debranding xperia z using unbranded factory SIM unlocked xperia z

I need help and would appreciate if any one can. I recently bought another xperia z c6603 as mine now has a cracked screen. The damaged one is factory SIM unlocked with no branding except for Sony's factory branding. The replacement I bought is locked to 3 network which I am in the process of SIM unlocking. I wanted to know if I can take the Rom of the unbranded damaged x.z and flash it onto the 3 x.z to remove the branding. And how . Would go about doing this. I would appreciate any help
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, flashing a generic FTF will remove the branding. Just be aware that UK generic is behind with updates, so you will be waiting for the latest version if you flash this FTF.

Follow this guide - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
[Xperia Z General] Vladimir_04:
Thank you. Ok that looks simple enough. Although the build number that I currently have on both phones branded and unbranded is 10.3.1.A.0.244 if I download the UK version in the tutorial will it update to the version I currently have. Also do I need to root Or unlock bootloader on the phone.
[Xperia Z General] Impetus37:
Thank you i needed a original ROM!
[Xperia Z General] galaxyvn:
Thank you!

It works like a charm. :laugh: The branding of my device is StoreFront so it's still stuck on 4.1.2, and now I have 4.2.2. :fingers-crossed: I also can get update from Sony after relocked bootloader :D A sincere thank you for your sharing! :good:
[Xperia Z General] hamie55:
What is the features. One the store front rom.
[Xperia Z General] pimmytizzle:
Does anyone have just the baseband they can share? Trying a new ROM and when I update it, I get 'Baseband unknown'.

Wanted to try and flash the baseband from this ROM.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Just use this FTF and exclude everything but the baseband when flashing.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
As thread goes..

I'm gonna install this hold for next song on volume so think I need to remove this. How do I remove it?:silly:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdracco:
which kernel? either way, you'll need a root file explorer. Then go to /system/etc/init.d/ and there should be a file in there with the name 'vol' in it. Open file. The contents should be:

echo 1 > /sys/keyboard/vol_wakeup
chmod 444 /sys/keyboard/vol_wakeup

Just put a hash symbol at the beginning of both lines, save and reboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
teamseven2.1.5

Okay, # symbol in beginning of both sentences, got it! I'm trying with no space between # and sentence :silly:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdracco:
just to play it safe, no spaces. but it really doesn't matter.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
I found the vol and made the changes to the file with the root explorer app

even though I saved the file with the hash symbol with and without space infront of the lines it didn't work

the file is called 89volwake

hmmm :confused:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdracco:
did you reboot? you need to reboot. if yes, then.....

.... with root explorer, change permissions to that file. you need to make it not-executable. just long hold file, and select permissions. untick the 3 boxes for 'execute'. reboot. this should work. last resort, delete the file, reboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
Yes ofcourse.

Followed your other suggestions. Changing permissions unticking all excecutables, saving, then rebooting, after reboot the files permissions for excecutable were granted..creepy :( so I deleted it.. After reboot again after this the file was gone.. But the wake with volume started working again , what the hell is going on :eek:

I double checked, the file is gone in the init.d folder!

edit: Wait, it doesn't wake if I leave phone alone for a while, but if I wake it and then let screen go out then immediately press volume buttons it wakes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdracco:
hmm. interesting. well, let's see if volume wake is still enabled. connect to device via adb and do this:

cat /sys/keyboard/vol_wakeup

the file should either not exist or running that command will return a 0 or 1. 0 disable, 1 enabled.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
is it the same command in terminalemulator i've downloaded in phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdracco:
yep yep. you can use terminal instead.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxhtc:
It's saying 0

Guess I'm all set then.. =)

Fast pressing vol buttons when playing music still wakes up phone while long pressing don't wake it up.

Strange I can't switch songs with tweakbox.. Thanks anyways for your help m8!

edit: Seems the settings were integrated in rom/kernel or something deeper since I could still activate screen with fastpress on volume buttons... Upgraded to 12.3 now so now it don't activate neither in slow or fast press on volume buttons.

Changing songs with toolbox in xposed still don't work though hmm.
[HTC Sensation] Joshiacid2013:
Hello people!!!!

This was something I discovered, I do not know if you have already tried it before but I'll share anyway in case anyone wants to know.

For those who have had problems flashing ICS firmware from fastboot, I found an easy way to do it,

in my case and I hope yours is also

what I did was to change the name of the image PG58IMG, to this PG58DIAG and wala my device is automatically selected.I dont know if the HTC devices that have S on can do this but I expect that you do not miss anything if you try.

Another thing: Do not put the. Zip it and the folder because the device is programmed to recognize it as a zip file automatically and if you put this that will make the devices will write it twice. Zip.zip.

Well I hope they serve to help and excuse my English.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
in S-ON devices there is only one way to update firmware and that can be done only with fastboot command as far as i know

and the firmware must come from the ruu.exe(extracting the zip file) or from official OTA update

where did you get the firmware image?

