On this page you can find the links and explanations on how to do everything you need to do. The update.app file can be downloaded from the stock rom sections, you have links for international P6-U06 like B111 up to B132, they are zip archives containig the dload folder in wich is the update.app file just extract it from the zip and put it on your sd card as it is(folder dload/update.app)

I'm not sure, but I think i'm on to something now.

Thank you very much :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gussitc:
I'm trying to use the B111, but it says

This phone is secureboot phone.

This phone is LOCK state.

I thought it updated and i left it for 12 houres. When i came nothing had happened.

How do i fix this?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
Did you put the folder dload with update.app file in it on the card or you just copied the zip file directly?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gussitc:
I put the dload folder with uptdate.app directly on the sd card.

I bought a couple of these from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151247910444?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The USB plug end is huge, and the magnet is very weak. It's OK if you leave it flat on the desk, but picking the phone up means it's more than likely going to fall off.

I'd be wary of this kind if you're thinking of getting one.

I'd like one with a very strong magnet so that I can plug it into a USB battery pack and leave it in my pocket without wondering whether the magnet connector has fallen off.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Roland0180:
I also bought such a cable. Mine is actually pretty good so far. Magnet power is good enough and the overall cable is just as good as a standard Sony cable. And only 3 euros incl. shipping.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Phukkitt:
I don't think you will have any luck finding one like that, as the connector was never designed to be used as a stand alone cable, it was always meant to be inside a charging stand/dock. Even if the magnet is very strong when pulling straight out from the connector (like being able to lift the phone with it) it will still come off super easy if pulled at an angle.

Maybe you could buy a cheap dock, then cut some in it so that all that is left will be like a clamp that goes around the edge of the phone and holds the cable steady? Or maybe some cheap case where you can glue tha connector to the case and only use it when charging?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] pathaniya:
Are they no official magnetic charger available? Isn't anyone here using?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AlanJC:
I That's given me an idea, perhaps these cables with some Sugru so that it aligns to the edge of the handset might do the trick!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] kickling:
Yup, I complained about the weakness of the magnet and got my money back from the eBay seller
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Phukkitt:
The only official magnetic charger is the DK32 charging dock. The cables that most people buy are the same cables that is inside the dock, but it's impossible to know whether they are original parts or just copies since Sony doesn't officially sell that cable as a separate unit. The ones that sellers claim to be originals could very well only be meant as replacement parts or a simple way for phone repair shops to charge the phones.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] zxqw:
The magnet is weak and actually takes some effort to get it to align, I was hoping that it would suck itself in like a MagSafe connector does. It also charges at about 70% the speed of the original USB charging cable even when connected to the same ipad wallwart.

I'm unimpressed with my knock-off cable but for the price, I can accept the mediocre quality.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] jiayit:
Well I paid 15 for mine (bought from a retailer) and they don't do refunds.

Lesson learnt...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Iruwen:
What do you expect from such a small magnet? Imo it's quite strong already. I got this cable, which doesn't have a stronger magnet but aligns better, and it's cheap - I'm from Germany though: http://www.ebay.de/itm/-/291037184668

I also have the one the op has, with that one the phone started charging but it was so slow that it never finished. Modifiying the plastic and pins didn't help.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
Not sure if it fits here, as my cable was not bought through ebay...

I got the OEM Magnetic Charging USB Cable for Sony Xperia Smartphone Black with Sony logo on the magnetic plug and it doesn't look too good: cheap to the looks and touch. The cable is thinner and feels flimsy compared to the USB charging cable that came stock with the phone. The magnet holds so-so but won't do too well when grabbing the phone, answering a call or whatever. The USB plug is huge, feels and looks cheap as well and can't be fully inserted into the charger; a bit of the metal part will stick out, that is.

I didn't do a full charge so far, so, can't commend on that part. I didn't measure the time but from what it felt like, the magnetic cable charges pretty fast - I'd say about the same rate as the stock micro USB cable (both with stock wall socket charger). But pay attention if you move the phone; the magnetic plug comes off really easy and might cause some bad surprise the next morning (the moment you wake up and notice your phone died on you and didn't wake you up ... about 2 hours ago, which was about an hour before you should've left to go to work and so on).

Now, if I'm not mistaken, witrigs says somewhere on their site that there would be huge difference between the Original OEM :angel: cable and the cheaper 3rd party ones the also offer. Honestly, I can't imagine the really cheap ones are much worse (as far as look & feel and usability goes).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] harryw66:
I bought two of the following a few weeks back (for work and home) and overall am quite happy. The magnet is reasonably strong - I can lift the phone to check an email etc without it falling off - not sure about a phone call with it attached though...

cant post link - got it from dx-box website item SKU-8894

I have just ordered a 3rd cable for the car - after buying a case which has a cutout for the magnetic port but NOT for the microusb port:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
What case might that be? I am looking for a case with almost no cut-outs myself (camera/flash, magnetic charging port, headphone jack).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] harryw66:

I bought a few of this original Sony magnetic charger cables for my Z1c the last months.

http://dx-box.com/brand-new-magnetic-usb-charging-cable-adapter-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact.html

It fits perfect and there are no problems while charging.

