Need apk updates

Hey guys, can you send me the new updated Walkman, album and movies app apk's from the system data?. Here in India, sony isn't kind for users with xperia zr. They haven't released these standalone updates for sony apps.
[Sony Xperia ZR] djpeesh:
I did. Now I'm rooted and on 4.2.2. Follow the instructions on the thread. It works very well.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
hmm after receiving my device the first thing I did was to update it to 4.2.2 (fw 2.67). Unfortunately I had to downgrade to .310 for being able to gain root with doomlord's toolkit. VRoot doesn't work for me as for an unknown reason it keeps loading like it doesn't detect the device. However unlockroot detects it, but can't get shell root.

Another strange thing is that flashtool always returns that USB debug is OFF although it's ON and well set (connectivity etc..), but I'm still able to flash despite that.

Now the question is, will the root survive to an update...

did you have root before updating ? unlocked BL also ?

[Sony Xperia ZR] DPY!:
I rooted my .67 firmware using Vroot and worked perfectly.

This is how i connected my device:

1. USB Debugging on

2. Connection mode (MSC) (from settings->xperia->usb connectivity)

3. Also exit Sony PC Companion before rooting.

Look here for image instructions:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434453

BTW you have to manually install BusyBox after rooting w/ Vroot.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
hey

Thanks for the reply, know that I'm not a lambda user :) In fact, it detects the device but keeps loading like the process was stuck at a particular step. For finally giving me the error 1001. I can't figure out what it means since it's in chinese, and there is no window task like cmd prompt too...
[Sony Xperia ZR] DPY!:
I noticed that you are using Vroot 1.6. A user on another thread for ZR reported that the phone is not detected in the Vroot 1.6.

You should try the new v1.7. And I did it on Win 8.

I was just trying to be as informative and through as I can.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
yeah, but I already tryed 1.7 first, then 1.6. Same result. Didn't try on another PC yet.

Did you unlock your BL before rooting ?

#edit : I've noticed that users it worked for own a C5502. Mine is the C5503, maybe that's why...
[Sony Xperia ZR] heikis:
I rooted my 5503 (RU image) with vroot 1.7

No issues whatsoever.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
Is your BL unlocked?

Sent from my funky ZR
[Sony Xperia ZR] airdmo:
I rooted,i am not unlock bootloader

if you can't connect,you try to install the Flashtool drivers

after you install the Flashtool drivers,try vroot again
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
I believe this has nothing to do with drivers. Everything is well, flashtool works, adb lists the device etc...

I've just updated my rooted .310 to 2.67, root has been lost. I'm trying alternatives...
[Sony Xperia ZR] aceng_87:
In 2.67 does anyone know how to enable usb debugging...and does any installed cwm that works?it seems like i cant enter cwm..:(
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
goto settings > about phone, then tap 7 times on "build number" at the bottom. This will enable dev options.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lasantha:
i was in .310 rooted installed cwm ..bdw have u installed busybox.if not do that then u can go to cwm
[Sony Xperia ZR] shteren:
i'm prompted by the phone to update to 0.67 when i'm at 0.244 atm.

i've relocked my bootloader so it should work, but i'm afraid i will lose my root and cwm, has anyone tried that?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
Yeah you'll lose root for sure. Use vroot to recover root access

Made in ZR
[Sony Xperia ZR] shteren:
hmmpff, well i updated, all went fine, supersu is still working and root-explorer lets me access system file and change permissions, i guess root is still there.

i can confirm cwm still working and booting properly also, seems like a win!

Query

I hope this is not Out of Topic, but can I ask some questions?

My phones firmware (freshly bought) is 10.11.A.1.310, then after a few minutes connected to the internet, an update appeared which is 10.3.1.A.2.67, my questions are,

1. Is the update the 4.2.2?

2. Can I root my phone now in its current firmware? (4.1.2)

3. Can I root my phone if I upgrade to the latest update?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
1+2+3 = yes
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Reply

hmm, any safe/sure/tested method to root the 4.2.2? (By safe, I mean, no bootloader unlocking, hehe)
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
vroot is by far the easiest... search for it yourself tho :p
[Sony Xperia ZR] DPY!:
You can root the new .67 firmware directly by Vroot (v1.7) :http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2434453

Also, you just bought the phone, you might find the usable internal storage of 4.5 GB to be too low. The stock 4.2.2 from Sony doesn't have the option to move any apps to SD card.

You can use FolderMount to mount Internal Storage folders to SD Card (move game data to SD Card).

However, mounting causes Reboot on ZR/Z/ZU due to lack of some permissions. There's a solution:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2317432

Use the .bat file after connecting your phone to the computer (USB Debugging on).

Now you can use FolderMount.

I have done the above on ZR C5502 .67 firmware JB 4.2.2 and FolderMount is working perfectly.

Got Me

I can't believe it, what you've said are the things that I'm interested to know at the moment! Very exact! haha,

Answer bookmarked! - Not planning to root it for awhile, I wanna keep the stock for about a month then I will root it, hehe :D

Edit : Did you unlock your bootloader before you rooted your phone? and, Is there a way how to backup TA partition? (Just in case things didn't go the way they should, hehe, [Not planning to unlock bootloader])
[Sony Xperia ZR] shteren:
The cross development forum there is a dedicated tool to backup TA partition, but you don't need to unlock in order to root and get recovery...
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
another question

Thanks for the tip! Anyways, I have another question, When I upgraded to 4.2, I received an Album app update, but as far as I Know, there are updates also for Walkman and Movies app, which I wonder I am not receiving yet, Do those updates really take time to arrive? Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia ZR] DPY!:
Bootloader stays locked!

