[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kude87:
Hey everyone,

I'm a current Verizon S3 owner, and self-admitted flashaholic. To make this question short, I recently inherited a mint iPad 1 from a friend. IOS is just such a downgrade from Jelly Bean (IMO), so then I started to poke around on craigslist. A guy will trade me a mint Note 8.0 (16gb) if I add $75. I feel inclined to do it, but wanted some other opinions. Main tablet usage will be pdf annotating, journal reading, and light media usage (grad student). Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TrompKramer:
Off course you have to by the note tablet.

Wy bother asking.

Sent from my hawkish extreme note 2.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I would do it. Think what you gain

Two cameras

An S Pen

Android

Not an iPad

More powerful hardware

Just my opinion though
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kude87:
Thanks?

This is what I was looking for. Sometimes it's tough to justify spending money when I got something for free, but the added benefits you listed are worth it IMO.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] afblangley:
You have to pay them $75!

ios devices have high resale values compared to others. Unjustifiably so IMHO, but nevertheless.. Doesn't a used ipad mini have a higher market value than a used Note 8?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kude87:
Yes, I'd be paying $75. I have the first gen iPad. It has 1 Ghz, 256 mb ram, and can only run iOS 5. It really makes things a bit limited. Undoubtedly, Apple products have higher resale values, but I feel that works to my advantage in this case. I do appreciate your input, though, thank you.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] afblangley:
oops! My bad, I read "mint" as "mini". So I was thinking 1st generation ipad mini... Go for it!

Taiwan Version CDA：1274-8738_R7A
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mr_sheen:
Indonesia here, downloading 510 now. 25% :)

Will update here later

Update:

Pretty much what OP said,

Its a lot smoother, new layout on apps, the x-reality is amazing. Seriously.

One handed keyboard, new themes, further tuning on email client, movies auto previewing when we open movie gallery, speaker a bit louder (?) - might be just me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
Kool,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
And here I am, in Indonesia too, but no update from PC companion.. Is this because I moved to .475 using HK .ftf via flashtool? mr_sheen please check whether .510 is rootable using the vroot/360 root solution please... :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mr_sheen:
No idea about root mate, as i dont do it :p

Sorry cant help much there
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] papi92:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
i am betting someone smart will be providing a FTF in next few hours :) just matter of time
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kongaz2:
can you upload file .ftf. tks :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krumbs:
Nothing in India, either. Wondering if the HK ROM I switched to has anything to do with this.

A question - If I "repair" from the PC Companion, will it reinstall the India firmware or the HK one? How does the Companion decide which region's firmware to download?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Barcovn:
My first post, I am using the HK version also. However follow the Chinese forum, it can update 510.

follow this: bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6593998&extra=page%3D1

And remember change your proxy in your PC companion: 175.45.6.119 3128

Hope this help you guys

Downloading 4% now....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
I haven't rooted neither have tools for FTF.

Right now decided to enjoy the.stock rom with no changes for.sometime. Extremely happy with stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kkkok8051:
Everybody just change your device system > build pro> CDA to 1274-8738 and than reboot your device. after reboot connect to Sony PC componion and you will get the update pop up.

Important thing is your device must be rooted and locked bootloader.

Enjoy:cowboy:

PP: if feel the downlod for update too slow try to set up your proxy in the Sony Pc Componion setting (right on the top)

select manual proxy and use this 175.45.6.119 3128 (Hong Kong).

thanks for the charve (China)

This process needs the phone to be rooted... did you root ur phone?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dralex88:
Why need do this? That update not mean for us?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kkkok8051:
Yes you right!!!! why need do this??? Maybe not for you but for someone or for my friend needed:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Barcovn:
Yes. Need root and root explorer to modify the build file.

Someone posted ftf in general. You can try. Smooth and fast.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Works by modifying the build.prop!! Thanks for the heads up! :good:

Ok, sorry for this n00b question, but, flashing full ftf package does include changing the build.prop file, right? That explains people not getting update because they flashed the HK ftf... like me :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Barcovn:
Yes. Because i want to keep my app and everything so i prefer the update way.

My phone is hk version :p

Anyone success root new version yet?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krumbs:
Changed the build.prop and it is downloading now!

The only issue - those proxy settings did not work. But it does not matter - the file is downloading anyway.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fbfree:
It is said that the device can be root by 360 root, I think it worth trying.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
I used the proxy for automatic detection and entered the given address there. It works. But then I disable proxy, and it still works :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ame123:
Was the zu not having the superior auto mode from the begining?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Can someone confirm these 2 points?

1)Does root get lost after this major system update?

