[Sony Xperia ZL] captaink85:
First off I'd like to say thank you so much for all of your help!

So after install and being patient ie waiting a bit the android system called down and is 5 percent battery usage which is great.

But now media server is acting up so I took the next step and rooted this phone because I know there are apps like rescan media that disable media background processes.

So my battery is lasting much longer I still have a lot of heat on my battery but at least not 50 degrees C! Adverse is now 35.5 which is hot but manageable.

Still going to try and get the temp below 30 degrees because this phone having an internal battery, it's not a good idea to kill your battery within the first year.

Again thanks a lot guys and all the best to Ya. I'll still be around though and hopefully next time I can help :) :):):):D:thumbup:

I installed 4.2.2 Generic US on my Rogers Xperial ZL 6506 and it's working like a charm. I think I will stick with the Generic US as it will get updates quicker vs waiting for the Carrier to release something.

If I perform the OTA followed by a factory reset, will I have the same results?

Picking up an unbranded ZL tomorrow and thinking about my 4.2.2 options :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Yes, in fact, you don't even need to factory reset.

Just a tip, if you do plan on unlocking your bootloader make sure to backup your TA partition to keep your DRM keys, unlocking wipes the TA partition which is used to store said DRM keys. I found that after I already unlocked(I was a bit over eager), my only hope is that they don't check for DRM keys when doing warranty work in case something ever happens.

Quick questions

Hi,

I was interested in some android 4.2.x features that i have seen in Motorola (sorry for that!)...

after the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2 there were at least 2 functions that id did not find in my Xperia ZL:

1.- Different volumes for Notification and Ringtone

2.- Screeen capture option in the power off menu

does anybody know if it is possible to enable them in this Generic US Firmware?

thanks in advance!

There are FTFs for all models, I'm sure there is one for the C6502.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Generic US Firmware means it's stock. You will need a custom ROM for these functions. Look in the Android Development forum for them, and if you have an unlocked firmware, look in the Original Android Development forum for even more customization.
[Sony Xperia ZL] stygian16:
The only ones I see for C6502 are India and Malaysia. Won't this cause issues flashing on US phone?

For those who wants to flash 4.4.4 on their Xperia ZL C6506, flashing the upgrade from C6503 works like a sharm.

Hi,

Is it possible to buy a sim free XDAIIi, which can be used outside UK.

I checked with the O2 shop in London, and they said they only sell it on with a plan, which means Sim locked.

If it is available in any country, i can have it bought.

It is still not available in Hong Kong and O2 Asia Pac says they have no clue when it will be launched.

Thanks for any advice.

Best regards

Although it is sim free you will have to check with them if it is locked or not.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] belisknerprime:
Well, I sure hope I didn't jack up my new phone for good.

I was using odin to get OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 working.

I booted the phone into download mode, then connected and waited for my phone to be recognized. I selected the correct tar and hit start.

It failed on the first write section, and I couldn't get it to continue so i turned my phone off and tried to boot into download mode again. Now no matter what I do it gives me the "firmware upgrade failed" message and tells me to connect to Kies, but Kies will not detect my device.

Any ideas?

For reference I was following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2260031 to the letter.

I will continue to work on this for awhile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
If you can still get into download mode try using odin to flash a complete firmware made for your specific device and obtained from sammobile.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Odin flash

If I were you I would forget about KIES and uninstall it along with any other samsung applications and drivers

you have on your computer, then reboot your computer and download only the Samsung USB Drivers.

Once you have the latest samsung usb drivers install it and restart your computer.

That way you will have a clean start, and if the screen of your phone displays

anything at all, especially if it displays something about kies then that proves that

your phone will go into download mode if it's done properly.

Press the volume down, home and the power button at the same time until the phone vibrates

and then let go of the power button first before letting go of the other two buttons.

Before you do any of this, you need to download the stock Samsung Jellybean

v4.2.2 M919 MDL Touchwiz Odin flash firmware.

Here is the link to download it: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip

Here is the latest Samsung USB Drivers download: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...ng_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] belisknerprime:
Well did finally get Kies to pick up the phone but it just gets stuck on connecting. How is anyone supposed to do a firmware recovery if the phone cant be connected to?

I will try what you said and uninstall and only install the usb drivers.

And to answer your question I can't get into download mode, it just skips right to the Firmware upgrade error.

Although in the top left of the screen I see this:

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SGH-M919

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Official

CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30

Write Protection: Enable

Does that mean anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
Then do it the old fashion way, pull the battery out of the phone

and while pressing the volume down/home/power buttons put

the battery back in and see if that gets it into download mode.

(I hope your phone is a Tmobile M919 and not the international version or a variant like the M919V).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] belisknerprime:
Yes, it's is the T-Mobile version. It has the case branding and everything. I got it straight from them.

Ah, that did it! I'm now back in download mode. Thank you.

I'm downloading the stock firmware, it will take about an hour. Should I attempt to flash the OUDHS recovery again, or wait and just flash the stock JB firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: stock jb

You are downloading the STOCK JB firmware now....

After your phone is up and running reboot into download mode and you will need to Odin flash the OUDHS recovery TAR file: http://d-h.st/jTk

Once that's flashed you will need to go into OUDHS recovery and flash this superuser.zip file: http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/Superuser-1.0.1.1.zip

After flashing the superuser.zip reboot the phone.

Just to play it safe, after you reboot the phone reboot it again in recovery and flash this:http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip

This will setup your kernel to be 100% un-restricted so there will be no chance that you will loose root access.

