[Sony Xperia L] Matrriosh:
The phone is bought in Europe (Croatia) in T-Mobile. I am still under contract so my provider wont let me unlock my phone or give me any code for it. Before XL i had Samsung Galaxy Mini and i found some tool on XDA forum to unlock phone to work on all networks so i thought maybe someone knows some tool like that so i can unlock my XL. The point is that someone told me if i unlock my phone to work on all networks that way i will be able to unlock my bootloader, to be honest i dont know if that is true or not. When i check bootloader status it says "Bootloader unlock : not allowed". So i am actually finding a way to be able to unlock my bootloader. When i talked with my provider about that they don't know **** about it or they just wont tell me. So i would be very helpful if anyone could give me any advice or tutorial how to change bootloader status to allowed. I allready got the code from sony to unlock bootloader and all the tools i need to do it but i am afraid to start the process so i don't brick or brake my phone in any way since my bootloader status is set to not allowed. Thank you.

Not the best test ever, just took 3 pics at work with A Better Camera, the stock 4.3 camera (at iso 50) and Pro Capture camera.

If you do a 100% the stock camera looks more detailed to me with less artifacts than the ProCapture and A Better Camera looks the worst.

Note that ProCapture and A Better Camera were done using their auto modes. All pics were taken with the phone on the stand to avoid any movement and all used touch focus (on the GE logo).

Hey I have recently flashed the gpe 4.4.2 for xperia z ultra and I have benchmarked and found my phone is under what it is meant to be (i was using antutu) it Is sitting under the s4 and is meant to be above all but the note 3. I am at factory clock and I have 1.2g of ram free and I don't understand why it is not..well as powerful as it should be.

No background processes were running at the time. It got a score of 24712 and its meant to have something in the 3000 mark
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Not sure where you have been but that is normal for the current 4.4 roms for the Ultra. If you want 35k scores you need to be on 4.3 Sony or wait longer to see if it gets up there.

I have not seen other benchmarks so it would be interested to see if it is only one Benchmark showing this decrease or if it is all.

I am sure someone will come up cry benchmarks are useless etc...and if it is one then sure, but if all of them are reporting loses, it doesnt take a genius to realize there is indeed decrease performance.

Now if you can or cant tell it on daily usage that is another story.

So yeah, I would love to see other scores reported. Like on Note 2 I recall my 3Dmark scores were always higher with CM roms but of course, different phones and Roms under development.

Call TMO USA and tell them you have problem sending MMS. They will send you a SMS with the right settings. Even if you think you got the right settings probably you missing something and there is nobody else who can give you better settings than TMO Call Service.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptoekirk:
Im new to this T-Mobile service as well as Sony Xperia Z1s and I have been having issues sending and receiving group messages which are MMS since the first day... T-Mobile says some bull**** its a common problem with Android phones or that each member in the group must have group messaging enabled. Well it worked just fine when I was on AT&T with a Samsung Galaxy S4 so i told them there full of crap. Its either the phone thats having the issue or its T-Mobile and ive done some research and there are several phones that have issues with MMS on T-mobile not just the Sony... Call them and escalate past the donkeys at level one and get to level two so they can submit an incident report to the engineers so they can fix it. It is there job to fix this type of ****.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
That explain everything. TMO servise is crap. Sorry to hear that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tougefreak:
I figured out the problem, it has something to do with their LTE network. Whenever I am on LTE, I won't be able to do MMS, but if you go to

Mobile Network --> Network Mode ----> choose WCDMA/GSM only.

The phone will be running on H+ or 3.5G instead of LTE, then all the MMS will go through without problems. Once you switch back to LTE the problem occurs again..it's retarded.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
LOL...how this can happen? Unbelievable.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
The Fix

Still having MMS issues? Try this (I have the Z3, and same issues, but this fixed it!)

1) Add a NEW APN (Settings-->More-->Mobile networks-->Access Point Names ((APN))-->push the + sign button) using these settings (and make sure to select it after creating and saving it):

Name: T-Mobile Data 2

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy: not set

MMS port: not set

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 <---(DOES NOT APPLY TO THE Z3, BUT OTHER PHONE USERS MAY WANNA TRY IT)

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Auth Type: not set

APN type: default,mms,supl,admin,hipri

APN proto: IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming proto: IPv4/IPv6

APN enable/disable: enable

Bearer: unspecified

Now to fix the issue with MMS messages being separated for no good reason (stock app can't handle them properly).

Guys...............this is the answer to your MMS problems. I have the Z3 and the same issue with the crappy stock text app. Textra is fantastic, looks COOLER than stock, and has all sorts of neat extras. (The add-on app that gives you cool iOS emojis that look better than the ones that come stock with Textra can be found here.)

