level optimization of tegra3 to improve IO and that broke compatibility with older kernels, that would explain how a lot of people find stock 4.2 faster than 4.1 even if by itself its actually an "heavier" build.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. When I try fastboot flashing the device hangs. Under device manager everything says ASUS so I doubt your problem has anything to do with that.
