unroot ultra Z

Hi All,

i'm newbie here. recently I bought Ultra Z from someone and when I send to service it is actually rooted by the previous owner.

I tried to follow the instruction on many website as following:

1. download generic FTF room

2. use flash tool to flash the generic room and it will become unrooted

I did that but when I use PC companion it still tell me that my device is modified.

Do I need to do any other step? Thank you beforehand
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You will still have to lock the bootloader, use flashtool and it's padlock icon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] k1llu4:
Thank u for your great help! I will try.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I searched whole thread but can find answer. It can bes stupid question, but Im just lost and need someone to make me be sure.

I will get my ZU c6833 tomorrow (probably). I would like to use carbon rom. I understand how to make ta backup, unlock bootloader, but Im lost here - what should i flash first and how.

As my signature says I own XPlay na Asus Transformer. When I want to change kernel in my play I need to use fastboot. In asus recovery isnt part of kernel so i can use it to flash kernel what is easier.

How it is with ZU? Can I flash advanced stock kernel and than use its twrp or cwm to flash ie: doomkernel or carbon-rom with its kernel? Is it similar like in ASUS? Or maybe everytime I want change kernel I need to use fastboot? Or maybe there is "one" recovery too which let me install roms and kernels - however as i read every kernel has its own recovery/ries - and thats what made me lost.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It'll be easier to understand it once you have your Ultra. If you want to flash recovery/TWRP on your Ultra, all you need to do is to boot into Fastboot and flash a kernel with Recovery and TWRP. It's the kernel that has the recoveries.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
So its the same as with XPlay.

I thought that maybe u need to flash kernel using recovery like in ASUS/Samsung (maybe other) devices.

newbie_sony device_z ultra

hi All, good day. Sorry just a noob. Ive tried to read the whole thread and cant find an answer to the follwing questions. Hope you can help me.

1. Is there a posibillity of losing an network signal when flasing a custom Rom?

2. when i root my device, is there a posibility that the X-reality engine will not work properly?

3. ive read that the device can be rooted even if the bootloader is locked. If i decided to unroot it again, can we do that?

4. is there a flash counter in xperia devices just like in samsung where in you can see if the waranty has been breached already or not?

5. if device is rooted, can we still install new updates from Sony thru OTA?

thanks,

Have a great day!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
1: Shouldn't be, but you may (temporarily) lose it when you downgrade for root - read the downgrade guide

2: No, but if you unlock the bootloader you may. 4.4.2 seems to have fixed that issue

3: Yes, Yes - just flash a FTF

4: No, but being unlocked or missing TA may effect warranty

5: No, most OTAs will fail if rooted or unlocked bootloader. but within a day of a new release we will have an img that we can flash (FTF)

Hope that answers your questions
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
Thank you so much Sir. but i got two more questions.

1. Is there a specific FTF file per region? im an Asian. and when i search for latest firmware. i only got C6833_14.3.A.0.757_CE.rar

2. Ive noticed that NFC Service always turned on even if i turned it OFF. When i check battery stats, its the second app that eats most of my battery. its next to screen. Do you have same issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
For the ftf any will do, but there should be a hk one around.

NFC should use nex to nothing

Sent from CarbonROM on my Z-Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
My Nfc service eats a lot of battery

Can anyone help.me solve the issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
First of all, don't trust the built-in battery monitor, second; install BBS (BetterBatteryStats). You can either get it on the Play Store or here on XDA (search for it). Third, NFC has (according to your battery monitor) run for 6 seconds, and used 9% of the battery. Bull****.

Install BBS and check it there instead.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
If I flash other ftf file from other region, will it change my baseband? If yes, will the change it baseband affects my network connection? Sorry I'm used to Samsung that baseband has large effect on Internet connection.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' (even tho your flashes appear to be successful) thread, try the stuff in that thread. I think it's going to be a case of persevering; I.E keep flashing until you get the phone to boot. There's also a chance the NAND is stuffed; this is sometimes the case in these situations where flashes appear to be successful but you still can't get the phone to boot normally. In that case it would be a JTAG (maybe; could be a big maybe) or a motherboard replacement.

