Because everytime I flash a rom, everytime I'm doing a call the screen goes black and can't do anything, I flashed 3 roms (AOSP, MIUI and AOSB) y the three of them gave me the same problems. I heard that I needed to update the Bootloader but I want to be 100% sure before doing it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you edit the updater script in the custom ROMs to get them to install? If you didn't have to edit the scripts and the ROM installed, your bootloader supports the ROM.

Did this happen when you were on stock a ROM? I have tried Validus and Cyanfox and never has this issue. I was using the 4.1.2 bootloader with each ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_guy:
Hello

I was wondering which is the natural position of receiving calls on the XDA Exec.

is it talking on the phone into the screen side of the phone or talking into the phone with the phone shut?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JasperJanssen:
It's got a microphone in the base part which is under the bottom part when it's closed with screen up, and it's got two speakers, whichever one is outside and up with the screen closed is used. So in other words, If you hold it with screen visible but lid closed (standard portrait pda mode), you hold the screen to your head right side up, and if the screen is closed, you use the same position but without accidentally activating ten dozen functions from your ear touching the screen..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_guy:
thanks for the reply

so it has got 2 speakers

the first one below the screen and the second one on the ther side of the screen

and has got one microphone, which is on the other side of the screen.

does that not mean that the natural position to talk is with the phone closed?

"nd if the screen is closed, you use the same position but without accidentally activating ten dozen functions from your ear touching the screen"

how can one activate the dozen functions if the screen is closed?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BlackICE:
it does not matter if the screen is flipped around (pda or clamshell mode) or not. In both modes, you use the device in same way.

look at some photos of the universal, then you will understand. the micro is placed on the base, so it is always at the bottom side of the device. the flipable top part has a loudspeaker at the screen side and a loudspeaker on the other side. so you always have one loudspeaker at same place, where your ear will rest when talking.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_guy:
thanks for the reply

i understand now that irrespective of using clamsheel or pda mode, the voice quality remains the same

Requirements:

Flashtool 0.9.13 by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]

XZDualRecovery 2.7.76 BETA or newer.

Current

rooted

FW version: 10.4.B.0.569, Maybe others too, let me know!.

Special features:

SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!

XZDualRecovery 2.7.86 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;

init.d support (read how to enable)

For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!

In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.

If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!

How to update to 10.4.1.B.0.101:

Files:

For C6503: Download C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 823MB) and C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf (17MB)

Save them somewhere you remember;

Put 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;

Put 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;

Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);

Flash 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' in TWRP;

NOTE:

do not reboot

but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;

Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;

Reboot to system.

The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.

Enjoy! :laugh:

Known XZDualRecovery Issues:

Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.

How to report errors:

Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:

Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.

Root it using any means you are familiar with.

Install XZDualRecovery;

Update to 10.4.B.0.569;

Then try to update again using TWRP.

If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.

NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.

Thank you :)

Tips and Tricks

Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!

NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.

NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.

Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)

Unlock your bootloader

Restore backup without TA

Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA

Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.

Done :good:

Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want :D

How to enable init.d support:

Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.

NOTE: For this guide ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.

Done :)

[Sony Xperia ZL] huythach83:

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I can confirm that Xposed Framwork (Xperia Test) won't work with this fw 101. After Install/Update and reboot, you got bootloop. Must go into TWRP to install Xposed-disabler.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
I'm using xposed v2.4.1 with .101 work just fine.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheetahlm:
Edit : Sorry, already solved the problem. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
How did you fix it?
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheetahlm:
I am not sure... Just only restart the flashtool. Also after flashing the ROM dan Off (not reboot), I just On my C6502, complete the setup, and reconnect to the flashtool in flashmode. That's all friend.

I have a few problems with the recovery and root. But I could fix the recovery.

This is what I did:

- Updated a brand new Xperia ZL (C6503) to stock 10.3.1.A.2.67 via official Sony Update Center.

- getting Root

- getting dual recovery

>> All worked fine

Then I updated to 10.4.B.0.569 [Root & XZDualRecovery] from your former release.

- I got the C6503 versions of all the files

- In recovery: Flash the files

- In Flashmode: Flashed the file

>> Root & Recovery worked fine

Then I updated to 10.4.1.B.0.101 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB] from this threads release:

- Got the files

- Flashed file in recovery

- Flashed file in flashmode

>> Phone boots fine but can't go to recovery mode via power button and volume button

- Tried Root checker app --> App does not tell you any result.

- Tried Rom Manager app --> App does detect dual recovery, but simply hangs when I click "Boot into recovery mode".

- Very strange: I can use Antutu CPU Master (Free) and regulate the CPU speed of my phone. If I remember correctly, this actually needs root?

>> I then did reinstall Recovery via a batch file which was released for 10.3.1.A.2.67

- This made recovery working again. Now I could access recovery again.

>> I tried rooting my phone with a batch file, but it did not do anything sadly

- Rom Manager and Root checker app still don't work but Antutu Cpu Master still works... strange ehh?

I'm somehow half rooted with recovery working right now :s

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Edit:

Oh and there is no Superuser app or SuperSU ... at least I can't find it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
[MENTION=1850533]mercuriussan[/MENTION] if your recovery is working again, flash the update zip by Chainfire to update to the latest.

[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Hello NUT.

Why does this method require a rooted fw while the previous update tot .569 did not?

I'm on .101 not rooted..Updated with PC companion from 2.67 after I softbricked trying to get OTA to work. Apparently it's not possible to OTA from 2.67 anymore when you are rooted.

Achieving root now with locked bootloader is pretty complicated.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
.569 required root from .67 firmware ..

its actually not that hard

u just need to flash the zip ....flash kernel via flashtool and ur done :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
I don't want to unlock bootloader :crying:

I can't flash the zip because I'm not rooted so can't get dualrecovery.

I would need to flash 2.67, flash .423 kernel, root using doomlord v18, flash .2.67 kernel, install dualrecovery, follow all steps by NUT to get .569 and then follow again all steps to update to .101. Then restore all my data and re-setup my phone.

Or do you have a easier solution?
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4192818]DoubleYouPee[/MENTION] unless you have a ta backup made at some time back, no... :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Nope.

Before, I would just use OTA from previous firmware.. and it would update and retain root.

No need for any flashing etc.

This time, apparently they added detection for root into the OTA checker.

Do you think it's likely there will even be an easy root for 4.3/4.4?

I can wait some more but if it's not coming I might as well get root right now - the hard way.

Ads and all the unnecessary apps are already driving me crazy.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4192818]DoubleYouPee[/MENTION] if a rootkit dev is sitting on an undiscovered exploit, then yes, but probably not before the new flagship device for 2014 has been released... And that's assuming there is any exploit anyone is sitting on...

sadly so far there has been no easy method .. and it has been a while since 4.3 came out now ..
