[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jonathonoates:
Hi all,

Does anyone know if the ROM mentioned earlier in this thread (Open source download for Sony Z Ultra (Google Play edition – C6806); software version KRT16O.S3.1044) would be suitable to use on my Z Ultra C6833?

I have had a look around, my C6833 is on O2 in the U.K. which apparently uses LTE band 20 (800) I believe

This thread states that the C6833 and C6806 both work on all LTE bands though I am concerned that if that information is inaccurate, or they are on different frequencies then I could damage my phone as the radios may not match.

Could anyone shed any light on this, has anyone tried flashing this to a C6833? Or have I totally got the wrong end of the stick here and it just could not work?

Thanks for you're help!

I wanna know if the open source download file... Has been flashed by anyone on the phone??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
It has X-reality-read the specs on Google play or Sony development. I'll have mine later today. No mention of Playstation.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
No-one has a copy of the ROM yet. The thread you have linked to on xda is discussing US LTE bands only. The C6806 does not have the necessary LTE bands to work on the C6833. You could "potentially" damage your phone if you were to flash it, but its unlikely. Best thing to do is wait for the ROM to drop and then let the Devs pull it apart and have a look :) This time next week you will probaby be able to run that ROM but wait a few days for the sake of safety.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
We can flash the rom without the radio just like how the HTC One does it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
That "may" not be the case buddy, I asked the same question yesterday.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48354184&postcount=104

Thats why I advise letting the Devs pick it apart first. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] REAVER117:
Don't try and flash that package, that's the source code not a ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
come on, the ultra must be just about fast enough to compile a kernel and os on the fly ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jarjaryan:
c6802 can install it? :'(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
I think they feel guilty about the camera...

QUOTE=mottyengel;48350160]I'm so excited but this is soooo weird... I thought this massive massive phone was a niche device. Why didnt they do the Z1? I guess I understand why though, they already have the N5, the S4 And the ONE, so instead of adding another 5 inch google play phone, or a slightly larger note 3, they figure why not go with the biggest.

I'm not complaining it just seems so random.

So how does this help us? and It won't really be helping for a few weeks/ months no?[/QUOTE]

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Good perspective. Thanks.

I have never in 15yrs as a smartphone addict had such little desire for a custom Rom....or even boot for that matter.

Testament to this device.

QUOTE=fastest83;48353786]XD

Seriously guys, I'm excited by this news as much as the next guy, but come on, just stop *****ing even BEFORE anybody has any device and/or boot images in hand.

They're starting to ship them in 1-2 days, I'm guessing end of the week we'll be seeing reviews all over the net, and maybe next week Google will release the sources and we'll go in from there.

But hey, I just finished today saying that I don't need updates because the Ultra is perfect (software wise) and tonight they surprise us with this?? Just... amazing.

P. S. Where's that guy that said our device will never have devs support now? Where is he? Did he sell his Ultra to get a Note 3? BAM! Here comes the dynamiiiiiite!!! :D

P. S. I know it was me that made Sony and Google partner up. I used the GPE live wallpaper since D1... XD

I gotta say, that's some quality quoting right there [MENTION=342315]rockky[/MENTION] :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] EVO'D_OUT:
When I saw the announcement yesterday for the GPE ZU I briefly thought about returning my C6806 ZU since I am still in the 30-day refund window. GPE is $30 cheaper than the C6806 through Sony as well! At the end of the day I like the Sony ROM though and would miss the walkman and some other stock features. Would it be too much to ask for the GPE ROM + Sony apps?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] b22ri22an:
mine on the way, arrives Tuesday! (personal information redacted from image)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Get the GPE and load up a stock rom if you like Sony but want to save some cash :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Wolf-5:
I wouldn't even think twice about it... I would already have bought the GPE and prepared to return your original. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
This is ME predicting the future on September 8, 3 months before the Z Ultra GPE came out.

I mean, I really predicted the future.

Behold the mighty fastest83!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Not bad! Now, how does my future look like, Wise Fastest?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
It does look pretty, I assure you that... B)

P.S. Note that I said "Z Ultra GPE", not "Xperia Z Ultra"...

