I have the lte version C6806. The Germany ftf one will keep my lte in America? and thank you guys so much for doing what you do. If you and nut and dog were not here I would be lost and others that I can't remember there sn right now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
If your AT&T then it could... I've not seen anything about software differences with the 6806 0r 6833

I know hardware wise they wont... but thats a whole nother level.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
I am with t-mobile. Is there a way I can lock my bootloader again. After that would I have to flash factory kernel? I want to.do this so I can get the 6806 firmware for us. What would the procedure be.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Just leave your bootloader unlocked.

1- Flash the German C6833 base. Then you'll have a working ROM.

To get ROOT you'll need to:

2- flash a modified kernel,

3- then flash superuser, and then

4- flash the stock kernel.

I have posted the stock .132 kernel... Its a .elf format. But haven't tested it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
I flash the rom in flash tool as is no other un checking? Then i also flash the .elf in flash tool as well?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
ummm... you could flash FTF and untick kernel. Then boot into recovery and flash superuser. then flash the FTF but only select the kernel.

In theory this will work.

Will have a rooted .132
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
One more thing i am sorry for all the questions. In flash tool in the wipe section do i need to could i uncheck any of those? or does this have to be a clean install. I am guess yes clean install?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Just leave flash tool stock. (other than the kernel)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Yes that is what I thought, modified kernel problem.. this practically shows that new kernel is different. So maybe after all process done flashing new stock kernel will be the solution but it was almost midnight so I simply restored nandroid backup. Thanks for your hard works guys
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hykhleif:
Please I suggest re-writing this thread as it's too messy
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It's a discussion about rooting a new firmware, what do you expect?

And those that flashed the modified kernel for. 290, I said hotboot...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
For those with a locked BL see [NUT]'s new ROM.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Just ignore them Blue... some people are never happy. Perhaps we should post our address so we can root their device for them... I mean thats probably what they want...

DoggROM is complete... works. But need to flash FTF "kernel only"

There are wifi, bluetooth, 4G and 3G tweaks in the new kernel.

I see NUT has the same issues, and his stripped FTF is the kernel and partition.

Gotta head out, will test and then upload DoggROM. Feel free to use that blue and make your ROM off it..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Confirmed, so I repeated the processes, coming from monx rom, c6833 rooted and UBL:

- flashed Germany ftf and then

- followed OP for

Coming from stock 14.2.A.1.136 with unlocked BL

, but I use 'fastboot boot kernel-dual.img' instead of hotboot with flashtool

- reboot and everything works except I got partial root (cannot mount R/W on /system)

- changed /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable (from '1' to '0') and I got full root.

- tried to reboot to see if it works permanently.. and.. it does!

happy with it. thanks blue!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Good that it works,odd that you had to disable ric manually as I didn't have to and it sounds like hamdogg didn't have to either.

When I using

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
From the screenshot it looks like the phone has booted in the os. Power of the phone and hold the volume up key while connecting to the pc

EDIT: [MENTION=5043976]reednoel4u[/MENTION] I was away/out at family yesterday and it looks like I may have led you wrong. The phone does look to have booted so you would need to boot back to fastboot to boot the recovery again.

But see the op for new instructions now that we have a kernel with recovery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] reednoel4u:
Hi [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION],

I can't go to recovery by put power on the phone, when the show the logo SONY, put and keep Volume Up and My phone not root

Please help me!

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Download the superSU app off the play store. What may have happened is that you have binaries installed, but not the app.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] reednoel4u:
Thanks [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION],

I down SuperSU,Super User from Pleay Store , and install, but when run XZU-recovery4-Windows, but it say :

Please help me Root C6802 fw 136!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] reednoel4u:
Hi [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION],

Thanks for your support,

My phone already root, but I have mistake to go to recovery!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Strange, I can't enter recovery with holding volume + :S.

So when I hotboot the kernel it flashes the purple led but never boots into recovery, solution?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I think the best way now will be to use [MENTION=2686480]jackie099[/MENTION]'s newly built kernel/recovery, should just need to flash that from flashtool and not have to worry about the hotboot step or the install recovery step.

I was away from a pc yesterday so couldn't test or edit the OP easily, I'll get to it latter.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
I tried flashing it as well and while the purple led flashes like its going into recovery the phone boots into the system instead, damn!

Also, for some reason it takes much longer to boot when I flashed that kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I have updated the OP now, but haven't tested yet but should work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
I wonder why it shows the purple led but yet continues into the system.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I guess you could try a new flash of the FTF?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
I flashed the FTF, the kernel and then restored the stock kernel.

I will wait for you to test it, if it works for you then I'm doing something wrong.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
ok recovery worked here on a cleanish install of 136:confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Weird!

All you did was flash ftf, flash kernel and you were able to boot into recovery :)?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yep.

Well to tell the truth the steps that I did yesterday and then just now were:

Lock BL to do some testing (before [NUT] had released his ROM)

Downgrade to .532

Root

Install recovery

Flash my BE-Rom (.290)

Part-flash .136

Try to keep root and recovery (ended in a soft brick most times)

Flash rest of .136 to get .136 system - this resulted in losing root and recovery every time

Then this morning:

Unlock BL

Flash 136.img with flashtool

Boot into recovery

Flash SuperSU

Boot system and test R/W of /system

Don't have enough charge to do a full FTF flash atm to test from a clean install, but I cant see why it's not working
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
But if it's not working to boot the kernel or flash it how would a total wipe help?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm not sure what you are asking here...