2)If the root is lost after update, is 14.1.B.1.510 rootable with VRoot? I tried 360, but didn't work for me. Can someone confirm this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Drakosha:
Please someone confirm if you have long (20-30 seconds) pause with black screen during boot, between "Sony" & "Xperia". I flashed 510 fw twice, both times from Sony native updaters, second time - with wipe, but the pause is still there. It seems to take random time between 5 - 30 seconds.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gunblazer:
Why doesnt my HK stock ZU get the update?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] m3dd0g:
+1

edit

After locking the phone i cant unlock i must reboot and it takes 30 seconds to boot...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doquanghuy:
yes metoo. with me may be more than 1-2 minutes. i also flashed ftf file 2 times and had same problem...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
yes yes we all got that at first boot
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Drakosha:
I measured time - it does take about 1 - 1.5 minutes to boot :( At least, 360root works flawlessly. Cleaning cache from Titanium Backup doesn't help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Was that only during the first boot, or is it every boot?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doquanghuy:
With me, every boot!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:

If change build prop and update via pc campaign .. No long Sod's ...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
ooooh really ! So by updating through Sony PC companion everything is fine, but if you unlocked bootloader and flashing through flash tool you getting long sod boot ?

Weird !

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

so you edited build pro> CDA to 1274-8738 ? correct ?

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
So if I use flashtool program to lock bootloader again, will I be able to update again hopefully?

At this moment I Exactly did that but pc companion does not find update
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
Quick Summary:

PC Companion: You have to have Lock Bootloader and and change the Build.Prop (you have to be rooted)

FlashTool: Lock or Unlock Bootloader and FTF file

In your case you have to modify the Build.Prop for PC Companion to work with the update. Check this thread for the Build.Prop instructions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newstar:
Brosenz u experience any delays?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
nope, with .510 everything is as smooth as with .475
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
No update yet from the Philippines.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
If you change the Build.Prop you can get the update. (you have to be rooted)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newstar:
Brosenz u rooted with 360 ? Share ur steps on new firmware :-p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
Not rooted yet. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
i changed the build prop, the proxy settings automatic (weird) and it has detected the update :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
I was bootloader unlocked and rooted before with .475 by using the system.img method.

1.- Today I relocked the bootloader and changed the build.prop and used Sony Bridge for Mac to upgrade to .510. Everything went fine. Then I tried to root using 360 and vroot, I was able to root .510 with 360 after 5 attempts. But the supersu was in Chinese, so I installed SuperSU from the Play store but never able to update binaries, tried multiple things but did not work.

2.- Because I do not trust that much 360 and vroot I decided to wipe everything and installed the .510 FTF from Taiwan using Flashtool for Mac.

Right now I have .510 (Taiwan) installed, bootloader is locked and waiting for a good root solution. :D:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
in regards to number 1, are you the only one having this issue or did you mess up somewhere along the way ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
I really do not know, I've been following all the forums and it seems (I might be wrong) nobody has been able to root .510 yet. Probable if we follow the same .475 process to build system.img for .510 it might work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] viettien_milo:
Not yet in Vietnam :((
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mucho79:
After having trouble with SODs which started after flashing ftf, I relocked the bootloader, changed CDA from HK to Taiwan, updated via PC Companion to .510 and then rooted with 360 One-Root succesfully. Had to use 360 3 times.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thinh3d:
waiting for it in VN too....:(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ojstagg93:
for some reason when I edit the build prop it doesn't save am rooted and have super user access.

Any Ideas?

Does anyone have this problem?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newstar:
Guys if u update with flash tool u can havve SOD (sleep of death ) issue

Better is change build prop to taiwan and update via official tool (pc companian)

And i make work superSU in new firmware ..

Root with 360 , then root again with vroot :) then install siupersu from market vroot superuser app allow to install binary , install in system , reboot , open 360 click white button it restart phone 360 super app disapear , open vroot click white button and unplug usb vroot app also disapear .. And supersu work good after it ......
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Drakosha:
To everyone having problems: switching "Optimized backlight" to ON completely removes long delay at boot. There must be something really WEIRD in Ultra's Triluminous screen - no other phone I know has so much screen-related strangeness & problems.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newstar:
Exactly ...........

That is issue !!!!!!!

Damnnnn

But why it was not in .75 ...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] congtu0511:
Why i cant update?

Why i cant update by Sony PC Companion? How do you get it?

Becase my location is Viet Nam? :confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
2 options.

Restart phone

Update via Phone Companion

(Quoting Andrewtst)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sweetrime:
SOD Issue

1. Download FTF File ( using google Drive Link ), use flashtool -> flashing -> SOD.

2. Download other link(Mega), use flashtool -> flashing -> SOD.

3. Download 'Sony Update Service' -> Repair Handset -> i'm use 30 minutes. don't SOD.

Maybe FTF file problem?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H786:
niceeeee!... rooted .475 via vroot... then changed the .build prop as mentioned and then updated it via pc companion (took 10 seconds to download and around 2/3 mins to install)... now on .510 yeaaahhh buddy :D thank you for the advice "kkkok8051"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andrewtst:
After install back all apps I want, then now I face the mention issue. Hmm.... means it happen after that (it not happen when flash).... Sony better sort it out.