I'm scaring myself. O_O
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, I noticed that and it's freaky, UNLESS you edited your post! :p

#Conspiracy #Faker #WhatIsOprahUpToTheseDays

(It would take me 3 seconds to find out since it says if it's edited under the post, but I'm on mobile, so I won't bother checking)

(But it's time for me to get some sleep now, so please lower your voice and turn the music down)

(Yes, this post proves how tired i am.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Time to boot up the Linux machine and start compiling the source code!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
And that's how creepy it is, since I did not edit that post. 9_9
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
I had a look at doing this last night, not sure it's "all" the required source - kernel and external files are there but not the specific device files :) krabappel could confirm once he's back online.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Anyway, no harm to merge it with CM base and try compiling.:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Won't fix more bugs then I have with AOSP ROMs at the moment :p but you may always try
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
Can't we just get the flash file as other flash files and flash the google play flash file to our sony ultra I mean the full stock google play flash file when google put it up for download.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
I believe we can since the hardware is pretty much the same..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] graffixnyc:
Hoping for them to release the factory images might be a lost cause. They have not released a single factory image for the HTC One GPE. I don't know about the gs4 because I don't have that one but there has been nothing for the HTC One except kernel source and framework support files.. I'm ordering the GPE ultra Z from google play tomorrow. If no one does it by the time I get it, I will work on a conversion process just like I did to convert the HTC One sense version into a GPE complete with OTA's and all.

Edit: never mind.. I realized when I posted this I was only on page 3 of 11 of the thread thinking I was at the end. So I'm not sure if someone did it already. Haha I'm tried and burnt out from studying for finals :P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vista109:
will the GPE version ZU do any help to original android development?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Just by getting the build.prop from gpe version we now have data and WiFi on aosp built 4.4.

Imagine if we get our hands on the blob files and vendor specific files and drivers.

Practically, we now have a nexus device in our hands. Nexus z ultra :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I almost have the system files ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChillyChan:
Thanks, I'd love to have a conversion like that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
Is the system files doable for a full flash with flash tool we hope we pray.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] trellva25:
A full system flash with flashtool would be a godsend, only if it can be so...now that would make make my day as i desperately want a z ultra Google edition z ultra but cannot since i live outside the US
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
same i wanna flash using flashtool
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JunBringer:
Super pumped for this. I hadn't planned on messing with my Z Ultra, but having it sort of be a Nexus will be a gadget nerd's dream come true. Can't wait!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheManii:
What bootloader version is in KRT16O.S3.1044?

Do you have a dump of the radio/bootloader along with it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
If you guys need a guinea pig for the C6802, I'm happy to volunteer. However, I have an exam today, so I'll do any testing 6 hours later from now. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kumeipark:
I'm in.... No Exam... No Job.... Free 24x7x365.....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RomanticDog:
don't think it is easy to copy the Google Edition Rom to the normal devices
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Indeed, probably won't just be flashing and ready to go. Would probably require unlocked bootloader so it's same as trying an AOSP rom, which I almost got fully functional now :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] manu1991:
of course, but at the very least, it will solve driver issues etc. in CM/AOSP.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Yes, but I use almost no extra GPE proprietary files at the moment. But some are usefull :p

Sent fromy Xperia Z1 using xda app-developers app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heiserj:
Z Ultra GPE

Anyone have any luck getting a non-GPE loaded with the ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] acbc2k:
Anyone tested on C6802 yet? Used one quite cheap here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gsmarda:
can my c6802 be converted to GPe version with regular updates being recd OTA???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
^^

Not at the moment. Devs are still working.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dimex:
Jesus Z Ultra Christ. Just read the thread, all three of your questions' answers are a few pages back.

I'm about to order a Z Ultra. I'm coming from a Note 3, and although the S-Pen is nice, I barely used it in reality. It may be the same for the ZU.

I'm trying to decide between Sony ZU or GPe. Which one should I get!?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Go with the Xperia and flash GPe on it. That way you'll have the option between using stock Sony ROMs (which are good) and GPe/AOSP ROMs (which are also good). You can't flash Sony ROMs on the GPe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kingrichards:
I was watching YouTube videos and it seems that the Google Play Edition doesn't use the same launcher on Nexus 5 does anybody know that they will be able to do that the actual Google Play Edition is not the Nexus 5 rom hope they can actually poured the Nexus 5 wrong one
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Not too sure about your question. Are you saying that you wanna load Nexus 5 rom on a gpe?

