Z2 with unlocked bootloader

Hey guys, I couldn't find any post that handles my question, but if I've missed anything, please excuse me ;)

So here's my problem:

When I first got my Z2, I was so excited that I instantly rooted it...as you may know, I had to unlock the bootloader for this and lost all my drm keys in due course (shame on me for not realizing it in time).

Now, I installed the ported app on my Z2, in the hope it would restore the functionality of X-Reality. I have to admit that I can't see any difference to before, but I don't know if X-Reality is not working or if I'm just too blind to recognize.

Is there a way to check if X-Reality is working, except the comparsion of two images taken with and without the option? Or did anybody else tried to install the ported app on an unlocked Z2 before and can tell me something about it?

Any help or hints are appreciated ;)

Thanks in advance...Sonic

[MENTION=1254068]Sonicsilver[/MENTION] won't work on unlocked bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] iHeymanth:
Try to manually replace all the files and set permissions n reboot and check. If still not working plz relock ur bootloader and check its working or not...

To check its working or not, screenshot the image with XR enabled and disabled.now disable XR and check the diff of 2 screenshots u took.

As sony removed the restriction of losing BE/BE2/XR for ? BL from KK update u dont have to worry abt it. Just be patience :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] PunchUp:
Didn't know the restrictions have been removed. Thanks for the update :good:

According to SONY's website, it's impossible to relock the bootloader:

Pro-tip: it would help your credibility if you wrote like an educated person. "plz" and "ur" make me trust your software as much as my surgeon saying "were gonna hafta amputate, lol" would make me trust him.
[Sony Cross-Device General] leongzxc:
why not? cant i just relock it with flashtool and then flash a 4.2.2 rom + restore the TA partition, and then only upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4.2 depending which rom i like to use? hmmm..
[Sony Cross-Device General] iHeymanth:
he is still a NOOB :D

im sorry sir. whatever it is impossible, XDA makes it possible and devs provided how to relock my Xperia V BL and hence every XV user can unlock it and relock it. good luck :D

Do i need to root to use this? Or just install .APK and adjust the permissions in build.prop

You need root to edit any system file (which includes build.prop)

Doesn't work on the Z2 with .402 FW

Sad to report that this doesn't work on the Xperia Z2 unlocked & rooted with the 17.1.1.A.0.402 firmware. I took screenshots before and after and the image is exactly the same whether X-reality is enabled or disabled. (The setting was there without having to edit build.prop).
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rajeev:
I think u lost the X Reality ( BE2 ) Function When U Unlock Ur Bootloader.. And u permanently Lost It Because U Don't Have The TA Backup. I know Z2 don't hav root method for Locked Bootloader..

So i think u will never ever get X Reality Back.. Atleast From My Knowledge...

Hello, I tried to use this mode but I'm in a odex stock rom and now always when i reboot phone start to actualize there is anyway to stop this?without installing other rom?
[Sony Cross-Device General] nreuge:
Actually, there is a patch made by monx and auras76 to recover X-Reality on .402 with unlocked bootloader. But they no longer share it (who know why?...). I'm lucky to have it.

Using monx or auras76 custom roms, you will have working X-Reality.

Hi

Just moved onto the Mini S for the obvious size reason, and will be putting my Exec onto eBay shortly. Before I do however I would like to give my chums on here an opportunity to buy it from me.

It is 8 months old and in perfect condition. I still have the box and all the bits. Ummmm....what else do you want to know??!! Oh there is also a 1Gb SD card with it (Sandisk). It has been very well looked after, although there is one of those little rubber things (aerial??) missing.....no idea how that went.

Offers over £200 please. No shipping to Nigeria etc. My eBay name is hpjarvis888 should you wish to check out my selling credentials. Also I live in Chester should someone wish to collect it from me directly. No swops thanks.

Anyway just reply here or PM me.

Cheers

Anyway it's merely priced upon what I've seen on ebay.

You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF

Has anyone found a way to get rid of the At&t logo off of the back of the phone?

I believe it's etched in the metal, so you can't remove it. There was a person in the VZW forums that asked the same question, and they concluded that you're stuck with the godaweful logos, lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I don't mind ATT's branding on their new phones. Just the small ATT logo isn't too intrusive. Of course I would prefer the no branding at all that Sprint is doing on all their phones and Tmobile is doing on some of their phones, but if it has to be there I would take ATT's approach to device branding any day over Verizon's terrible branding. They plaster their giant logo + 4G LTE like that is a feature anymore on every phone.

Hi Guys,

I am new here and not yet allowed to post in all forums and threads.

I got a a Chinese galaxy s4 i9500 and first wanted to install cynogen mod which is not officially supported for my device. But since I used to have a XIAOMI 2A, I love that GUI.

So my QUESTION: Is there an actual MIUI Version for my device (chinese i9500 WCDMA) and how do I install it. Will any of the sensors, like the IR-Sensor be affected, I mean will I still be able to use it ?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

I have quite a big of a problem here. I wanted to install a custom rom for my Galaxy Core, so I installed CWM via Odin and when it installed I couldn't get back to the main part of the phone: android. I have another problem,

I can't connect my phone to Odin anymore

, maybe someone knows how to fix this. I do have a micro-SD card (32gb) so maybe I can do something with that.

I really appreciate your help,

This Is A JellyBean 4.2.2 ROM

This ROM is a 4.2.2 JellyBean ROM.

The ROM is claiming to be 4.4.2 Kitkat check this but actually it is a JellyBean ROM.

I claim this because -

1) System Apps(eg. Phone, Settings, etc.) have Version 4.2.2

You can check this by viewing app info of system app. The version is clearly 4.2.w

2)You cannot install apps that are compatible with only 4.4.2

Do check this by downloading and install such app. You will get error.

3) There are many other things that suggests that it is 4.2.2

However overall the ROM is superb with minor bugs which can be eliminated by newer releases.:good:

Hope that the developer Changes the name and version of this ROM.
[Android General] greatpapa:
yes this is just jellybean with Different systemui....
[Android General] CCD:

Is it possible to add?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If you are looking for easy, you're out of luck. Adding this directly into the rom would require knowledge in decompiling / compiling apps, smali code editing, as well as being rooted as just the beginning steps. Knowing how to load the original firmware / software from the manufacturer in case it doesn't work and gets you stuck in a bootloop is almost certainly something you should be able to do before you even think of attempting. Either way, you'll need to root. Only other way to reboot the phone is via terminal and adb commands.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sankha1:
& why android does not provide this option by default?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You'd have to find a dev that is familiar with your phone, or at least Karbonn software. They don't sell these phones in the US, so I've absolutely no experience with them. There are general guidelines for doing stuff like this, but it's very specific to your firmware as well, especially if Karbonn has a special UI that needs it's own kind of app decompiler or rules to decompile like HTC Sense software or MIUI. It's gonna be 100x easier and faster to just root it and reboot with an app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Have you tried something like holding the power and volume up or volume down buttons (at the same time) for several seconds?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Android has that option. You would have to ask Karbonn why they were too lazy to enable or add the code. Many other Android phones have this standard including most popular Samsung, HTC, LG, and Sony phones, just to name a few.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Chauhan:
you can also add via lidroid toggles but you have to decompile and compile systemui and framework
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sankha1:
