Since I am on 4.3 rooted, do I have to go back to 4.1 ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
not necessary, you can flash it from .569 with recovery.

Hi, thanks for the guide, but I don't know where to start, I'm on 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.67 Rooted and busyboxed,

at what point of the guide I should start?

Thanks for the answer and the work you are doing.

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
just start with point 1. :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] mattman83:
Came back to rooted stock from CM11 as too many apps don't play nicely.

Simple procedure. Copy flashable zip to SD, save FTF somewhere on computer, save chainfire supersu flashable installer to SD also.

Reboot to recovery, wipe all, flash rom zip, flash supersu. Power down from recovery and reboot to flashmode, flash stripped ftf.

Reboot again , profit :D

Cannot Root Xperia Tablet Z LTE (SGP3321) on 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101

Hi, Apologies in advance for this lengthy post. I've been trying (on & off) for 3 weeks to root my Xperia Z LTE (SGP321) runing the above firmware without any joy.

I've been using the method detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588442 i.e. downgrade to 4.1.2; root using DoomLord; install recovery using TABZ-flashing a 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 zip file in Philz recovery; and then flashing a "stripped" 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 ftf file.

I just cannot get it to work.

1. Downgrading to 4.1.2 (using Flashtool) seems to work fine.

2. Rooting the newly installed 4.1.2 with DoomLord seemed to work. e.g. SU appears in the app draw, is configurable and seems to work

This is where everthing seems to go pear-shaped

3. (a)The DualLockedRecovery process doesn't seem to work. It does not install CWM or TWRP (From what I have since read, TWRP is not available for Xperia LTE tablets) recoveries - it just installs the "vanilla" Philz.

(b) Cannot flash the 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101_CE1.zip file in Philz. Flashing always fails after about 2 seconds.

Anyway, long story short - the whole thing fall apart after rooting 4.1.2; resulting in numerous re-installs of stock 4.3 using "EMMA".

Can anyone out there point me in the direction of reliable methods of rooting my tablet.

I love android, but android without Tasker, Xposed Framework etc is unthinkable.

What's the best bang for my buck in terms of a battery case that HSS a built in battery? Also, is the Anker 7200mAh or ZeroLemon 7000 better? I've looked at reviews but havent seen them compared and a distinct winner.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wetbiker7:
I'm using the Zerolemon rugged case with holster and love it. I had to make a slight modification to the case because it was interfering with the proximity sensor but it wasn't hard to do. If I had a choice to buy the case again knowing what I know now, I would.

Hello all,

I just recently noticed the RC3 for CyanogenMod, and tried to flash it, I failed with the status code 7, and disregarded it, and went back to my old CyanFox ROM. Weirdly, i started to not be able to connect to AT&T and get no service for minutes at a time, about every 10 minutes. I flashed LiquidSmooth, same problem, flashed CarbonROM, same problem. i flashed the most recent modem baseband, but the problem persists. I cannot seem to find a solution to this, so is there anything that would hopefully help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Status 7 can be due to using an outdated recovery to flash KK ROMs. I suggest updating your recovery, wiping, and re-flashing.

>Early Performance Report, Benchmarks

Sony tried to reduce bezels size and improve their OmniBalance design. It means even if Xperia Z2 is tall But bigger display & Battery. also durability for IP58.

Samsung has great design on Galaxy S4. round phone is always expected from samsung. but Round phone with more bezel than previous flagship is not that cool! It s exactly unlike what Sony done.

For both phone; Durability of Phone force them to design.

In this side Sony did smarter job cause it uses metallic frame and thinner bezel.

BUT first you have to check performance of phone.

This time Sony have better plan for availability.

Xperia Z2 will come in Mid-March But Galaxy S5 in early April.

Note On Flagships Support

please write your opinion about these two flagships...