If it's only the launcher you're looking for, you can install it in your gpe without installing a rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That's because the Nexus 5 is the only device that comes with GEL (Google Experience Launcher) out of the box. You can easily install it yourself by googling for the APK. It's been posted all over XDA.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kingrichards:
thank you I think I finally got my question answered
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kingrichards:
So is the GPE ROM out yet? Or good to see install?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Um, yeah.

Looks like there is a way to have inter-compatibility between the old S-Note files for the new 2014 devices like Note 3.

With all the lost functions on the new 2014 S-Note , it might be better to take the 2012 S-Note instead:

Finally got my G2 to TO root with su binaries installed. Now can someone point me in the direction of a recovery install That will work after latest update. I have tried flashing and a couple other methods to no avail.

Thanks in advance
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fountain79:
Okay will try
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellybear456:
I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
If you DONT have the ota and update with a custom recovery it will bootloop, need stock recovery but if you have the ota flashing a custom recovery is fine...could always see if theirs a stock ROM with ota included too

I have the ota and twrp recovery rooted...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fountain79:
I got the phone this past Friday. Took the ota update before even attempting to root the device. I used the newest ioroot12 and achieved root yesterday. I have tried to use the Loki method to flash recovery also tried using flashify neither one has worked. What method did you use. Also thanks for your help...??
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
Do you have twrp 2.6.3.2 IMG? Or 2.6.3.3 zip first
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fountain79:
Got both
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
Really and flashify wont work? You can use fastboot and adb to push a recovery only IMG though not the zip

Hmm if not you might need to revert as jellybear said...I'm at work....and can't help as much....use general forums andand rrthreada for your carrier I'll try to help
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fountain79:
Okay gonna try again

I'll try to help though

Just flashed recovery img with flashify again. It says complete and gives option to flash more stuff or reboot. I choose reboot and it powers off. So I tried power button and vol down and that way also just powers off...

Can you start ROM and use goomanger to boot into recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fountain79:
I have tried with rom toolbox and quick boot. Downloading goo manager now

That didn't work either gonna try and use adb to push it through. It seems like it's not installing maybe a bad download of the recovery img. gonna re do

The Official Wireless Charger is finally available in the Play store in the UK for £34.99 (but with £10.99 shipping...)

I have just ordered one and it says ships in 1 to 2 days. Nice.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cpam:
I am looking for wireless charger, but £46 is little bit too much. Pass
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theickleone:
Ordered mine today, I've been waiting since the n4 orb - but happy to have this one. I want to see what the magnets are like, I'm hoping I don't have to fight with it too much!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
SO tempted to buy one today...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dr Doom:
Is there anywhere you can buy it on the high street to avoid the excessive shipping cost? Was annoyed enough about having to pay a tenner to ship the phone itself. Would have ordered both at the same time if i'd known
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
Tell me about it - I almost bought an LG QuickCover from the Play Store the other week so that would have been almost £33 on shipping given the phone and the wireless. The annoying thing is that if they were all available on launch day I would have bought them all at once saving myself £22...

Anyways, I found the QuickCover for £34.99 on MobileFun with only £2.99 delivery and I have voucher code for £5 off next order so this made it under £30 delivered.

You can also order the Nexus Wireless Charger from there but they don't have it in stock and they are charging £49.99 for the pre-order...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
[MENTION=267200]Dr Doom[/MENTION] - I have just noticed that you must be the same type of XDA member as me - 8 years of membership but only 70 posts :) Did you join up originally regarding a Windows Mobile phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dr Doom:
Haha yeah for an O2 XDA Mini S back in the day. Then posted infrequently about each new phone i've had. How about you?

I went to cancel the order of the phone to add a wireless charger and it said I couldn't as it was already being processed for shipping. Then got my email confirmation. When I ordered a couple of hours ago it said the black 32gb would take 2-3 weeks to leave the warehouse!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
I think their shipping estimates are pretty conservative. You should love the phone when it arrives - definitely the best I've had.

