You should definitely give it a shot, maybe something went wrong while flashing.

What recovery are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rommie88:
Apparently I had the stock one, that must of been the problem. Didn't document well enough.

I've just flashed 6.0.1.2 and I'll flash everything again once I download all the files.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rommie88:
Yep that was it. It runs as it should now. Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshian:
Good to hear!

Slightly related, please note what's going on in the dev section (here). Certain combinations of recovery software and hardware may brick your phone if you try to wipe data. Playing with your new recovery could be dangerous right now, be careful!
[Sony Xperia ZL] martino2k6:
Hi all,

From all that I have seen it doesn't look like the ZL will be officially available in the UK. As such the options for buying a C6503 model are:

Import from Europe

It's quite expensive at the moment, and the retailer which should have no problems shipping abroad (Amazon) had the highest price of them all last time I checked. I can definitely see this working fine, with the German version having en_GB locale support and playing nicely with the operators.

Import from Asia (ie HK)

From Expansys (http://www.expansys.com.hk/sony-xperia-zl-lte-c6503-unlocked-16gb-black-247249) the total works out cheaper by about £60, with the shipping not being much slower. The other positives are that in HK they use the same power plugs as in the UK (no need to mess with power adaptors), and en_GB would definitely come preloaded as a locale. The only worry is that the manufacturer model quoted is 'AP_C6503_BLK', where the 'AP' stands for the Asia-Pacific version. I'm wondering whether this could have any implications on the hardware and software. I suppose as software goes it should always be possible to reflash it to a German firmware, but I can't help but think that something could be different.

Also found this: http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=21943

Despite coming up on Google Shopping with good reviews, I found other review websites which seemed to suggest the opposite. They also claimed to have had it in stock two or three weeks ago (I've been following this page for a while), when it wasn't even released in Europe. Both of these make me think that this website is a bit dodgy, and make me wonder where the device originally comes from (HK, Germany, Russia?).

I'm seriously inclining towards the second option, but I'm wondering whether anyone around here has previous experience or some information that might be able to help make the best choice.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] podgerodge:
Amazon Germany and Amazon Italy now have it for circa €560.
[Sony Xperia ZL] trickyhenry:
Nooo!! do not buy from simply electronics! I had an awful experience and a quick Google will give you the same feedback.

I am in the UK. Love the phone.

I bought mine from eBay from a seller in HK. Took 2 days to arrive via FedEx $599

Seller: jetcodigital

Expect to pay import tax although they did send as a gift with value of $100 so you might be lucky.
[Sony Xperia ZL] martino2k6:
Yeah, that's kind of what I figured about Simply Electronics.

So presumably the device you have is an Asia-Pacific version. Did you notice any differences or oddities when it came to the software/hardware?

Thanks for the feedback, I haven't actually checked eBay yet but will give it a quick look.
[Sony Xperia ZL] trickyhenry:
Hi I haven't noticed anything strange yet. Seems like the right version for me. No odd software or anything. I'm using it on three UK. Everything has worked great right out of the box. Very pleased.

Now I can sell my htc ONE. ( ZL camera is better )
[Sony Xperia ZL] Psycownage:
Another 3 uk user here, got my 6503 for ~£500 after shipping and tax from the states seller: never-msrp.

Even works on 3's secret LTE ;)

Only issue is the US AC adapter.
[Sony Xperia ZL] CLB-NL:
I am gonna buy a white 6503 version from the German site; Cyberport.de

They can send it to several countries and the prices for that aren't that high.

The phone itself will cost you €550,00 and the shipping to the Netherlands (where I live) are only €13,00.

They've got the black version in stock, and the white version (that I want) is gonna be there in several days.

If you want to check out other stores in Germany:

Geizhals.de: black Sony Xperia ZL

Geizhals.de: white Sony Xperia ZL

Geizhals.de: red Sony Xperia ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] martino2k6:
Well, I ended up buying it from Amazon.de, which worked out to pretty much £500 after shipping and currency conversion. While Expansys.com.hk would have been cheaper, I felt that the European warranty was worth the additional price.

The funny thing is that I ordered yesterday and I should get it tomorrow. Ordering a device which isn't available in the UK, from Amazon.de, and guess what? The device was in the Milton Keynes distribution centre! Seems almost ridiculous, really.
[Sony Xperia ZL] trickyhenry:
Let us know how you get on.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I would like a white one but love the black one anyway now I have it. I couldn't wait like you... :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] CLB-NL:
Yeah it will be white for me, only little thing is that the notification led is better to see on the black one I think...