Notice Bugs in 14.1.B.1.510 and solution

Cannot turn on after locked the screen - Turn off Optimised backlight at Display.

Fake hang when phone startup - Just wait for a while, it will success load after that.

Screen remain 100% brightness after fake hang - Untick Adapt to lighting conditions and move the slider.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thegtsolo:
i update .510 form this forum

but 360root not root it

it restart when 360root in 30 %
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] y7ia:
I bought the phone last night

once i switched on ... i got the update immediately

so i don't know what the update added and resolved
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fredzaha:
I updated my phone with the Taiwan TFT file posted.

I had all the issues with the update.

Then I connected the phone to pc companion and did the repair my phone thing.

Because of my proxy settings (default), I got the Hong Kong 510 version installed

After that, I went on my phone and factory reset the phone.

I used to have touch screen issues on .475

Now I have no touch screen issues or any SOD issues.

It is running perfectly. And battery life is a lot better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] luisarn:
So... X-Reality for Mobile is in but Mobile Bravia Engine 2 is out?

Or Sony just renamed the feature? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
I also successfully install superSU and get rid of the 360 and vroot apps, but I strayed a little from your path :silly: And there's something I noticed. Here's what I've done:

1. Root using 360

2. Root using vroot

3. Install superSU, restart, update binary

4. Remove superuser.apk from /system/app/ and this positively removed vroot app - then I restart

5. Push superSU into /system, restart

6. Open 360 application in windows, pressed the white button (left of the green root one), this positively removed the 360 root app (the one in the app drawer), restart

7. And then I found superSU is gone but root access still fine (titanium backup still working, no root access prompt from any apps).. Whoa! Who handles the root privileges now??? So, I reinstalled superSU from play store and pushed again into system, restart, everything looks fine.

8. Then I remembered seeing the 360 root app in the android's app manager before when I'm playing around with 360 root only.. So I checked the app manager, and found the 360 root app still in the apps list!!

9. Getting paranoid

10. F**k it, uninstall the 360 root app via stock app manager, restart

11. Once again, superSU is gone. Repeat install superSU from play store, and to double check, I used the cleanup: Reinstall option in superSU. Repeat install superSU, push to /system, restart. And all looks well.

Anyway, satisfied with the current situation. But regarding point 7 and 8, what happened to my phone? :silly: During all that the su binary (CMIIW, is it the /system/xbin/su?) exists, but I forgot to check if its modified at some point.

X-Reality is an upgrade from BE2. Enhanced sharpness beautifully besides making color more vibrant (to my eyes, BE does enhance color but subtler and no sharpness enhancement I can recognize)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newstar:
Is there a way to check Xe engine is confirm working after multiple attempts to root with 360 and vroot??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Use album apps (because BE is only lost in Album apps after unlocking bootloader, so I assume XR works the same way) to see a somewhat low-resolution picture. XR really enhance sharpness, so it will be more noticable in low-resolution pictures.. In my eyes, it is almost like XR is de-anti-aliasing the pictures to get sharper images.

As far as my eyes can tell me, I am confident that XR is still there.. hopefully :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
I had observed this too. The WiFi and Auto Sync switch turned on while I wasn't even touching the screen but my thumb was above.it. happened few times now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
so how do you enable/activate the one handed text-input and have the ability to move the keyboard left or right of the screen.. i seem to be having trouble performing this function. I can make the keyboard smaller by pressing the lower right blank button but it doesn't move left/right- just stay on right

hey [MENTION=5215865]unk_damnation[/MENTION]

in what form is this 360 root app that is inside your android app manager?

I am correct in assuming that this is a different entity to the chinese version superuser?

Fortunately or unfortunately (dunno which to think) I failed with 360 root, so I tried and succeeded with Vroot. Would there be a Vroot equivalent of this app/program that sits in your apps list? You know the filename if there is one, because I cannot see it.

And with regard to this chinese superuser that got installed after successful root, since I do not know how to completely remove it, I just disabled it and left there. Installed and using superuser in its place.

IF you could let us know of what potential security breeches this (360 and vroot) could create, and of what kind of natured evil you are paranoid about... I have very little knowledge in this
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aaronqui:
Oh OK good to know that its not just my unit. To be honest I could care less about pencil input etc. I just want the screen to be normal sensitive. Didn't have this problem with my s4.

But I still love this phone a lot more.

Hanging issues after update

I did the update and it boots then after a few hangs on a black screen and I have to manually reboot the phone with hard reset. I did toggle off the backlight optimization but still does it. Any ideas ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Safar_Ibrahim:
I think everyone having same issue with firmware 14.1.B.1.510, with or without root are still the same
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] johnnobts:
can you check after finally getting su working if foldermount will actually work on your phone? it resets for me using the chinese root method.