I was only writing up my phone history the other day:

Why do Google's P&P charges seem inversely proportional to the item cost? A nexus 5 should cost more to ship than a quick cover, you would think?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
It's a money-making exercise as when I bought my Nexus 5 and bumper case I paid for one lot of postage. No doubt if I'd waited until now to get this as well I'd still only be paying one lot of £10.99 :(

Having said that, I'm still gonna get one - maybe two - of these...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] widdle:
I just noticed in the description

What's in the box

Nexus Wireless Charger

9W 1.8A AC Adaptor (For use in the United States and Canada only)

I'm hoping that's just Google being lazy updating the website. Can whoever gets one of these in the UK confirm what adapter comes with it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biohaz55:
I hesitated when I saw the delivery charge but have been waiting for this so I thought what the hell and ordered one.... looking forward to getting it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jonyid:
My brother said he'd get it for me for christmas however from across the office i heard "f**k that" when he saw the delivery charge...think i may be waiting until amazon or someone get stock
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
Same here!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TarkoonXDA:
Here in Germany the sentence is translated into German, but it still says 'for use in USA and Canada only'... Weird... :confused:

-> "Netzteil mit 9 W, 1,8 A AC (nur zur Verwendung in Kanada und den USA)"

---- EDIT ----

I just reached the German Google support hotline and the guy from Google told me, that we all get the US/Canada Adapter and have to buy a converter or something like that ourself...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chistery:
I asked Google why P&P gets cheaper when the item gets bigger and heavier, and their reply was that Parcelforce set the charges, and Google have no say in it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PalaceMan:
I hope that's not true!

Just received shipping notification so will find out soon enough.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
Received shipping notification myself earlier so should see tomorrow if the correct adaptor is included - will not be happy if it comes with US plug!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
Revived charger this morning and can confirm that it comes with a UK plug.

I new this thing was small but it is literally a quarter the size I was expecting!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chaosdefinesorder:
The UK Play Store listing appears to have been updated to remove the US/Canada bit as well...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TarkoonXDA:
Ok, I called the support again and the guy repeated, that we all get US power adapters...

BUT

...since this morning the "US/Canada only" is also missing in the description on Google Play Store here in Germany.

I really hope that the guys at Google's support hotline have just wrong information.

My charger should arrive today so I will get to know it soon...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
Read the previous page, it's confirmed it comes with a UK plug :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TarkoonXDA:
I clearified my post, because I was talking about Germany - a UK plug wouldn't be much better for me... ;)

So seem to be some REALLY badly informed guys on the German hotline...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
No, I'd imagine not! I reckon they've sorted it out - I can't see Google risking it going wrong!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
I would say that if your Nexus 5 came with the right plug then so will any official accessories.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MattSkeet:
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/accessories/accessory/dt-910/ this is what I bough, much more convinient that flat N5 charger...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrubbery:
Suppose that all depends on whether you want to use your phone as a bedside clock or just charge it.

I prefer the Nexus charger personally.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Riiquiem:
Yea but does it turn off when it's done loading?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TarkoonXDA:
Hi again,

now I know for sure, that the Google support is REALLY badly imformed about what they sell...

On the Play Stores around the world for some days you could read, that the wireless charger is delivered with US/Canada only power adapter even in countries with different plugs like here in Germany.

I called the Google support, they said it is no error but the truth, I had to buy a converter. And now I even got an email from the official Google Support about that:

"Sehr geehrter Herr #####,

vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung.

Es stimmt, dass das mitgelieferte Netzteil einen US/Canada-Stecker hat und keinen Europäische. Ich entschuldige mich für eventuell entstandene Unannehmlichkeiten.

Für weitere Fragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Außerdem möchten wir Ihnen eine kurze anonyme Umfrage zu Ihren Erfahrungen mit dem Kundenservice ankündigen, die wir in den nächsten Tagen durchführen. Wir möchten unseren Kundenservice stets weiter verbessern und Ihr Feedback ist dabei sehr wertvoll.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Sorry that it is in German, but it says, that the wireless charger is indeed delivered with the US/Canada only power adapter...

But I received mine today and there was a German plug inside - NO US/Canada only!

Google should really teach their support guys about their misinformation...