My notes on Textra (please read):

2) ENABLE Stock Messenger app, making sure in "App info" screen (in Settings) that the "Notifications" box is unchecked. (Not sure if unchecking it matters, but I'd do it anyway to avoid double notification of incoming texts.) Also, under Stock Messenger's settings, make sure ALL boxes are unchecked as well. (You can try disabling stock text app if you want, but I don't, so not sure you really should either, but it might still be ok?)

3) In Textra (download this great text SMS/MMS messaging app if you haven't already from Google Play Store), make sure it's your default app, under Settings, "Use MMS for Group Chats" should be checked, MMS Settings: No Limit, and check the T-Mobile Wifi Calling Fix box too. (Post here or PM me if you'd like additional Textra settings suggestions.)

OPTIONAL: IF HAVING ISSUES RECEIVING TEXTS FROM iPHONE USERS WHO HAVE iMessage ENABLED ON THEIR IPHONE, THEN FOLLOW THIS: And lastly, there’s the “iMessage” issue ppl like myself are/were having (also those with LG G2 I’ve heard have this issue too) where when someone with an iPhone sends you an MMS pic text msg while their iMessage option is on, you don’t get the text…….. try this (a T-Mobile store rep told me this and it worked!): send YOURSELF an MMS photo text msg but include at least one other phone # as well too. If you’re using Textra or anything besides just the stock text app, then do this for EACH app. If that is the case, then do it via stock app first then Textra (easier this way). If you receive the pic successfully, then ask anyone you know with an iPhone to send you an MMS message (preferably having a 3rd phone # in on it too, but not sure if you need to) with iMessage ON. If you receive it, then it worked. If not, try this again.

Good luck!

need to do something like downgrade?

if need downgrade, pls let me know how!!

thx all
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulusJ93:
Hi everybody,

Normally i dont get stuck but this time ive hit a rock, basically Ive got a HTC One which then had the bootloader unlocked and a GE ROM with CWM installed.

What I did was possibly stupid as i S-Offed to clear the tampered/relocked status and before running the stock RUU I relocked the bootloader and S-Oned (this is to later sell the handset as close to stock as possible).

What happens now is the phone will boot into the bootloader/fastboot with a TAMPERED/LOCKED/Security Warning status however any attempt to flash ZIP will backfire in signature verify failed.

Ive tried any number of RUU/img/recovery/ZIPs to get it functioning however the closest I've been is using the rom.zip from "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe" which stalled due to the main-version being above the RUU.

My info:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.17.3250.14

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

- to note it was ORANG001 before i changed the CID to HTC__001

From what i can tell as i cant boot into anything i cant get S-OFF or unlock the bootloader again, can anyone think of a way to either downgrade/edit the main-version or make it skip the check?

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You need s-off to use that ruu (1.28.401) and you need to downgrade hboot to 1.44.

can you still boot in cwm? Why can't you unlock the bootloader again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulusJ93:
It wont boot into anything but the bootloader, i cant unlock the bootloader as when trying to push the unlock code the error "FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)" is generated.

In my current sticky situation would there be anyway to get an older hboot or the ENG hboot on the device?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
are you using the same token you used to unlock the bootloader for the first time?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulusJ93:
sorry for the bump?

any further ideas? I've looked at possibly decrypting a rom.zip and altering the version numbers so it will play ball however again it looks like it will need S-Off to flash that edited zip without HTCs private encryption.

In light of so many leaks of personal data, I decided to see what was happening on my phone for fun:

I used Network Connections App, which shows the user what connections are active on Android.

[Moto X General] Steve-x:
What did you do to flash back to 4.2.2? That raises a red flag for me as the upgrade to 4.4.2 would have incremented the bootloader version and from what I can determine you can only safely downgrade to 4.4 (Yes I know there is no 4.4 for Rogers)

Try holding the power button down for up to 1 minute. A few times if needed, while connected to the computer via USB.
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
First I would uninstall xposed or anything like that. Then, I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, so you would need to flash the the 4.2.2 (I assume that is what you are on?) recovery. I'm not sure if having root will do anything. If so, then you need to reflash the stock kernel and then clear the cache and you should be back to stock. Alternatively I think you can also use a tool kit.

I'm not rooted I just received my update notification and it's downloading 4.4.2 as we speak.

[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Look for a site with the full original rogers firmware. I assume prior to 4.4.2 ota that you are on the latest version for rogers. The latest full firmware is what you want. You then just unzip the package and use mfastboot (moto-fastboot) to flash the "recovery.IMG" file that's in the firm ware package. Then I would flash motoboot.IMG and boot.IMG and clear your cache.

So you dump those three files into the folder you have mfastboot.exe in, and boot the phone into boot loader.

You then:

Mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.IMG

Mfastboot flash boot boot.IMG

Mfastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG

Mfastboot erase cache

Conversely, you can back everything up and manual flash the full 4.4.2 rogers firmware if its out there.