So let me get this straight,

You have a flash of .136 ftf

you have now flashed jackie's 136.img that has recovery

boot system, and when the purple led shows you press the volume up key

Have you tried to enter twrp by pressing the vol. down key when the purple led shows?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
omg haha... I'm so DUMB. I've been so used to just press vol up at the logo and never when the purple led shows.

So sorry for wasting your time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I was on unlocked bootloader and rooted; I then flashed the FTF to get to A.1.136, and it worked fine, but I lost root.

I have tried the hot-booting the chillychan dual recovery, phone is off, button pressed and USB inserted and the following is seen...

$ sudo ./fastboot -i 0x0fce boot sony-136-chillychan-dual-recovery-kernel.bin
< waiting for device >
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.564s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 5.630s

the status LED turns orange, and then the system starts to boot as normal. Is there anything I need to do so as to enter recovery? I've repeated the above exercise quite a few times.

thanks for any ideas

OMG! Thank you so much, I thought I wasnt unlocked cause it said that. Would you know how to unlock the bootloader to the latest firmware, 136?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
You can get everything here "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569904". But please make sure to backup TA partition first before unlocking bootloader .And for backing TA partiton you need to root first.

If you have already unlocked before and not relocked yet there is no need to unlock again for .136.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Phaze1585:
No, ive never unlocked my bootloader before. But I have also tried to root myphone so I can back-up the TA partition, but i cant seem to root my phone. I thought the bootloader had to be unlocked before I could root it. I was using Kiwi Techs method of rooting, achieve root by using the Sony Flashtool, but everytime I tried that, it wouldnt root. So I really dont know what my options are when it comes to rooting the latest firmware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Here what I think of unlocking bootloader and rooting .136

-Downgrade to .532 ftf using latest flashtool version(make sure you have necessary flashtool drivers install)

-Root .532 by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 ,select 0 in option(make sure you have adb drivers installed)

-Back up TA Partiton

-Unlock bootloader

-flash .136 ftf using latest flashtool version

-root .136 using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631866

Also there is no need for flashtool for rooting. Flashtool is for flashing ftfs ,unlocking/relocking bootloaders and flashing kernels.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yep, the only way to root without first unlocking the BL is to downgrade to .532 and root that

Well I can't figure out why my group messages split into individual contact discussions.. I'll go on break while at work and have 25 new messages in seperate discussions and then have to go through all the different boxes to try and piece together a semi-coherent conversation... really frustrating. I'm on the newest release of JellyBomb Domination ROM. The same the happens whether I'm using the stock messaging app, Handcent, and Hangouts... just really frustrated with it and wondered if anyone maybe had a solution.

Would like to update to CM11.0 and TWRP 2.6.3.1 but can't load into fastboot mode.

adb works.

sdk tools installed.

rooted and running CM 10.2

device drives installed correct, displays as Android Composite ADB Interface.

ADB debugging is active on ROM

Any ideas how to boot into fastboot mode?

Not sure what else I can do / check.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You don't need fastboot to flash cm 11... Since you have cm 10.2 that means you have twrp recovery, so put the rom and twrp latest update on the device and run a simple "adb reboot recovery" while it's booted in the cm os, wipe everything except internal storage and flash the twrp update zip, hit reboot > recovery, then install cm 11 ROM then the gapps.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 96whitels:

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Ah good to hear, for future reference if you need fastboot access try "adb reboot bootloader", that and a few other ways can do it too, but if it gets bricked you get stuck with the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" method that involves you needing the fastboot drivers already installed, and running this command with the device off before plugging it in at "waiting for device". That command is so much easier to use with Linux IMO.

Hi guys I just purchased the Samsung 64gb micro sd card and I'm having some issues.

I just copied over ~45 gb of FLAC music to the sd card using two different methods. 1) Taking the sd card out and using a sd to usb adapter and 2) plugging the phone into my computer via usb.

Both times all of the files copied over without any error or interruptions and after I put the sd card in my phone and booted it up I can't detect any of the files from Shuffle or ES File Explorer

So I plugged the sd card back into my computer and both times all of the folders are empty and none of the FLAC files are present. I ran diskcheck on the sd card and it said it fixed all of the errors but all of the FLAC files are still missing... Now I just have a folder called FOUND.000 on the root with a bunch of .chk files in it that are about the size of an album of FLAC music (~300mb)

What is going on...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zimmertr:
I used Windows Explorer to copy the files over. It looks like I have either a counterfeit or defective card. I ran SD Insight and H2testw on it and both returned obviously suspicious results.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It is not hard coded into the modem. It is a setting.

You could search something like "I777 force 2g", but I think you will find that it has to be coded into the firmware, because AT&T doesn't want you to do that. You can probably set to 2g through the service menu. I don't know which settings, though. I did find the following:

*#197328640# in your dialer will open the service menu

Debug Screen->Phone Control->Network Control->Aquisition Order->GSM->UMTS

In that screen you can set it to aquire gsm before umts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Also there is an option to set preferred network type by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then tap Device information, scroll down and there is a selection box to make ur choice.

Not sure how to make the set choice stick though. It changes, after reboot or if u back out of the Device info, back to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).

?? Don't know much about this...may be sim dependant as to what will stick. :/

If the network settings were from ROM then it should have worked as i9100 has no such problem. But it is with my i777 so it comes from either modem or Kernel. On i777 option also work with *#2263# along with *#197328640# but problem is same on restart phone goes to default option. In i727 if we change network option via dialer then option is retained even after restart. please see if it can be fixed in i777 by ROM or Modem or Kernel modification.
