I've ordered through Very and they say expected delivery is 1 October 2013, seems quite late. Anyone else order from Very?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
I got mine from clove in the end but I have ordered from Very in the past. It will no doubt arrive earlier mate, they just give long lead times to cover their arse from us impatient buggers phoning them lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Tejstar:
Thanks mate, only went for them as it's a reasonable saving £80 over Clove. Will wait a week and see what happens. Not sure I can wait until the end of the month! :eek:

Mine got despatched from clove today for delivery tommorow.

Received my C6833 in White this afternoon right on time @12pm sharp.... had to go back to work and couldn't wait to get back home...have been setting it up ever since...AMAZING device, and not too big for me at all....perfect size with a razor sharp screen!!!! VERYY HAPPY :) :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marcgear:
Ordering mine when I get Home today just a quick one does the UK version come with screen protectors in the box like the z or shall I order them too. Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
No screen protector inside...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marcgear:
Cheers I'll get some on order
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] karnka:
Saw one in Phones4U and it is far more pocketable than I expected. Probably would have bought one then and there if the deal had been the same as the car phone warehouse but they wanted £50 more.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
In cases like that its always worth asking if they will price match. Doesn't always work but nothing lost by asking :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] karnka:
Yeah, only thought of that after I left the shop :)

Now have to decide whether it should be £550 for the phone or £620 including the smart watch.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
Its worth that little more to get the smartwatch from what i have seen the watch is really nice and great battery life seen it selling for £159 on ebay and amazon so well worth it i got the watch and the wireless headset and phone £618 all in clove.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marcgear:
Hey guys has anybody been able to pick a handset up from any in store retailer yet such as Carphone or Phones 4 U. I went to a few over the weekend to take a look at the device in the flesh even tho i have already ordered it from Very. When at the stores no stock or demo units were available and both said it not released yet and Carphone said it wont be out untill closer to Christmas. Very confused.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
Has anyone got a stock UK C6833 Xperia Z Ultra, I have a branded one and need the build.prop from a stock non branded one. If anyone can help and provide this, that would be great.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
Here you go C6833 uk simfree build.prop
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
Thanks mate, I have just used it to debrand my O2UK firmware. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
is this for Sony Xperia Z Ultra o2 handsets?

i wanna make my handset carrier unlocked
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
You can debrand using this and with a guide i will put up tomorrow, using the stock uk carrier and product code. It will not sim unlock your phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
i look forward to see your guide nintendolinky :)

my phone came with so much bloatware and am dying to get international sim free using this build.rar but i am clueless to how to use the file :S lol

my phone was also o2 uk so guess i am in the boat you were in lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
Hi mate, you need to root your phone, using any method currently available, I recommend VRoot. Once that is done you need to change some stuff in the build.prop file using an app such as root explorer, there are other free file managers so choose one that is best for you. I will let you know what to do once you get back to me on all that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
thanks for the advice, i ended up try using flashtool and used the image C6833_14.1.B.510 LTE_Generic.ftf and it worked!

I know have unbranded :)

i did try the vroot but it never work :(

kept getting stuck at the super su not updating binaries and no matter how many attempts i still cant get my ZU rooted :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
I was going to do the same, but i was worried it wasnt a pure firmware and, by using sony pc companion i knew it would be a proper firmware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] daven:
Picked one up from O2 yesterday, gotta say I love it, this thing is lightning. Bonus they (sim) unlocked it for me already. Anyone else buy from O2 and surprised to see no headphones included in the box, especially for such and expensive device?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
i got off the phone with o2 and they are sending me a new ZU as they said there should of been a screen protector and earbuds in the box, so i recommend phoning o2 to complain!

either they will attempt to send they accessories out on there own or send you a whole new phone and collect old handset on pickup..well atleast thats whats happening with me tomorrow :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
IMHO, they don't know what they're talking about.

My device didn't come with earbuds, neither did the other thousands the already shipped.

If you check some unboxing online you'll see that none of them have anything besides the AC power adaptor, an USB cable, and a bunch of leaflets.