May be souce is wrong,
[Android General] rency_0722:
Samsung Galaxy S5 will be using Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset in MSM8974-AC variant, clocked at 2.5 GHz. Sony D6503 will be also using Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset in MSM8974-AB variant, clocked at 2.3 GHz.
[Android General] G1_enthusiast:
yes the source is wrong, the screen is not 1080p its at least 2k

anyone own a Sony will regret it...Sony will be bankrupt in the next 3 years guarantee it, crappy phones, crappy tv, crappy headphone. Its hard to believe Sony is a Japanese company.
[Android General] Xajel:
There's multiple versions of S5, Exynos and Snapdragon, FullHD and QHD, I guess only the exynos version will have QHD, or it might be a mix... Samsung doesn't have LTE modem compatible with everywhere that's why they're using Qualcomm in some cases ( S4 LTE used Qualcomm, while S4 3G used Exynos ).. the reason of why there's two screen resolution I guess is duo to low QHD production, Samsung can't sustain the required demand for these so they're going after FHD as a backup...

In most cases, we might get Exynos with QHD and Qualcomm with FullHD...

Sony's flagship will have 3300mAh according to latest rumor, it also has stereo speakers

Knox is not a counter, is a yes/no (0/1) option (and is posibble to be hardware lock --> "Once U go black, U never go back!")

And acctually, Why do U care about Knox garranty void? It`s a security system for entreprises, in a way that Blackberry was... (and the lack of option for reset is so US Defense Dept. to approve the use of the phones for the state security employees -- remember the problems when Obama doesn`t want to renounce to his Blackberry?)
[Android General] gadgetmilk:
I am underwhelmed by the Galaxy S5. For me it's the Xperia Z2 which takes the spot as the current king of Android smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S5 edges the Sony Xperia Z2 in screen density and processing speed but the Xperia Z2 is better in RAM, battery capacity and camera. The Galaxy S5's fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor do not make it a more compelling device than the Xperia Z2.
[Android General] uchihakurtz:
S5 is a huge disappointment to most people, we expected more from Samsung. I much prefer the Z2. I am super pissed at Samsung right now, the only thing I liked is the camera. Z2 wins MWC 2014.

Sent from my blazing fast Nexus 4
[Android General] Stecheru:
S5 and Z2 have the same density (dpi) per square inch. S5 had a slightly bigger screen (5.2 vs. 5.1) and so a smaller total density (424 ppi vs. 432 ppi).

So, is all about Krait 400 at 2.5 Ghz with 2GB ram (S5) vs. Krait 400 at 2.3 Ghz with 3GB ram (Z2).

And my opinion is, that we always can OC the CPU by 200 Mhz, but 1GB suplementary memory... we can`t upgrade.

Samsung can advertise it's ugly s5 all day and sell it but it will remain ugly
[Android General] frankgreimes:
Well this time Sony has beaten Samsung where it counts because like others have already mentioned, you can easily overclock a the GHZ but you can't add more RAM. So I take more RAM before slightly more mhz for a short period of time.

but the big but, the Z 2 still doesn't offer a removable battery and no physical homebutton :( and sadly with 5,2 inch it's just too big to figt in my pocket and for one handed operation. The Z 1 compact nailed it but again no removable battery, why aren't other companies learning from Samsung here ?! Looks like Blackberry and Samsung are the only two companies who get it.

Personally I still don't think, that his is it there has to be some secret S 5 Premium version with a 2560 x 1440 500pi display and an octacore or have we really hit the plateau in terms of performance ?

As of right now Z 2 > S 5 the extra 1 gig of RAM should come in very handy.
[Android General] :
it s ugly

u cannot ignore samsung that easy!

we don't anything about performance

and also don't know exactly about Exynos variant of GS5

Judging because of design is not technical it s more personal

S5 is ugly TOO UGLY but this my opinion maybe someone else like round phone and ...

sometimes durability force companies to produce ugly phone!
[Android General] Ozark_8125:
I'm dying laughing about the comments about an ugly phone.... and I don't disagree, but in the last two years, how much time has my S3 been outside of a case that covered it all up anyways?? Geesh people... are you really going to be without a case? I think I've dropped my phone at least once a week on the concrete and it would have been long gone without a case.
[Android General] Galactus:
I've had my HTC One for almost a year. Haven't dropped it once. Not all of us use cases. This is easily going to be worth over £500 in the UK, it however does not look like a £500 phone in terms of design at all

Now Xperia Display is One of the BEST display ever.

See Viewing Angle and color & ...

so in this part Samsung cannot say something lots about AMOLED display.

however nothing can compare to quality of AMOLED but this IPS display on Xperia Z2 is awesome.