But I don't like the shiny sides of the black one, and when I first saw the white version I fell in love, so that's why.

And I think the notificationbar and bar with the buttons will look better on the white, on the black ZL it looks so greyish.
[Sony Xperia ZL] martino2k6:
I got mine today, and man... it sure looks good and feels nice. It feels a bit heavy, compared to my S3, but I'll get used to that. The screen also looks good when looking at it directly, but gets worse as soon as the viewing angle increases. Although I suppose this is a good thing, as other people trying to look at my device shouldn't see as much as on my S3! The bezel on the side looks a bit bigger than on the pictures, but it's not a big deal. Overall when looking at video or pictures fullscreen it looks stunning, since there is so little bezel.

Now, since I'm a power user, I'm wondering whether I want to unlock the bootloader or just root. I actually don't mind Sony's customisations that much (barring Chrome instead of the stock browser, and the standard Gallery app), however if CM becomes stable enough I might put it on. Perhaps just the root for locked bootloaders will be good enough for now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] trickyhenry:
Nice to know some others in the uk have one. It's an exclusive club!)

Great phone so far for me. No regrets and no disappointment. I feel the same about the viewing angles. I'm stock all the way for once so will enjoy the factory experience.

I'm trialing the battery saving features at the moment. So far today I have had some good results. I'm not one for these features normally but I thought a the phone has had them I would give it a go.

What I mean is some kind of files like build.prop that has the info of touch pressure, touch sensitivity, number of touch points etc. If possible, please mention the system file that determine the air view feature of note 2 and s4.

Can you mention the system file that interchange info within phone and cellular operator? What I mean with info is something like interchanging data usage report to the operator.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashiqrafa:
lately released s4 has the feature of air view by finger by finger and the same feature is available on note2 with s pen. actually both uses the same technology and what I hope is that, Samsung restricted the finger hover ui for note2 to promote s4. so if you can find the location where the air view system file of s4 and compare it with the system file of note2, I think that we can have the finger air view for note2

I use the HimaUpgradeUt.exe, HimaClearJumpCode.exe and HimaGetDeviceData.exe to flash my rom....It's very easy to flash a rom...

what does it mean? Does you mean you buy the xda ii from ebay.co.uk and post it to me, then I post the xda ii directly to you???

or you buy the xda ii with the contract, then i pay the monthly fee and you get the handset....????

"what's your price for that"

I am puzzled, because i dont sell the xda ii why i have MY price???

If you want me to help you buy the xda ii in UK, no problem. I can help you...(bcz, I think you are a chinese guy, otherwise, you will not care the dopod 696 rom :D )

I am trying to get the correct Dopoda696 rom, but still not yet.

If I get the dopod 696 rom, sharing the rom is not a piece of work.

because, I am not the profiteer. I will never do the thing that benefiting from the rom.

modifying language settings of XDA II

I've been reading your interesting flashing thread.

I wonder how do they manufacture different language ROMs like German, Chinese and also English for that matter :) Could it be that we are never going to see those tools specifically made for this job..

I'd really like to modify my XDA II to be different language eg. Finnish which is my native language. I suppose it would require dumping the ROM to harddisk and open it with hexeditor and then translate all possible findings to my or your language. Some job if ROM is 34MB in size.. :)

Does one have to modify CRC's too when messing with the interiors of ROM?

I suppose it is enough if only main characteristics of OS's GUI (including Pocket Outlook) are translated. There's no need for seldomly used parts to be translated.

Help from forum users appreciated. Like getting me on the right track.

Thanks.

FAQ

Q: I have 2012 or 2013 model?

A:

Download root explorer

Go to system/lib/modules

See if the properties of wlan.ko file, after the date and permissions, are -> wlan_mt6628.ko

If yes you have the 2013 version, if is -> wlan_mt6620 you have the 2012 version

HOW TO

Improve GPS antenna - Difficulty: MEDIUM - guide by Robsup79 - ideas from Frandroid Forum

Scratch tint to the left of the flash of about 8x3 mm

Cut 2mm of copper with a cutter as show, this operation unwire the original antenna from the connector

Isolate with electrical tape to avoid interference, leaving 3x3mm copper contact

Put the new antenna, secure it with a small piece of tape on the bottom to ensure the contact

If you have curved smoothly, the installation of the cover will press to ensure good contact