Mine came with a pair just because they were part of the deal with the SBH20 bluetooth headset... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
I bought from Negri and had earbuds in mine, but no other extras.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AndyGarton:
Have any UK buyers received the 526 or 532 updates please? I'm using the Sony Bridge software on a Mac and am never quite sure if it works as well as the PC equivalent.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
same with me, i didnt get the headset or screen protector, but heard there is one already on the device. I have a new one coming today as my screen is a bit wonky, as in when i scroll it selects things for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sman55:
I've tried the pc and Mac software and no UK updates so far.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AndyGarton:
Thanks for confirming.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marcgear:
Have you guy who got yours from o2 online or in store
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
I got mine from clove the ones getting from o2 what are you getting free with tbe pbone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] daven:
I find that really surprising given how much the phone is worth and how big it is, very bad of Sony. Btw did you buy online or in store? To get the bluetooth headset I mean, I bought in store as kind of a spur of the moment thing so not sure if I'm entitled to it but I might try and wangle something

My PC companion app just updated but still no FW update. I thought for a minute that we'd get it after the companion app updated :(

I also bought my one from Clove still waiting on the watch. Did you get the dock with it? Any good?

I have issues with mine with the screen not coming on intermittently. Is yours OK?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jongilluley:
Got mine from O2 online and it had no earbuds in box but did come with the sbh20 ones as part of the deal.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Tejstar:
Well it took a while, but I've just received delivery from Very. This includes the SmartWatch 2 - I guess Very was waiting for the SW2 to be in stock before shipping the whole package! Can't complain as got all this for £543. On top of that, cashback of £50 has already been paid, making the total price less than £500! :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marcgear:
Same here and all i can say so far is wow love this handset just hunting for cool sw2 apps now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nuwidol:
For those of us who ordered from Clove their website now says this about the Smartwatch 2

PLEASE NOTE

Now In Stock

PLEASE NOTE

Shipping from Monday 30th September

For those of you who have the watch can you see yourself using it on a daily basis? Also, can you use it in conjunction with the SBH20 having them both connected at once?

Hope you enjoy your new toys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonalvaro:
Hi,

last week, I upgraded a gifted i9000 for testing and fun purposes to CM10 from GB, and for that, I lose my IMEI (I have now the generic 0049990106400). I tried some methods to restore, but no one works.

The first of all I tried was back to GB. it didn't work. still 0049...

Then I tried to flash another GB using a pit file. it didn't work. still 0049...

Then I tried to flash a FROYO (JPU). it didn't work. still 0049...

Then I tried to wipe data / cache. it didn't work. still 0049...[/I

I didn't make a backup, but in my internal memory appeared a backup folder with an efs folder and nv_data file... I tried to restore using root explorer in a froyo version, checking the owner an permissions but it didn't work.

Trying coping only the nv_data, log and md5, but guess what?, didn't work.

Erase entire efs folder,

flash another FROYO checking "clear EFS" with odin... still 0049...

I back to GB but nothing happends...

Then I flash CM9 and CM10.2 but still the same. Can't restore the IMEI.

I checked the nv_data of the backup with an hex editor, and is filled (not 0's).

So... what can I do? I think I've readed every possible solution...

Any help is appreciate.

Thanks .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
Flash the stock firmware ics or jb via odin.

It will be back
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonalvaro:
It's a i9000, the lastest stock it's 2.3.6 JW6, already tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
check that can u repair via kies...

so gb Was the base rom when u bought the ph. Right ! ! !

dont flash the gb again reset the ph. and try and flash the stock jb rom..

and then check the imei..

I'll post the links to restore asap.. but till then do this , as it tends to solve the issue..

And also check through file manager that is efs folder there.. it's in the phone ( root of phone )..and copy it to sdcard

open it and see that the imei is different or the same 1 as u said

do you have any backup..

and post here
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonalvaro:
Sorry, I think I haven't explain right.

Remember that the Galaxy S, the lastest stock rom by Samsung is a 2.3.6 JW6. The jb only exits thanks to CM10. I think the phone was on 2.2 when I bought it... But I've already try to flash a 2.2 but didn't worked. Should I flash the branded version?