Regards, Chris
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Xaeons:
Looks like you both ordered from the same site.Can you both attest to the magnet's ability to stick to the phone?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] dhchris:
The magnetic ability is okay, not very strong but if you let the phone on your desk, it´s no problem.

I don´t know if a stronger magnet can damage the phone.

I placed a cable of this in my car-holder and fixed it with a little point of glue and there´s no problem with vibrations while driving.

And also good at this cable:

You can not reverse polarities!

I hope i could help you.

Regards, Chris
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Xaeons:
I see, thanks!

On another note:

Hasn't anyone bought from Witrigs or is the shipping too far?

EDIT: Ok, witrigs' estimated shipping time is ridiculously long (for someone like me in south east asia) dx-box is better
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
I did. But I am in Europe, so, it doesn't say anything about shipping within Asia.

However, for my order, delivery took about 2 weeks, which is pretty fast compared to most of my previous orders from China (usually 3 to 4 weeks without the customs interfering).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Xaeons:
I may order a magnetic charging cable from witrigs along with a glass back replacement part so I'd get more out of the shipping fee and shipping time.

There are options for shipping via different countries with different shipping costs (at the bottom upon checkout)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
I thought witrigs was shipping for free anyway ... there may be options that cost extra but I prefer China or Hong Kong post or whatever the free option is, because it usually means no hassle with customs here while - just to name examples - UPS and EMS shipping often do
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] mindyabiznis:
Has anyone thought about the Magnector X adapter for your phones, they do an adapter so you can plug any micro usb cable into it:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MagNector...al_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item338ff25701

and also just a standard usb cable:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnector...al_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item4ad676cb92

EVERY review that I've read has said that its fantastic and more than worth the asking price of £10-15, most reviews said they decided to buy another for the car/office etc after seeing the quality first hand. - that was for the micro usb adapter.

I'm thinking I'll get one as I already have a 10 ft. micro usb cable that I would like to continue using :fingers-crossed:

If anyone already has one of these can you tell me what you think of it and if its worth getting one of these adapters over the £3 "oem" ones on ebay.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
I bought that and should be getting it in tomorrow.

But all magnetic chargers I've seen are oriented on the side. Are there ANY that plug into perpendicular to the side of the phone? Aside from a DIY one, most of these adapters/cables seem like they would be incompatible with a case... I just resorted to buying skinomi's full body skin so I can still have some kind of protection on the sides of the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] mindyabiznis:
Awesome thanks for letting us know you've ordered it, i haven't got round to ordering mine yet (other financial priorities)

Could you post up a review of quality and how well it charges your phone/stays attached to it when you've received it and used it please :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Short review as I only needed to charge it twice thus far... It's decent quality. The magnet is a little stronger on the "top", or where the logo is on the adapter than the bottom, so when you set it down then your hand may brush against it and lose connection. Probably won't be able to use this with a case, though I will be trying a skinomi film on it anyway.

Nothing terribly notable on the charging speed, as I only just got the Z1c so I haven't really charged it much (and only charge it overnight anyway).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
I've been using the Magtron Magnector X cable (not the adapter) for quite some time now.

What is good:

As for looks, touch&feel and use, It is of much better quality than the ones marked "SONY" that you can buy for ~10 $US from china (witrigs for instance).

Together with the shape of the housing, the magnet does a much better job at keeping the plug connected to the phone. I'd say, the magnet itself might also be a bit stronger than on the "SONY".

The plastic housing of the magnetic plug is solid and won't catch dirt between the housing and the magnet (unlike the "SONY" ones where the housing is soft and sometimes leaves a gap).

What is not:

There is a downside to the shaped magnet plug - the plug housing doesn't fit perfectly to the naked phone, but only leaves too small of a gap for the most cases to fit in. So, some trimming on the case may be required - either cut a bigger hole or make the case really really thin where the plug housing touches

The cable, while perhaps a bit longer than the "SONY" (just guessing from looking at both), is still very short - too short (at least for my taste ... I sometimes read on my phone before sleeping, which is usually also the time my phone charges and there is not always a wall socket or USB port within the range of less than 1 meter)

The magnet plug doesn't just pop onto the phone. I know, this is due to the bad design of the interface itself, but this very product - sometimes - does take, say, half a second more to securely connect (for me, that is; your's might pop better, who knows...).

Being in Europe, I paid about 15 € for a cable shipped, which is quite a bite more than 10 $US. But then again, the cable feels much much better than the china "SONY" ones (which may even be real, dunno). If you asked me - get this one and don't buy the cheaper "SONY". I'd even buy another one, if they only made it a longer.

MicroUSB To Magnetic Connector Adapter

Just received this in the post today, purchased from here http://www.clove.co.uk/microusb-to-magnetic-connector-adapter

Seems to do the job OK, not measured the charge time against percentage yet, but will update the post when I have some more info. Initial views are the magnet is of good strength, does not fall of easily, even took a call with it in place! The only issue was with the case (Roxfit black bumper and clear back) as I had to extend the existing hole for the charger by 1mm either end.