NOTE: If you want to keep your phone STOCK then after odin flashing the JB stock firmware don't do anything else.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] belisknerprime:
Thank you for the help. One question though, Do i continue to use the PDA button on odin for the JB flash like I was instructed for the other thing or do I use the phone button?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
FWIW home button is not needed on the S4 to enter recovery or download mode. I love it :) Just hold down one of the volume buttons as its booting and voila :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:

Hey guys I've had my DNA since launch weekend. I've become interested now that I've seen there are methods for S-OFF and then now return to stock methods.

I am fully stock with the most recent OTA update. So I need help in figuring out which methods of S-OFF are easiest as I know I've seen different requirements for each one and it seems they keep changing so I can't keep up with them.

Also with the ROM's, are there any fully complete ones that work 99.9999% with the phones features. I have used CM 10 on my Incredible 2. Any thoughts as to which ROM's to start out with?

I know I could search the $hit out of this, but I read into things too much and then just get frustrated when trying to find a ROM or a method and never pick something.

**********Update**********

I moonshined my phone this weekend, so now it's time to look at each of the ROM's that you guys mentioned! Thanks again for the help in this!!

I really would appreciate any help on the matter and I thank you in advance!!
[HTC Droid DNA] maxjivi05:
NOS7 seems to be my most fav all around so far. Very complete
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
like viper Dna the best no bugs at all very smooth and you can have tweaks and customize it to your liking. Moonshine to achieve s off worked flawlessly for me and it can now be run on windows so it's very simple.

I personally think Revone method is the easiest way to get S-off .

[HTC Droid DNA] Dave51495:
I'd probably suggest PAC or carbon. I'm on PAC right now, but next time I clean flash a rom, carbon is going on my phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
I'd suggest not asking users as you will get a different answer from every single one of them. Research each ROM and make a decision based on what you want.

As for S-Off, both methods are insanely easy. Pick one and go with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] chayos00:
I understand that different people will like different ROM's, but their suggestions do help with making a starting choice in figuring out which ones to give a shot first. I just tend to over research stuff and never making a choice as I can't decide which to pick. Sometimes it's easier to just start off with suggestions from others who have already done what I was trying to do.

Again thanks everyone for your inputs and suggestions! I'm going to research the methods for getting S-Off and pick one. I will most likely get this done this weekend.
[HTC Droid DNA] Kingdomkey01:
If you are a fan of Sense 5 and okay with using android 4.1, then go for newt's NOS7 rom, it's essentially bug-free and super smooth.

If you're an AOSP kind of guy, I would highly suggest flyhalf's CM10.1 build paired with crpalmer's aosp kernel. Keep in mind that it is a WIP, so there is plenty of room for optimization, and some features (such as bluetooth audio) may not be working.. it is android 4.2.2, so you do have some features over 4.1, but it's whatever you prefer. There are more updates on CM based roms for the DNA because it is still generally new, and the developers are active on their respective roms.
[HTC Droid DNA] mracrawford:
I definitely would go with a Sense 5 Rom. I had nothing with problems with CyanogenMod on this phone. I take a lot of the talk of good things about it on this phone as circle jerking. I really had quite a few problems, even on the later versions that came out earlier this month.

Switched to NOS M7 and have had no problems what-so-ever.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
As offensive as your post can be to developers, I do agree that a sense 5 ROM is most likely what the OP will enjoy using the most, and personally I also enjoyed NOS M7 quite a bit.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] mracrawford:
I wasnt trying to be offensive by any means. I understand the work that goes in to these roms and I appreciate it immensely. BUT I wanted to give this guy my most honest opinion from my experience. I don't want him to end up Rom swapping like mad if he doesn't have to, I've had zero problems with NOS M7. On Cyanogen I had force quits, bluetooth cutting in and out, wireless tether dropping constantly, now I have none of that.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
No, you don't or you wouldn't call it circle jerking. Given the OPs requirements a sense 5 ROM, NOS M7 in particular would seem to best fit his requirements, which also seems to fit yours, no reason to talk like that about our work OR the users that support and enjoy it enough to recommend another user give it a try, even though they really don't meet the OPs stated needs in a ROM. Everyone has their opinion, especially on XDA, there's no reason to be insulting because you disagree with their ROM choice.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] mracrawford:
Bad terminology, you're correct. It's been a looooooong day, and lots of work, lots of redditting, saw the term and used it. I should have re-read my post before I said I wasn't trying be insulting because that totally was. I'm sorry.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Carbon is my daily driver and I've had zero problems. Granted I don't use blue tooth or tether, but I haven't had a single force close. I had some connection issues, but due to a bad flash.
[HTC Droid DNA] _phoey:
I personally used the Moonshine method. It was very simple. I already use a Linux distribution so my PCs OS wasn't an issue. Just run the exploit and, for me at least, everything went very smoothly. I tried out CM10.1, Revolt, Carbon, Rootbox (one of the earlier more buggy builds), and Hatka Supreme. I'm currently running CarbonROM (the 6/11 build) with stock kernel and am loving it! I've considered trying the latest build of Rootbox, but not sure if I want to go through the setup process again. Its all a matter at personal opinion, just my $0.02 USD!

[HTC Droid DNA] pitchinnate:
+1 for NOS M7 haven't had a single issue with it. Only issues I have had are with mods or themes for it. Can't speak for an AOSP ROM as I haven't tried one yet. Also FYI I would recommend using crpalmer's kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] natypes:
I'm in the same boat OP. I tried Viper's rom and it was too much of a change for me. I wasn't ready to ditch the stock (or a stock-like) interface yet. Been researching roms, but it's tough like mentioned earlier, b/c it's very subjective.

I just want everything to work, debloat, hotspot capabilities and some customization options. I like the stock look and I haven't had the phone long enough to tire of it just yet.

I've had a rooted phone before and I do get bored with things after a while, so I know I'll run through roms over the next time period before I buy a new phone. I want to get my mileage out of each one.

I tried to download Hatka (sp?) earlier today, but I guess it's unavailable atm.
