Another confirmation of a German 6503 owner, works like a charm!
[Sony Xperia ZL] paullu:
do i need to unlocked bl first?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DarkGonz:
No, you don't need to unlocked first
[Sony Xperia ZL] Darkfunnyguy:
The other method just flash full .423 firmware then used v18 rootkit to root the device then install .244over the air (OTA) which I tested and worked.

Will this work with...

Hi to all!!

Thanks for making this tutorial! Just have a quick question before a root my friend's devise. I'm wondering if this method will work with my device:

Sony Xperia ZL

Model # C6506 (phone model)

Version # 10.1.A.1.395 (stock firmware)

SP: Videotron

If you need more info, let me know and I'll provide them asap!

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
No, for stock firmware you can just use this (easier) method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327472

Then just over-the-air update to get latest firmware
[Sony Xperia ZL] tagme:
Thank you very much!
[Sony Xperia ZL] nosebleedXD:
nvm fixed it
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
What happened?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nosebleedXD:
iunno the phone wouldnt boot, the notification light blinked red everytime i turned it on

i let my phone charge for the night and then it turned on again
[Sony Xperia ZL] jvs60:
It's not working for me. I flashed the .423 kernel, but I think the problem is with the tool it's not working properly
[Sony Xperia ZL] looo7:
I'm stuck at 2:

I get this error trying flashing the old kernel in Flashtool:

Any help?
[Sony Xperia ZL] jvs60:
That's what i was getting until I stopped running the tool as administrator. When I just double clicked it and ran it it worked fine.
[Sony Xperia ZL] timgreen123:
it is working on it please be patient.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] looo7:
Thanks for your help.

I get same error with / without administrator rights :(

EDIT: Got it now, forgot to install the flashtool drivers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mambobuzzz:
Hi,

I'm looking forward to root my ZL. How can I be sure that this kernel is exactly the same as mine ?

Will it void my waranty to flash this ?

Thx
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
According to this topic, all kernels are the same for .244 fw ZL's.

I guess you can check by looking at the kernel, mine's 3.4.0 jul 2 7:57.

No it won't void your warrenty.

What ZL do you have?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ihsan123:
yeah,it's all the same,i can confirm it,i just flash the old kernel,run root exploit (after finish u need to reboot manually),then flash the new kernel (need to re-enable usb debugging),then u good to go :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mambobuzzz:
Thanks for your answer. I've got "3.4.0-g3865184 - Tue Jul 2 07:57:34 2013". ZL is C6503 from Germany.

Otherwise, is there a way to downgrade to previous FW to root it and upgrade again via OTA ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Yes same as me.

You could flash .423, root it and OTA update... however the method from this topic is way easier/faster.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mambobuzzz:
Ok, I guess that if I flash back the .244 Kernel using my own FTF (using that method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075736&nocache=1) file that came from the SUS flash it will work too right ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mambobuzzz:
Did it ! :) So far everything's ok. I'm root ! :)

Question about rooting

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a ZL C6506 and am having trouble finding the information I am looking for. I currently have an HTC Amaze 4G and in order to root it I had to unlock the bootloader. I've read posts and articles about how unlocking the bootloader on Sony phones breaks DRM and other things, but I did see a thread on here about backing up the partition (I forget the name) so that you can relock your bootloader and restore it. However, I see here it seems you can root the ZL at least without unlocking the bootloader. Will I still be able to install custom ROMs and kernels, etc. with a locked bootloader? And what advantage does unlocking the bootloader give me?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] Chris_Castro:
Rooting and BL Unlocking

You should be able to root and install custom recovery without unlocking bootloader. You should be able to install "custom" ROMs IF they use stock kernel. You'll get notifications and will be able to update your phone via PC Companion, but you'll have to re=root.

Unlocking bootloader means you'll be able to root your device no matter what. And install custom ROMs that are created along with a specific kernel (AOSP, CM). But you will have to wait for FTF files to be created so you can update via Flashtool. DRM keys are lost forever (if you did not create a backup in the first place)

And yes, you may backup your TA partition to regain your DRM keys (Bravia Engine), but then you WILL HAVE to be on STOCK KERNEL to do restore them, otherwise you will have a brick. And your bootloader will be locked again. I would not mess with TA partition though.
[Sony Xperia ZL] BillyD325:
I'm starting to wonder if it's worth all the trouble. As much as I like the phone it seems like Sony just doesn't want people doing anything to modify it. I really don't want a me-too next-big-thing Samsung phone, as they just seem cheaply made, which is why I chose the Amaze over the Galaxy SII when they came out. Now HTC doesn't have expandable memory which has turned me off of their newer offerings. It'll be awhile before I can replace my phone anyway. Maybe I'll just wait and see if someone introduces something that isn't so restrictive.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jimmydee62:
How I did this C6506

