[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caesu:
probably my first post i think hahaha but since i could be of help then i logged in to reply.

im on rogers and bought a locked bell xperia z, paid $35 for my unlock code which took 3-4days

it works but the signal drops once in a while and reconnects, i dont think its the hardware since i searched it up and seems like c6602/3 people have the same issue after getting it unlocked so i assume its software problem. i havent had the time to flash a different firmware to see if it fixes the issue.

another is although LTE is enabled i only see H.. unless the h means lte.. which i doubt? because all my previous phones said lte. other than that im enjoying my phone. you might find the signal dropping an issue, gets annoying sometimes but im hoping a software update will fix the issue.

hope my post helps =)

edit: so its 4am and im up from the bar, i decided to mess around with the Z a bit before i sleep ( i just started using the phone 3 days ago) i realized i made a fail mistake. i used the rogers internet.com apn settings. it works still but i decided to try the lte apn settings, H+ next to the signal bars still so i typed in *#*#4636#*#* and messed with the "preferred network settings" changed to LTE only and LTE appears next to the bars (sweet!) after it appeared i changed it back to the original setting "LTE/GSM/~" and LTE is still there. so far my signal hasnt dropped yet, its only been 30minutes but ill give an update tomorrow! sorry for the long/run on sentences. its probably the alcohol lol

Anyone else experience any bugs? like a strange framing of objects on the lock screen from waking?

This is also a roll back from c6616 to c6603.

Also, the Dual Shock 3 controller integration doesn't work (controller flashes after what seemingly was a successful pairing via cable) :(

Only bonus it looks like the roll back gets is the 4.2.2 vs 4.1.3 and obviously root.

Is this a new firmware from Bell? What happens if I do an OTA update on a flashtool flashed rom that has been rooted?

Hi everyone, I read the entire thread but I still have some questions. I bought an unlocked C6616 and works perfectly with Rogers LTE. However, in order to upgrade to 4.2.2 I need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom stock rom? Do I need root for this?

For any other Bell users who are new to Xperia devices and unsure of flashing, I successfully flashed this 4.2.2 stock firmware using Flashtool (left FOTA, BASEBAND, and UNKNOWN unchecked). I had to add the Bell APN settings, but everything works!

Additionally, I rooted using this guide, but when I got to step 11, I reflashed the kernel from the first firmware image I linked instead.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Thibor69:
I flash a lot of roms on my phone. Recently I noticed that there was a lot of left over programs and apps on my internal memory. I have nothing on the phone I want to keep that is not already backed up via TitaniumBackup.

What I would like to do, is wipe everything that I can without messing up partitions or Mount points or the needed stuff in ./data/media so I can flash a new room on a totally clean phone (except for the nessasary files needed like the data/media stuff and recovery stuff ect..)

Normally when I flash I do this: (in TWRP)

1. Nandroid backup

2. Wipe/factory restore

3. Wipe data and system again

4. Flash new ROM

5. Wipe devlik/cache

6. Reboot

When I finally get to the desktop I start up root explorer and look around my internal memory. This is were I still see a lot of old apps still sitting there. I want them gone. I'm afraid to wipe/format internal memory while in TWRP because I will lose everything right ? Even the stuff that is needed to boot the phone to recovery.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Go in twrp and click wipe, advanced, and click everything. after wiping Mount the phone to PC via twrp and move the rom and kernel to sd card. Unmount then do the steps you usually do to install a ROM, including wipe.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If you have your TiBu backups, nandroids, and ROM zips, pictures, videos, etc already on your SD card; there is no harm in formatting your internal memory. You won't lose recovery, you won't have a problem with booting, nothing of that sort.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
When I was running SynergyRom on my S3, wiping Internal memory was usually Always suggested because of the reasons you mentioned.

Move your Nandroid and files you want to flash to your extSdCard card for obvious reasons.

I have TWRP 2.5.0.2 as my Recovery, which has been running without issues for months.

Enter Recovery:

Press -

Wipe

Format Data

As a safety valve, you'll be asked to Type in Yes to continue this Internal wipe.

You'll retain the partitions you mentioned.

I think the above will get you to where you want to be.

You can always double check afterward as you've already done before.

Hello!

Few days ago my friend gave me used I5800 for my daughter, so I was exploring this forum to find more about custom ROMs etc. I succesfully instaled several ROMs to find one which will be suitable for her. In meantime I flashed kernel G3Mode v.2.5 with CWM 5.0.28. I did few backups but after restoring I discovered that CWM only did backup for system partition but without internal partition ??? I am using same version od CWM for my LG Optimus 2x and when I do backup it saves both system and data partition? Can someone help me with this issue? Now, after restore I must install TB again and do restore apps from TB?

Thank you in advance!

Normally it should do backup of everything. If you have backup via TB you can install it again and restore removed Apps.

Can check what apps are in the removed apps by clicking (not extracting) the NeatRom zip file, and then go to the folder preload. (if there's is another folder inside preload folder - click it) And there you will see the names of the 'Removed apps'.

I also checked the removed apps and saw that there were some apps i wanted to have and other not, so i just deleted those apps i didn't want, and everything worked good :)

About FULL and LITE versions. I can't tell you much other than what's written in the 'Features' part of NeatROM thread. But i know enough to tell you that

Neatrom Lite + removed apps ≠ Neatrom full

I wonder if you'd want the USB Wall Charger 2.1A - Black. I can't tell from the description if the one you linked is only going to deliver .5A to the phone.

So if you only plug a cable into one side is it going to send the full 1A through that cable or is it only going to send .5A which would be a slower charge. The SG3 is listed in the description for the 2.1A charger.

Monoprice cables are great. I use them with my chargers. I don't have the premium ones though. I bought this one: 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable

hi,

my USB port on my phone is broken and I need to go back to stock ROM for warrenty. Currently I use the Paranoid ROM 4.2.2 JDQ39 (3.67) and TWPR recovery. I read a lot of posts but I didn´t find a complete guide. So I want to ask if I can do it this way?

1. Close Bootloader with "BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices" app from the playstore

2. Download Factory Image 4.2.2 from the google developers page

Extract everything. I need the files: System.IMG, Boot.IMG, Userdata.IMG, Recovery.IMG ? Or do I need other files?

3. Install Mobile Odin Pro on my phone

4. Load the IMG files in Mobile Odin Pro and start

Is this right? What is with the radio? I have XXLJ1 on my phone. I think it is the latest. Isn´t it?

It would be nice if someone can help me.

thanks

You'll have to close the bootloader last otherwise you won't be able to flash the imgs.

I don't know if you'll can, you'll have to keep root when you reset it because you'll have to lock the bootloader last, then you could factory reset.

Not sure though.