Nope, rooting with vroot neither requires unlocked bootloader nor does it unlock it.

There's a way to backup the ta partition which was featured few weeks ago: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-backup-the-ta-partition-on-your-sony-xperia-device/

It backs up all the drm keys as well.

You can check your bootloader status by dialing into the service menu *#*#7378423#*#* i.e. *#*#service#*#*

Goto Service info -> Configuration

If it says bootloader unlock allowed : yes you bootloader is still locked.

If it says bootloader unlocked:yes then that's what it is.

Glad I could help.

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

AFAIK, application specific updates aren't frequent. In the last three months the album is the only update I have got. Maybe they updated others in 4.2 firmware update itself.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Thanks

hehe, thanks man! I know how to check if my bootloader is unlocked or not, its just that I'm scared on doing things for now because I don't want to lose any DRM data on this phone (my Xperia Ray has lost it due to unlocking officially), hehe.

about the walkman, thanks for that information, now I'm thinking if I will upgrade again through PC
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
0.244 to 0.67

I am rooted 0.244. I have the update notification for 0.67. I was worried about loosing root, but now I see vroot can be the solution.

However, the OTA update downloads but will not install. Maybe because I have tried OTA survive in SuperSU? I could not even do it with PC companion.

So I ended up freezing my update app :D

This thread seems to confirm I will either keep root after updating or I can root with vroot. Is that so??

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZR] shteren:
Mybe your bootloader is unlocked? Ota didn't work for me too so I relocked it and now it's fine
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I remember someone said upgrading from 244 to 67 via OTA didn't remove root. But for me I was unable to upgrade by OTA so I use flashtool to flash the FTF. Then I just used vroot to root again which wasn't that difficult after all.

So had to turn my 32 gig S3 in on insurance. Assurion said they couldn't replace it, no 32 gig models in S3 available, so they bumped me up to a brand new S4 in 32 gigs.

Kudos to them, because they offered it, I didn't ask for it, but gladly accepted.

Just wanted to say Hi, since it just got here I have some required reading to catch up on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:
Don't take the update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
Check your build number and see if you are on MDK or ME7. If you are on MDK DO NOT TAKE UPDATE TO ME7. MDK you are able to unlock bootloader and free your phone to flash roms etc.. ME7 only has root at this time and can not downgrade to MDK. If you are already on ME7 then there is a thread where Hashcode is working on safestrap but it is still a WIP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue6IX:
Thanks for the quick replies in warning.

I am charging the battery for first use, have not turned it on yet. Have no intentions of until I get a handle on everything. In the time since I posted i've been reading up on it, and have come to the conclusion already you have just warned me about.

As curious as I am to see what version of software it is running, I am also not informed enough (yet) to press that power button. I figure until I know what I want to do about handling the various choices that will either be presented to me, or are available to me (but may not know about unless I read first) that device is not doing anything more then charging its battery.

The one constant about an insurance replacement is you get to decide when it first powers on, not some store rep. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue6IX:
...and it looks like all my luck on this front was used up by having the 32 gig s4 offered to replace my 32 gig s3.

Yea. Thanks for the link!

I am just thankful I basically got offered an upgrade without having to wait for or pay for one, still had 6 months before I came due for one on verizon.

The hardware is really what's important, it's not really feasable to upgrade the internal memory or add in ir blaster - software problems are literally just a matter of time. We'll get it eventually, the more people pitching in to help just moves the timeline more in our favor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] richii0207:
So you're about to unlock the bootloader eh?? :confused: please link me the process of unlocking it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
Did you read what I posted? MDK can be unlocked not ME7. Or sorry MDK you can use a unsecured Loki kernel. Still get custom recovery and flash Roms etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue6IX:
From what i've read so far - and bear with me as i've only just started looking into anything about the S4 within the last few hours - it would seem that Loki is a process whereby the bootloader isn't unlocked, as much as bypassed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
That is correct. The bootloader is not truly unlocked like a nexus. However the Loki does allow a custom recovery to flash Roms,kernels,radios, etc.. Unlike ME7.

I don't think any 32gb phones have mdk since it was released later. I could be wrong tho

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iLuvMudkips:

Do you know if your insurance is still for the S3? Lets say your phone breaks and you take it in again. Are they going to give you an S3 if they have it in stock or just another S4?

Hey guys, I'm having a very weird problem with my HTC.

I was using CM 10.2 Nightly and all was well and suddenly the camera stopped working (although the front camera works btw)

The error is both a combination of "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" or "Can't connect to the camera".

As CM 10.2 is a Nightly, I thought that was the problem, I flashed back to CM 10.1, Renovate ROM, MaximusHD ROM and the problem still persists.

I don't know what else I can do, can you guys lend me some help ?

If you have ever flashed XXEMG* (or newer) ROM, to keep your IMEI working, you must:

Stay with the EFS v2 basebands (MG* or newer). You may flash other ROMs but must return to the MG* (or newer) baseband

Restore your EFS backup (taken before XXEMG* or newer ROM install) to use older (EFS v1) basebands. EFS backup must be an EFSv1 backup to use an EFS v1 baseband

If the above don't work, consider sending for repair

I'm new to Android development and read through some basics and tryed some things, now I wanted to expand my knowledge and try to regex some information from a website's source code. That thing was never a problem before when I used just java, but here in Android Studio it makes a difference somewhere, I followed the book I've read and put the "<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />" in the AndroidManifest.xml and tryed all kind of ways to get the source code of an specified URL, but couldn't do it, sometimes it didn't do anything and just jumped to the error catch and sometimes it just returned an empty string.