I'm not a developer just someone who tinkers with phones. I have the Sony XZL C6506 and am on 10.3.1.A.2.67 and wanted to root my phone but couldn't find the kernel listed for my device so was looking at flashtool and noticed that you could exclude everything but kernel. So I loaded up the stock firmware .ftf for .423 and excluded everything but kernel then flashed. Once done .423 kernel was installed I then rooted with DoomLord 18 which worked fine. At that point I booted up and setup USB debugging and then executed flashtool again did the same with 2.67 by loading full stock firmware and then excluded everything but kernel and flashed. Then I booted phone and checked still have root and phone shows as C6506. I only post this in case someone wants to make sure there phone shows as what they have. Hopefully what I have wrote can be followed if not just ask.:cowboy:

Just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
This looks awesome! Thank you! What Rom would you recommend with this?

Sent from my PACMan S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
Looks very nice. How would i remove aio if already in the ROM I'm on?

I guess I'd need to just do a backup and fresh install?

Hmmm very nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Looks sweet. :) I haven't been on AOSP in a while. I miss the look. Thanks for the theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I believe TD has a zip to remove it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] l3gacy28:
I continue to get a Status 6 error even after downloading from both links and clean ROM install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Md5 matches? Which recovery did you use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
I'm running GB28 on a Virgin Mobile Epic 4G Touch. I've got AGATS recovery. Can I use this? I've been trying to figure out how to put a new theme on my phone for the past three days, and have had no luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Is the ROM deodexed? If so then yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
It is, but I get a Status 6 when I try to flash it through recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
This is just frickin awesomeness...

I miss the beauty and speed of WFTN, but not the lack of WiMax speeds.

This is just frickin awesomeness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
nicely done blues! You did a great job on this man. Kudos! :thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Thanks :) There are some things where I wish they would look different but don't have enough time.. Working a lot of OT..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I know OP says not compatible with AIO but can I flash it over it anyways? I'm not going to be editing anything so it shouldn't break it in theory right? Are you going to develop an AIO version of this in the future?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You can try flashing and see what happens.. I do plan on it. In fact I had started to work on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Flashing the AIO framework will break the theme. That's the simple answer.

Wait until an AIO version of the theme has been released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I'm going to try to flash over an existing aio theme. I'll post here once I'm done. It should work in theory as long as I don't flash aio over it.

Edit: I tried flashing it and it seems to be triggering a fail safe or something because it aborts the installation.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
That would be a bad download, check md5sum before flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Doesn't seem to be a bad md5. It matches perfectly with the devhost link.

Sent from Tapatalk on my S2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Hmm, strange... Don't know why it would abort.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
Its also giving me status 6 :confused:

Im using a deodexed rom and the md5s match up, I was using agats recovery if that helps.

I tried using EL29 to flash the theme, I even redownloaded the file and it still didn't work :(

Can you post the recovery log? It should be in cache folder.

Well it seems to be anyway by just looking at it:p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Line 10 looks like is

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/preload");

Not near a PC to check on notepad++ but I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
That's the error I was getting as well. I just chalked it up to me having AIO. Thanks a lot for the port though Blue. Really do appreciate the effort you're putting into this theme.

The style of tw has always been what's kept me at for quite some time now, but I may just have to give it a go again because this looks beautiful :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Line 10 col 8 is between the " and ext4. No idea why its failing like that. Anyone got any inputs?

Have you guys tried with Agat's newest kernel? Also has anyone tried to flash it from external sd card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
If you want I can look at the updater-script for ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Sure. NP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I found it. you were missing a " in the ui_print line with "theming in progress"

ui_print("Theming in progress...");

Trust me I have made so many errors in updater-script. If it wasn't for TD and PhAkEr, I'd be lost. lol

Here is is for ya. BTW this theme looks awesome. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I was just thinking this up. You can add trebuchet launcher and system/ringtones/notification sounds as well.

Trebuchet launcher in system/app needs 0777 perms to work or set it to install to data/app with 0644 perms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I have thought about system sounds. I have a folder ready too but then I didn't include in the zip. At one point I was also thinking about just releasing a debloated ROM which was around 350MB in size.

Edit: Added new link to OP. Only dev host for now. Also the original zip had an older SystemUI.apk which is corrected in new zip. I had uploaded wrong file originally.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
So it flashes for me now, but the pull down notification menu is still not themed, as well as the toggles in the menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Make sure you're not on a rom that has AIO flashed on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] l3gacy28:
So on a rom like touched by an sgs4 how would we get the status bar to theme?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Not sure exactly what you're asking, but the status bar is included in the theme. No you can't use 3Minit after you flash the theme. Status Bar is themed through systemui.apk in system/app... I think that covers all the bases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Maybe Blues can make up a morph zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
It should be pretty easy with the morph template. Just take the drawables from each of the themed apps and put them in the morph zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
I am receiving the same error as others. "Status 6" error. I don't see a fix on this. Does the meta-inf file help with this? Hope I can get it to work. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
It is fixed, the zip should have this name " GB27_Theme_v1.5 "
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
I'm not. Everything else themes but the quick toggles on the notification panel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Do you have the 3minit settings app? Uncheck the mod toggles icon box.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
I do not, but I can try it and see if it fixes the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Don't install it if you don't have it. It might cause more issues. I don't know what else you could check sorry. Hopefully blues knows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
What ROM are you on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...26-2013-overclocking-general-awesomeness.html