Tried doing a factory reset in recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakkalro:
I don't have recovery menu....try to read my original post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
My bad..

Try either:

1. Flashing a custom kernel like Siyah or Philz via Odin, and see if you can enter recovery.

2. Flashing the JB leak (XXLSJ) firmware via Odin, and then try entering recovery. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakkalro:
Not good.

I flashed different kernels siyah philz etc and different firmwares complete .

All were flashed with success (i mean with no errors) but the phone still hangs at GT-I9100 logo with no recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Yeah ok, but did you flash the JB leak, XXLSJ like neo said? That's a 3 part stock firmware. It'll wipe your device as you flash it with Odin. As it will wipe and flash, you've got a good chance of it booting. Google Search 'JB leak i9100 Samfirmware' & it'll be one of the first links. Either that or you can access a link to it from my signature link.

Well, my HTC screen is Crack, and its gonna be awhile till i get a new replacement. But i would like to access the settings to enable the 'Internet Sharing' as i could use it for my tablet at least. Any idea if there is an emulator that enables me to connect the phone? I tried google, but it shows emu for the wp8 os itself, not connections between phone and pc.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Nothing that will let you change stuff like that. You could in theory sideload an app that launches the relevant Settings screen, then launch it using the Visual Studio debugger (though that requires being able to unlock the phone, at the least), but that wouldn't actually put you in a position to toggle the option on the Settings screen. There's no way to control the phone remotely from your PC beyond the stuff that fascilitates sideloading, app debugging, file sync, and changing the phone name. Well, and Find My Phone, but that won't help here.

ok first i installed the SACS CUSTOM ROM then ChronicKernel AOSP-JB4.2 and now my phone starts up slow and it has a hard time loading TWRP some one please help my phone is acting up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
First off this Sac's is a TouchWiz and NOT AOSP ROM.

If you flashed the wrong kernel it won't boot right/well if at all.

I haven't tried Cronic's kernel on TW, and I do know he said it 'should' work on TW but I don't know.

You can try loading ktoonz TW one.

Also.

Were you on MF9 firmware(s) before you flashed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fujirio:
no i just installed rom and then kernel. do i install TW 4.3 or 4.2? also should i install the firmware you put?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
You can't flash 4.3 because MF9 is 4.2

As for firmware what where you on before you flashed this?

You can always flash the firmware, flash, flash the ROM then flash the kernel and see if it gets going.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Lucky422:
Kernel issue

Hello, you have to update your touchwiz rom to MF9 before you root it then you can install Sacs23 custom rom. His rom already comes with a Kernel I think its Agats so you dont ahve to flash any Kernels....so what i would suggest go to settings on your phone and about and check to see if you see MF9 firmware. if it does just go ahead and do a clean install, and you should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fujirio:
thanks guys for all the help. I flashed the ktoonz TW one kernel and now its working flawlessly. You guys are amazing and thanks again for the fast reply's. :victory:

So I am wanting to link my ps3 controller to my S3 to do some gaming action...

I understand you need a OTG cable, but then I noticed the gameklip comes with this spiffy mini to micro cable. My question is, could I just buy a mini to micro cable on ebay and it work? Or does a OTG cable have some sort of special micro controller in it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] guest365:
Normal mini to micro cable is not usb otg cable. I tried mini to micro cable for usb drive, it won't work.

I never dissect my own otg cable, so i dunno if there's a micro controller inside :p

If you're rooted then you don't need a cable, just Bluetooth.

has anybody tried a 2400mah battery on the 2020i or xda2i?
[General Accessories] vmazek:
I use it on an SX66 and am not quite happy with it.

Got it on eBay and although it fits (and can be crammed into the cradle for charging purposes) it is not a very comfortable brick to lug around for two reasons:

1. Heavy

2. Finicky

It tends to fall out because the lip that holds the battery in place does not quite do so. The battery moves around until it eventually knocks off the lock and falls out. I have placed some glue to keep it in place but have had to restore my PPC from backup numerous times during a recent conference while it kept falling apart.