All in, happy with the purchase.:good:

Edit: Just as a quick guide I left the phone on charge for the last 70 minutes and it increased the battery by 30%, so a quick calculation 1%=2.3minutes , so going of that a full charge would be 2.3 * 100 = 230 minutes, or just short of 4 hours. Not sure what power the phone would need to draw for maximum effectiveness for charging but for this purpose it was on a charger with a rated output of 1A.

Since there seems to be some problems with TCPMP on the tytn, and I'm new to the pda phone business and don't want to mess around too much with my new phone just yet, I've decided to stick with windows media player for now when it comes to video.

So I've been trying movie maker and windows media encoder and some other software to convert some sitcom episodes into 320x240 wmv format just to try out the playback on the tytn, but the video has so far turned out a little bit choppy on the tytn in all my attempts, like every few seconds the image stutters a bit.

Is this just the the way it should be or is it possible to get totally smooth video playback with wmp on the tytn?

If anyone has any tips to share on how to encode video for the tytn for the best result, what software and settings to use etc, it would be greatly appreciated.

Since then, my phone is unable to boot up and is always stuck at the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT I9300". I have tried several methods such as flashing CWM Recovery and factory wipe everything and then installing custom roms but didn't work, even with repeated wiping and rebooting.

Hello All,

I have a new Xperia Z and have rooted it. Locked bootloader.

The trouble is that everything wants to go on the internal storage (which only has like 9gb left).

Nothing seems to install tot he external SD card. No option in the APPS section to move it either.

I tried using some Move2SD apps, but either they say there isn't an external storage or it's emulated.

So what can I do? I can't even download a small file currently because now my phone keeps saying that there

isn't sufficient space available. Which just isn't possible. I have like 25gb on the SD card and 9gp on the

cell internal. Something isn't quite working right I think.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spongeyperson:
Hey, Im kinda new to Galaxy devices and i was wondering, how does this usually go based on what has happened in the past for Galaxy Devices, because coming from a Nexus (I know why would i ever leave a nexus) i really didn't think anything of the OTA update because on a Nexus, it really doesn't matter if you update or not, but will there ever be some sort of Downgrade from the NC5 Kitkat update? Will i ever be able to get Root? or will i be stuck with this so called safe strap which makes no sense to me. Im sorry im seeming like a noob, but all this extra stuff to aquire root is new to me. Do i wait for some sorta exploit? Do I try a Downgrade method? or could i possibly return my device for another one? Cuz its brand-new and its not rooted at all and it has warranty... What are my options because i'm totally lost admist the millions of posts. All i need is root and ability to get rid of these bloatware apps (and twrp would be nice, but i'm fine with stock rooted & xposed)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
It is possible to do a partial downgrade, root, and return to Kitkat with root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

If you're really fine with TouchWiz then that may be all you want.

Personally, I'd return it though. If you ever want AOSP or updates before Verizon decides to release them, you'll need a different phone. You can get an MDK (pretty much unlocked, loki exploit) or Developer Edition (unlocked) S4 on Swappa for $300-$335.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spongeyperson:
Well i bought my phone under contract and i'm kinda stuck with it in their system. Do you think verizon would replace it with a brand-new replacement with MDK bootloader on it? Because when i originally got the device a few weeks ago, it unfortunately had MDK bootloader on it, but i was stupid and i updated. I have no money to replace it so i don't know what i could do. If i did sell the one thats setup thru my contract, wouldn't that give it a bad esn? Also, i am fine with touchwiz as long as i can have xposed and root to change what i don't like, and if i really wanted to install a custom rom, i can use my N7 for that. The biggest problem i probably would have though is waiting for verizon updates. Because i know that sucks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
If you just bought it, I think you have 14 days to return and cancel the contract. I don't think the Verizon S4 is worth a 2 year contract at all - if you're content with a locked one, you can easily get one for around $250 (e.g. this one that just sold) in good/great condition.

You could get an S5 for $99, sell it on Swappa for $500 - $10 Swappa Fee, -$15 Paypal Fee, -$15 Shipping.

So 500 in, 140 out. About $360 net profit. (Note this is just an estimate.)

Then buy a locked S4 on Swappa for $250 and still have over $100 profit. Or an MDK/Dev one and a bit less profit.

Do note that you have to be careful about where you buy a contract phone, many places will sneak in their own secondary contract with its own ETF if you change anything within x months. Bestbuy doesn't have any nonsense like that. Verizon directly also doesn't, of course.

However, that does take a bit of effort so it's definitely not as simple as just buying at Verizon. Swappa is pretty nice about making buying and selling safely easy though.

No, many people buy under contract and then sell when new phones are released (e.g. S5, M8) if they're happy with their current phone and just want to make a bit of money off the contract for service they'd use anyways. The phone would only become bad ESN if you reported it lost/stolen. (Also maybe if you later defaulted on the contract, but I'm not sure on that.)

Are you sure it was MDK? More likely to be MI1 or MK2. I suppose it would be possible, but probably very unlikely.

Thanks to Surge1223 and k1mu, you can have root even on the newest OTA (so far). Verizon updates do suck though - it looks pretty clear that they held back the S4's kitkat update for a long time just so that they could advertise the S5 as having newer software.