This ROM. It's a stock based ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
What phone do you have? Not all S2's are alike... This is E4GT Sprint/Boost/Virgin Mobile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
I've got the Virgin Mobile variant. Virgin Mobile just has a different name for the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
OK, just wasn't sure from the link.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
That's because Virgin and Boost released the SPH-D710 after Samsung dropped the name of Epic 4G Touch and decided to keep it simple with Galaxy S2 to keep from confusing customers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Worked thanks beautiful :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hazedabeast:
Nice u finished this thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Is there anyway I can keep this theme with having the tabbed system menu instead of scroll down system menu?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Take the SecSettings.apk from the AIO Mod.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JayDroid412:
Just so everyone knows... This mod borked my ShoStock ROM... May have been a bad DL as I didn't check sums but just warning

how can i install this?

i've got an samsung galaxy young gt-s6310 with a deodexed touchwiz rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
It is compatible with any JB TW deodexed rom. Download zipv to your phone, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash the zip, reboot, profit.

Edit: I would personally do a backup first, just in case. Always a good habit to get into
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaltra:
mmm ok,

i did wipe cache and dalvik, then flashed the zip and reboot...

then at start, it says: applying updates 1 of 175... 2 of 175... 3 of 175 etc, etc.

but touchwiz look like always, nothign change :S
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Hmmm, interesting. Well, the countdown has nothing to do with the zip, but because you cleared cache and dalvik. Try checking the md5 and making sure you have a good, working download. It should take, if you're running deodexed TW JB. Only thing I can think is maybe you got a bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaltra:
Ok. I Flashed my phone with the deodexed rom again... downloaded the "GB27_Theme_v1.5.zip" file again... make cache and dalvik wipes again...flashed the "GB27_Theme_v1.5.zip" file again. and... AGAIN (jajajajaja again again again) nothing happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
What ROM are you running? It says it's not compatible with AIO. It's really meant for stock rooted. It may be that the files are flashing to system/app while yours are in preload, you may have to push them manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaltra:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Sorry I missed that... No probably not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If Blues says in the OP that this will flash to any TW JB deodexed build, then I wonder why it won't flash? Has anyone else following this thread flashed it to anything other than the E4GT? If it won't, we may need to update the OP to reflect. Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
SHOstock is a port from another device (AT&T S2), probably why it borked it. Like I stated before I think Blues intended this theme for pure stock DeOdex

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Your mod rules, by the way. Pure eye candy. The dialer and digits are especially stunning.

The Nexus 5 cannot be ignored, yet still the Note 3 beckons (Joshbeach and Strongsteve, I thank you).

Note 3, still on the short list. (SD card + removable battery + SVLTE) - (bloatware + single band LTE + expensive + knox) =?

Nexus 5, (1/2 price + triband/Spark LTE + Carrier portability + no bloatware + direct from Google updates + no knox) - (sealed battery + no external SD card + no SVLTE) =?

[yes, this is a real dilemma from my pitiful perspective.]

I will wait another few weeks and grab.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dvncn:
Shown on the screenshot as a 4x2 widget, this widget is not only stylish but functional.

I want to share this widget skin I created for UCCW. Yes, the same skin works on other devices (2.2+), but the reason why I posted this thread on the Nexus 4 section is because I also have a Nexus 4 and was wondering if any of my fellow Nexus users would like to try out my app. (For free, of course.)

If for some reason, you cannot view screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpbprzgc7qjx7xn/Untitled2.png

Features:

~ High quality background image

~ Working battery and clock

~ Easily customizable to your liking

~ Includes the elusive 100,000 dollar bill (only seven in existence:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency)

How to setup:

~ Must have latest version of UCCW installed (free on Google Play)

~ Download apk and install

~ Press anywhere on homescreen or find widgets in app drawer

~ Select size that fits with your launcher and rows/column (I'm using Apex and 4/4)

~ Press once on the pointing finger

~ Customize hotspots within UCCW to work with your installed apps

~ Turn hotspots on

~ Enjoy!

Note: Currently, hotspots are set to open the clock app and battery information. Hotspots may not work depending on your rom or installed apps. To fix, open UCCW and turn off "Lock widgets (Hotspot mode)" then press on the widget's hotspot once back at your homescreen. This will open up the UCCW app with the widget ready to edit.

This app features the 100 and 100,000 dollar bills, but I will certainly add more upon request.