[NFC Hacking] daniel_loft:
Hello there!

I've been searching high an low for this, and can't seem to find a way to solve this: the sound the phone makes when detects an NFC tag is annoying! I know it is stored inside Nfc.apk and I tried (unsuccessfully) to modify that apk, but... would it be a way to modify it, maybe even easily, through the Xposed framework?

I'm no developer but I'm willing to put all the necesary information together and try to do it myself.

So please help me out here!
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
Hi Daniel,

If I remember it right this is quite easy :D

Have a look at your NFC.apk (/system/app/) and change the standard sound files (/res/raw/start.ogg and /res/raw/end.ogg) to something silent ...don´t forget to backup your nfc.apk first ..

To make it short and clear: create a silent start.ogg and a silent end.ogg file and swap these files with the standard files within the NFC.apk....
[NFC Hacking] daniel_loft:
I've done just that and, for whatever reason, Nfc.apk keept on crashing afterwards. I might have done something wrong, dunno...
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
Hmm, are your .ogg files working ?

Not sure if you could have something else done wrong, but this method was discussed several times here on xda... So, perhaps have a look via search if someone else had the same issues.

... Sent from mobile...
[NFC Hacking] Janis:
Really? I know it seems like your just tweaking an app, but systemically you're pirating someone's app, changing it, and expecting it to work. You'll need to re-sign it, at least (look for that).
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
Pirating someone's app by changing sound files in nfc.Apk? Are you serious? Have you read and understood the thread ? Nfc.apk is part of the firmware of your device ... NOT SOMEONE'S APP.

I think I know the difference between a firmware tweak and pirate apps pretty good, because a lot of people trying to pirate my apps every day and I wouldn't support any pirating.
[NFC Hacking] Janis:
Yes, it came with your phone, but really, it is technically software (perhaps by an older definition), and someone, though on a time-clock, sat at a keyboard and punched it all in. You might be surprised how much freer a development environment we'd have if people started respecting the big, bad corporations much like they do individual developers. Ten years ago M$ eased up after a crack-down when they saw what was going on, for real, on XDA. I just think it's crap that there's a signing process in place to make swapping out a sound file that much more difficult, but you make my point really well. It needs to be there. What it gets down to is where you draw the line on what's pirating and what's not, and without that line being "as soon as the app is altered at all," we end up with a lot of fuzziness. So yeah, decompile, resign. Huge hassle to figure out how to do that the first time.
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
Nope, I don´t think you got my point. You said "systemically you're pirating someone's app"...And that´s the point I do not agree. And I don´t draw a line between big corporations and individual developers. Pirating has nothing to do whether it´s some big bad corporation or a small independent developer, it only depends on the licensing model and btw. Android is open-source.

I don´t know if someone is running an asop rom or a heavy customized manufacturer rom... however the stock nfc.apk "someone, though on a time-clock, sat at a keyboard and punched it all in" ;) was build with open source in mind, so changing some sound files within the nfc.apk and pirating (e.g. changing copy-right protection and use a paid app without paying ) is something completely different for me ...even if you have to use the same methods to achieve this ...

Hi,

I have rooted my phone a week back and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 with JB 4.2.2 which is running great on my device. I was looking forward to buy a new 32 gb sd card. The problem is that currently when I download a torrent file that is more than 4 GB, the ttorrent app shows an error notifying that the limit of Fat32 is 4 GB only. I know that but while formatting with ntfs, the device is not able to recognize the card. Is there any solution for it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terimer:
You can format your external SD card with ext4 which does not have this limitation and CyanogenMod already supports ext4 formatted SD cards.

It will not work on stock. Because, it automatically formats the SD card, if recognizes that it's formatted with anything other than FAT32.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar.anmolrawat:
thanx for responses

I did not know that I had to change from mtpo to usb mass storage for formatting. I did it in NTFS and voila the phone is recognizing it. May be the cyanogen developers have added support for ntfs too :)