I downloaded the Google Edition ROM last night and somewhere it went wrong. Now when I try to reboot, the yellow triangle comes on and I can only get back to the this ROM. Here is what it says:

System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.

I want to go back to the stock 4.2.2. How do I do that, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Mine or nitro's? And what did you flash AFTER the GE rom? Was it a kernel? Where did you get it?

That message only comes up if you foul up a kernel install or recovery install.

Both are fixable by an MDK stock kernel Odin package. I'm not linking it because it's in the how to root topic. So if you are here, you should already have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
It was yours. It must be the kernel install. I'll search for MDK stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
I'm having trouble because I have a Mac, FML.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Did you use one of the included kernels? Which one?

Try flashing the lokidoki zip. You get that with an in lokied kernel

You have a verizon galaxy s4 right? On the MDK rooted firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
Yes, each time I try to reboot, the same error comes up and I can't go further.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
try pulling the battery. Put it back in. Hold volume up and power until it vibrates and then let go of power but continue holding volume up until you see the blue text in the left hand corner.

See what recovery it boots into, or if it even does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
Top left hand text in red: Secure Fail: Kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'd boot into download and just flash the mdk kernel. It'll fix it up.

I'm just curious as to what happened. Did you verify the md5 on the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
I'm not entirely sure what went wrong. It won't allow me to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
You can't into download mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
No, it won't allow me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
So I am having a similar issue. I accidentally flashed a non-loki'd recovery. Now I am trying to figure out a way to install a loki'd recovery but cant figure it out. I need an odin tar of something... I may just go back to the stock mdk build and start from scratch with root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
I just can't flash any ROM at all, I can't even do a factory reset.

Here is where I've been the last hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
You're in download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kent9272:
It's been stuck there for an hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
You have to connect to odin and flash something... You can't do anythign from the phone directly at this point, or I don't think you can at least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It's not stuck... It's waiting for you to flash an Odin package.

Pull your battery. Then try to not info recovery again. Couldn't hurt I suppose

sent from my vzw MIUIv5 gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
I'm in the same place though for a different reason. I cannot get into recovery, perhaps he can because he should still have a loki'd recovey installed. I don't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
If you flash either a boot.img or recovery.img without them being loki'd, you will not be able to boot into recovery or system. One will screw both.

The recovery is tied into the kernel, loki allows us to inject what we want in there but it still hase the main working components and such.

The fix for BOTH OF YOU is to Odin the stock kernel in(like I've said a couple times). And for you specifically you should probably odin the stock recovery too. No reason to full odin and lose everything. But starring at it isn't going to get it fixed either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Yeah, I odin'd the stock kernel and all is fine. Once booted I simply reinstalled TWRP from goo manager and all is working again.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alliat:
Hi,

I'm visiting the US and I'm thinking about buying a Razr HD but I have a couple of questions before I take the leap.

1) Does it have bloatware installed and can it be debranded?

2) They appear to be locked on Verizon, can I unlock it so that I can use it with the gsm carriers in my country? (it's actually illegal to lock phones in Iceland)

3) Is the battery as good as they say - I read somewhere that they promised full twelve hours of constant HD video recording on a single charge! (I would also like to se the micro SD card they used for that recording!)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencer88:
I believe you can. There's a thread here somewhere in the HD forums that walks you through it, although I've never actually done it.

Might as well get a Maxx HD for the awesome battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zijin_cheng:
Hi, my friend has an SGH-i727R, stock ICS 4.04 unrooted and with Fido Canada. He was upgraded to 4.04 about 6 months ago, and there were no problems with the Wifi then.

He came back from his holiday and his phone's wifi had been stuck in the "turning on" position for a long time, and nothing can fix it.

He doesn't have a data plan, and I've tried installing stuff like Advanced Wifi Lock and Wifi Fixer through his SD Card, but it still won't turn on. He's done a factory reset, but it didn't solve the problem.

Is it a hardware problem? I want to ask before I root and install a custom ROM for him.

EDIT: It was on 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I would Odin the stock jb firmware and see if it's still an issue. If it is, then it's probably hardware.

Ok, first off I want to give a big thanks to digixmax for all his help so far! His quick responses have helped me to stay somewhat calm even though I am extremely frustrated right now. I have tried several different ways to root and boot CWM and CM 10.X onto my NT the last few days and nothing seems to be working. I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098419, http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/cm10-1-android-4-2-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/, and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 all with no success. i have used different cards, usb cables, and ports. i have used mini tool partition manager, acronis, gparted on ubuntu live, and fedora core that i have dual loaded on my laptop. i have downloaded the same files from different sources making sure to keep them separated in case one image is corrupt. and i have tried the preloaded image and built my own files onto a partitioned card making sure the card was set to FAT32 primary active 0x0C LBA and that boot was flagged. if anyone else has a suggestion i am all ears. im not opposed to just rooting into the eMMC either if someone wants to point me in the direction of a link with CM7.X or newer. the last build that i did on my sdcard looked like this (attachment below )

im not sure if anyone will be able to tell me if i did something wrong, maybe by file size? if more info is needed let me know. thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
It's unclear to me what you want to do. Do you want to run CM10.x from sd card or install it internally? Or juts root? "Root" does not mea installing an alternative ROM, so it would be good to know what you're after.