I've copied the nv_data and open with an hex editor... But I cant understand anything. Lots of 00's and FF's and sometimes another string.

I have a backup that CM automatic did. But didn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
Yes flash the branded version..

And Did u tried flashing gingerbread.

And also in the nv_data look for ur device model as near that would be the imei check it that its ur original or the one u said.. Open it as text not hex fr now.

If its original just paste the backed up efs files in ur ph.'s efs folder.

And post
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
LOL you are in wrong topic.

There are no stock JB roms for the i9000, not even "I scream sand witch" for the i9000 was ever released.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonalvaro:
I can't understand anything from the file... It's corrupted or something? See the screenshot in the attachements.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
Just copy the files to the efs folder

And then reboot and check
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonalvaro:
already tried like hundreds of times... cheking that the permissions are ok and the owner... Nothing works...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
when nothing works

Final Solution:- solve efs problems

When NOTHING works and its going to drive you nuts, just walk down to your nearest Phone repair shop, find out how much they will charge for using their Riffbox to edit/fix the IMEI, and it can be resolved in a few minutes .

on the otherhand, when phone functions without any network issues, having 0049 IMEI is not a problem that needs serious attention, as it is only your Identity and most people don't want an identity that can be used to track their movements

The problem is that I cannot do emergency calls with that imei... thats why I want to change it... I'm worried about if a day I need to make that call... I can not do it...

I've read your topic lots of times... but nothing works... I suppose I must surrender and get the phone to the shop... I was asking if there was some news methods or something...

The only one I can't understand was: "Replacing keystr file ( If missing) in efs > imei folder " I checked another two i9000 that has their IMEI, but they didn't has the file...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
yup, Samsung had them in their earlier versions, but as people found ways to edit and alter the NV Data files, they also made it impossible to edit, most people had resolved this issue by using their efs backup files when they jump from Gingerbread to Jbean immediately after losing their network connection, but some have tried everything possible and NEVER resolved until its done with the box

ok, lets give it one more try cause many do not understand the procedure needed to be done when copy paste is involved.

when using root explorer, you need to save after copy paste (means over write existing efs folder with backed up folder) and use exit in menu of root explorer before rebooting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
Fist check and repair via kies..and post that are u able to do so or not

check and find the world version of gb and flash it via odin only v3..

It will brand up and restore the imei..

Or can you tell me what's in the efs folder not the backed up on..just the original one..

And post the file nv_data pls

Also try to flash the eclair firmware..

i'll try and find the best fix asap

I got a realy stupid problem on the lg l9 P760. It's my girlfriends phone and she droped it once and now the lcd screen won't turn on, but the phone itself turns on. Trying to repair it i bought a new screen for 50€ and replaced the old one and it still doesn't work. What coould be the problem? Did i throw 50€ out of the window? I hope you guys can help me out, thx.

Edit: Any way of accessing the phone to delete content? Or is there a way to install a new firmware on it via pc without using the screen on the phone?

I think you should send it to LG service center. They can check and identify the problem. I think it's hardware problem.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DNA89:
The problem is will they do it? I already opened the phone and replaced the lcd screen wouldn't that void the warranty?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
I think so. But hardware problem is hard to solve in this forum and it's good to try LG service center even you already void the warranty. You may have to pay for their service.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DNA89:
Yeah but if they do it they are gonna bill me like 100€ and considering i already paid 50€ for a new screen that's 150€ repair costs for a 250€ phone not counting any shipping costs. I just emailed them and told them what happened.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DNA89:
I sent the 50€ lcd back and got a refund, bought another one from a different seller. This lcd screen doesn't work either. Only the led lights turn on, the lcd stays dark :(

Everything else works! The phones turns on, vibrates plays the starting sound and reacts to touch input. What the hell could it be? Is it again a bad lcd screen or maybe it's not event the lcds fault?! I am realy out of ideas and need help.

Edit: A repair website in my country that i wrote a email to said there's a chip on the mainboard that is responsible for the backlight on the screen. That chip must be dead or something, because no screen worked.
