Instructions here

Downloads here

You have to register and log in to activate the download link on the xperiablog page. Both the C6503 and the C6502 worked for me. Supposedly, the C6503 adds LTE support, but I don't know if there's a hardware difference to reflect that. I've been using this firmmware for a week now, and it's been flawless.

Also, check out Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit (for root) and XZDualRecovery (for CWM and TWRP) here on XDA, both of which work flawlessly on this firmware as tested on my device.

Check out my post on this page if you're disappointed with the stock sound volume limitation.

And don't forget the "thanks" button if you appreciate my help :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Thorc:
Thanks so much! Which country firmware did you use? I was wondering if I should go with Germany, Indonesia, or US.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dr_SUSE:
I'd go with whichever one matches where you're at. I'd have to look it up to know for sure. Both the Indonesia and the MEA (Middle East?) ones worked on mine, and I'm in China. Some locations use the same bands, others don't. I'm no expert in how that works. I might be wrong here, but I think the Settings/Xperia/Internet Settings auto-patch takes care of that for you. My 3G (or any data connection) didn't work until I took care of that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Thorc:
I'm in China as well, so I'll go with the Indonesia one too, especially since I know it worked for you. Thanks again for the help!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Thorc:
It worked! Took a while to figure out the drivers and stuff, but it flashed easily and now I have a non-bastardized, non-Chinese phone. Seems to run faster and smoother too. Great to say goodbye to the L35h and hello to the C6502!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dr_SUSE:
Good to hear. If it starts bugging out on you, let me know so I can verify it or reproduce the bug on mine.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dr_SUSE:
How's your automatic backlight working? Does it dim/brighten automatically?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Thorc:
Haven't noticed any problem like that. Or any real problems. Maybe the notification/SMS sounds are a bit wonky, but nothing that's really bothered me or is especially noticeable. Am still getting notices about how "this version of Android doesn't allow in-app payments" or something like that. I expected those to go away. But maybe it's just because I'm in China with a China Mobile SIM.
[Sony Xperia ZL] junkypong:
Hi Guys! I too brought sony xperia L35H from china....and would like to flash the MEA C6503 version. I installed the flash tool and made the FTF file ready. while just to make sure everything is alright i connected my phone and opened the flash tool. It says "device connected with USB debugging off", although i have enabled usb debugging in my phone. Do i have to install the adb as well or am i missing something. Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks

EDIT- SOLVED :)

[HTC One S] NQNH:
did you dirty flashed the latest nightly?

do a clean install (wipe all partition twice/3 times) after installing the zip wipe cache / dalvik cache and try again
[HTC One S] kearneyman:
Sorry, I'm a little new to the custom ROM scene. I don't exactly know what dirty flashing is. Here's the steps I used to update from CM10.1 July 2, to the July 9 build. I am currently S-ON. I updated to the T-Mobile OTA upgrade, so I can't get S-OFF

From TWRP, selected the "Wipe" option. It says something like factory reset

Flashed the CM10.1 build from yesterday and latest GApps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) FROM TWRP

TWRP asks me if I want to wipe cache/Dalvik. I said yes

Reboot phone into bootloader

ran the command

fastboot_Mac flash boot boot.img

ran the command

fastboot reboot

If this was not the right way to flash, I'm sorry. There's so many threads on here and I've read so much, that I thought I had everything down pretty well, but apparently not.
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
That procedure sounds about correct.

I would try redownloading the ROM/GApps and verifying the MD5s. Might just be a freak occurrence. Do the factory reset option as before, but in addition also wipe System before you flash again.

Don't worry!

It's okay!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Battery life is really dependent on how you use the phone. For me, I don't have problems hitting 1 full day of usage without recharge.

And I don't trust reviews on battery life, because it will get better after a few weeks of use (that's how it is on my previous Xperia phones). The reviewers only use the phone for a couple of days.

That said, the Note 2 comes with a 3100 mAh battery, while the Xperia Z battery is only 2330 mAh. So be prepared that it might not last longer than the Note 2.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pondy:
Thanks for the input mate. I know the N2 has a huge battery and was impressed with the battery life. But the phone is just too big for me. It lasted 4-5 months before I got fed up with the size.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] lglossman:
Hi everybody, let me present you SpyKit, and app designed for taking spy pictures in a very simple yet powerful way!

The motivation was to address the main problems in most of the existing spy cameras: lack of polisheness and counter intuitive user interfaces.