If you want to run from sd Iamafanof's images should work. Personally I prefer his Android 4.1. Try it:

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ (It was not among those you said you've tried)

If it's not working, come back with more info on what you actually do and what happens (or doesn't happen).

If trying to install internally that image from Iamafanof can be used as a bootable CWM sd card and you can install CM10.x from there.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] o0oXDAo0o:
i was trying to root and rom CMsomething. at this point i dont care how it happens so long as something happens. your right i havent tried booting CM 10 and was actually looking for the version you posted. i read it was a good ver of CM to run on the NT. something that just started happening this morning when i use win32diskimager as admin a box pops up saying File error an error occured while accessing the device. This usually means that something else is accessing the device, please close all applications and try again. Error 1. Incorrect function. not sure what this is about. anyways ill try CM10 from that link and let post back later. thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Make sure any file explorer is closed. That's what usually prompts that error for me. (I insert my card adapter, and the file explorer tries to access it.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] o0oXDAo0o:
ok that helped some. its now saying write successful again. i tried the first link you gave me for iamafanof and that didnt work either, it still booted straight to stock. i guess im going to try flashing it to the internal memory. i cant believe how much trouble this is giving me, ive never had near this much trouble rooting and flashing with any phone ive ever touched. with the phones i may have been down a day or two trying to find a solution but today is going on day 4 or 5 that i have been trying to do this. time to try an alt route i guess. quick q, if i were to try and downgrade firmware from 1.4.3 do you think that that would help? has anyone tried this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Having it installed internally is so much more convenient!

But before you give up on booting from sd, have you tried turning the NT off, inserting the sd card, and then plug it in to the charger? That usually gets even troublesome devices to boot from sd.

Edit: Version of stock firmaware makes no difference at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] o0oXDAo0o:
ok thanks i was hoping it would make some kind of difference. i have tried booting the NT with the power button, with it off insert sd and then jump start it with my stock cable and other usb cables. i have tried different usb ports on my computer with the cables and still nothing. i have been reading for days and trying everything. ive looked on xda, tabletroms, as well as many other sites that have dev support for the NT and rooting. thats why its so frustrating. im done i think with trying to boot off of the sd card. just going to have to start researching doing it by internal memory. i dont really care either way if i keep the stock software i think i would just be happy with even an early version of froyo or eclair at this point lol. if anyone cares to post links on rooting and installing roms on the eMMC or has any other suggestions about booting from the sd im open for suggestions. thanks guys for your help so far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
You say you've tried different ports on the computer but I told you to connect it to the charger. And also, just to make sure, you do use a class 4 card? SanDisk seems to be the preferred brand.

And I've already posted a link to my instructions.

If you can't boot from SD card any modification will be difficult so you need to get that part sorted.

Edit: And I also take it you are absolutely sure you have a Tablet and not a Color? Model 250A. I ask because it's not uncommon people mix them up.

HTC SENSE 4 STYLE RECENT APPS SWITCHER

+ CENTER CLOCK

+ 4 TILES COLUMN MOD

BY XENON92​

For CM10.1 - i9082 (build 20130712) ONLY

More toggles in lesser space!

As chotu222 has not released a Sense 4 Style Recent Apps Switcher for the latest build, i decided to make one for the build 20130712. It is a bit different from his MOD too. This has Transparency and NO RECENT APPS Text. This also has Center Clock and 4 Tiles Column in Quick Settings.

This MOD looks better in 190 DPI than in STOCK DPI.

Installation:

1. Take a BACKUP before flashing the new MOD (always)
2. Put [B]Sense4StyleSwitcher_by_xenon92.zip[/B] on SD Card or Internal Memory
3. Flash using CWM
4. Reboot

To revert back to Stock 3 Tiles Column, Stock Recent Apps as well as Clock to the Right, use RevertToStock_by_xenon92.zip from below and follow the same procedure written above.

NOTE: Do not flash any of the zip files given below if you have flashed some MOD for CM10.1 for Galaxy Grand that changes the STOCK SystemUI.apk as well as framework-res.apk.

Before flashing any other MOD by me or switching between my MODs, Flash RevertToStock_by_xenon92.zip from their respective threads.

RevertToStock_by_xenon92.zip files are different for different MODs.

Don't forget to press Thanks! ;)