Right now this is the only spy camera that works when you screen is truly turned off!

How to use it?

The first thing you have to do is activate it through the main switch in the upper right corner. You can also put a widget in your desktop for quickly enable it.

Then there two ways you can use the app:

-> Using your device buttons. (PLAY, PAUSE, VOLUME UP/DOWN)

By default all buttons are mapped to the Single Picture Action.

-> Using the Motion Detection feature.

By default motion detection is mapped to the Continuous Shooting Action

You, of course, can change this mappings at the settings screen.

SpyKit, by default, displays a floating preview which you can drag and resize as you like. It allows you to keep using your other apps while the preview is active!.

If you don't want the preview to be shown, you can disable it at the settings screen.

Screenshots

Download it from Play Store:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolffstarr:
Picked up my SGS3 on Friday after my Bionic finally keeled over in a few fairly critical ways. This was always my planned upgrade, got lucky on a Sam's Club special for 96 cents. Phone is so new it squeaks, as is the SIM. I first noticed that calls were dropping out some in certain spots at my house and near my work. I then realized I had zero 4G signal in the house, and didn't seem to be able to get any in my yard. My Bionic was always able to pull 1-2 bars, with only occasional drops to 3G in a couple of spots in the house. 3G was giving me max bars at all times.

Grabbed a handy app - Advanced Signal Status - that gives me detailed readouts on signal strength. I installed it on my (now inactive) Bionic, and where my GS3 is getting about -95dB for voice and -107dB for EVDO data, my Bionic is getting -90dB voice and -45dB EVDO data. Even my old HTC Droid Incredible 2, with one of the worst antenna designs ever, is sitting about -95 voice and -80 data. I even tried it on my wife's LG Spectrum 2. No valid data reading for 3G/EVDO because she's got a consistent 2-3 bars of 4G everywhere in the house. Same thing with work, everyone with a Samsung product on Verizon (no SGS3s unfortunately, but a couple of Note 2s) are getting a couple of bars of 4G, and my Bionic used to do the same.

I've tried flashing back from MF1 to MB1 firmware/tz/modem AIO packages, swapped from Global to LTE/CDMA, battery reseat, SIM reseat, and I'm contemplating doing a rain dance to see if that will bring the signal up to something decent, because nothing else is working. I called Verizon, got past front-line support, started throwing numbers at Tier 2, and they escalated to the network team to rule out a "network problem in my area". Given that NOBODY ELSE is seeing this craptastic signal, I doubt it's that.

I've done a couple of searches but haven't come up with anything worth mentioning yet, either here or on the net in general. I'm still within my grace period and I may be able to bypass having to go back to the Sam's Club I bought it at if VZ wants me changing the phone out, but I want as much time as I can get to test a second one if I need it, before giving up and going with a Razr HD or something. If anyone can suggest something that I might be missing that I can try, I'd appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Take off the back of your S3, take out the battery, and tighten the screw's on the phone. This is usually the case for bad GPS and signal issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecake2000:
I am in the same boat. But mine will be 2 bars then it crashes to no service. Can't even send texts! I am lucky to have a call for 1-2 min before it drops. They sent me a new sim and as I suspected it didn't fix anything so now I get to waste more time calling them tomorrow. I will literally have signal, unlock the phone, type a message, hit send then get the "No mobiles signal found". Wtf lol

I tried tightening my screws. They weren't lose and it didn't help. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
My first s3 had signal issues like what you are experiencing. I had to go through two weeks of stupid waiting for Verizon to test the local network before they agreed it was a problem with the phone. Sent it back and got my replacement. Replacement worked fine.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunerceli:
OK, so so here is a thought. Since the stock ROM for the I9500 and the Korean SHV-E300 has all of the lib files necessary for creation of a ROM, why doesn't someone just use those to try to port a ROM over to see how it would actually work? I just came from the Exhibit 4G and that is pretty much how our device tree was created. Using other phones and our own libs. I know it would take a dedicated dev to do this or attempt it. But in the end it should be very rewarding. Tell me what you guys think.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdonanthony:
+1

any dev that can verify this ? possible or not ? any port rom would do Ex. MIUI Rom
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunerceli:
It is kind of like porting but not really. It would be using all of our already made drivers that are in .so format and then using partial or full frameworks from the custom ROM sources to build. Just look at it like taking Ubuntu 13.10 and running Gnome 3.8 on top of it as the shell. Neither one of them get along with each other but there are ways to make them coexist and work well together.
