No I didn't :(

I was so pleased that the process had (initially) worked I thought I'd reboot into working recovery and back up the whole kaboodle, that's when I discovered the working recovery hadn't survived the rom install/update and from that point on the phone simply stalled after the sony logo :rolleyes:

I feel lucky I was able to recover the phone by flashing a kitkat .230 FTF with FlashTool.

I think I'll wait a day or two before I get itchy and try it all again :D

What zip did you both install? I will check again on my other Xperia Z

Best regards
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
The links were in my post a couple of pages back:

XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip

Xperia Z 4.4 230 NCB flashable v3 with SD fix.zip

I could not get back to recovery after finishing the process I outlined. Nor could I get back to recovery if I added the flashable version of the dual recovery zip with your ROM zip.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
If your installing v3 then why the installer aswell?

Do you also realise that link you posted is an installer not a flashable zip?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I have that v3 with SD fix on my phone now and can access cwm and twrp however I do not see the lights. That could be my phone or it could be recovery issue. I don't use the lights anyway. Install v3 with my instructions provided and try boot into recovery. Switch the phone on and it will vibrate then keep tapping any volume button untill recovery is seen. If your still having issues I will try to reinvent the issue your having on my phone.
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
The recovery installer (the first link above) was used first to allow installation of your ROM (the second link above). I added the flashable recover with your zip following instructions here. When that did not retain the recovery, I tried installing your zip without it (your description says that recovery was included and I thought there may have been a conflict). That did not retain recovery either.

I went through the whole process several times, finally deciding to include the flashable recovery zip. On reboot, I get the vibes and green light but I cannot enter recovery.

Added note: I can reboot to recovery via NDRutils, so recovery is there. I just cannot seem to access from power on.
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
OK, I have got it now:

"You could try to delete xzdr.prop from the xzdualrecovery folder and reboot to see if that kicks it into action..."

So all is as it should be - stock 4.4.2 ROM with root, sdfix and recovery. Thanks to everyone!
[Xperia Z General] fedevd:
Naaap, it will not flash the kernel (bad explanation, my bad), it will work in locked bootloader 'cus it was made for locked and unlocked BL.. Is just the xploit script so it will work even in his locked bootloader

Hi Zippy01, sorry for the delayed response, busy day, so first look at xda today.

Basically exactly the same as Mike Austin, v3 of the rom zip which initially booted into android kitkat, was then i decided to reboot, result - unable to access working recovery and boot sequence stalled after Sony logo.

I then went back to pc and tried to reinstall working recovery, result - as before.

I then followed advice from NUT "delete xzdr.prop from the xzdualrecovery folder and reboot to see if that kicks it into action..." but that made no difference for me.

Last action by me was to flash stock .230 via FlashTool, just to get phone working again.

I really appreciate your efforts and help :good:
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
So I flashtool installed 4.2.2 ftf with wipe data unticked and promptly lost my user data, DOH!

Then rooted using vroot

Then flashtool installed working recovery

Flashed zippy01 prerooted 4.4.2 from recovery

FlashTool installed 4.4.2 stripped

Rebooted and bingo!

strangely, after a few reboots and restoring apps, settings and user data I've lost working recovery from off, but still got it from NDR utils, so happy for now. Later I'll remove XZDR.prop and see if that restores working recovery whilst booting :)

Thanks everyone for your help

You can also try the roms by Rajeev with kernel included already.
[Xperia Z General] shahnaz:
Big Thanks [MENTION=3925180]timchew[/MENTION],...

will try now bro.

and will info for the result.

:highfive:
[Xperia Z General] timchew:
You're most welcome. You can try rom by niaboc with kernel and superuser zip all included and you can choose what you install via aroma installer. Remember to do a clean install.

Enjoy!
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I'm confused to the advice your giving. The stripped ftf is not just the kernel in fact it's everything apart from system as that's the zip.

All other roms ported this way are also the same.

Best regards
[Xperia Z General] timchew:
This rom doesn't include the stock kernel and hence you need to flash the stock kernel after flashing the rom or else phone won't start. Don't exclude anything and don't wipe anything and flash the ftf.

Roms by rajvee and niaboc have the kernel included. Hence, you can reboot after flashing the rom, and supersu zip for the case of rajvee's rom. Niaboc's rom has supersu included.

[Xperia Z General] Swilly:
Hiya,

I'm trying to get all the info to be able to get my wifes Xperia Z to 4.4.2 rooted.

From what I can understand, and I'm not a noob here but not my phone and only just started looking at what is needed (she hates the new 4.4.2 with SD card problem !!)

a) Flash stock 4.2.2 ftf using sony flashtool

b) Root using DoomLord Easy rooting toolkit v17

c) Install pre-rooted 4.4.2 off this link.

I presume from reading some bits on here, if I install the V3 with SD Card I dont need to install anything else ??

Second problem, I am having an issue getting the zip file out of the torrent file, it is always showing as damaged. Can anyone put a copy of dropbox for me ??

Thanks

I don't have any complaints about my tablet, it performs really well, also has an stunning screen. For 300$ (eBay) or 350$ (in your area) I think it's a great deal ;). Also, maybe it's worth getting on Wal-Mart there, because if it's what I understood, you will get it the time you buy, so no waiting for shipping or paying for shipping.

Hi, where can I get the middle frame for the nexus? It is exactly this which is the LCD display. I was looking on ebay, amazon, foreign sites but found nothing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
You need a digitizer. Don't try separating as it almost always never works.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
I'm not sure who or what you're answering to. The guy was asking about the frame holding the digitizer assembly, and you went off on some tangent. Best bet is to get a defective unit off ebay (preferably an 8gb, as they tend to go cheaper; or an assembly with a broken digitizer or lcd). And it's so NOT true that they cannot be separated. So long as you make yourself some primitive tools to hold the assembly in place, separating them is just a matter of doing it!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
I missed the word frame in his sentence. By the way there, the LCD is the digitizer. There is no and/or about it. Some try to separate the LED panel off the digitizer and it almost never works. As for separating the frame, using your thumbnail works fine. No primitive tools are needed, lol.

Hello everyone,

I know this question showed up a couple of times before, but I'm confused about the whole situation.

I own a Note3 International version bough from an official Samsung retailer in Poland.

Updated to 4.4 KitKat through official Samsung OTA update and a month later decided to go with a custom room. Installed TWRP and Omega 14 rom. Everything is fine, but I can't flash any modem.

Currently I'm running XXUENB1 modem and tried flashing the latest XXUEND6 from Omega repos and XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base, but with no sucess.

Tried flashing two times with Odin and than pulling the battery etc. The modem version stays the same. In download mode, it says write protection enabled, is it of any concern?

Is it possible to flash a modem on my Note 3?

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Under some conditions it seems that modems are hard to be written on phones with certain bootloaders and a custom recovery - but with stock recovery it seems to work better (and it also works with Mobile Odin Pro).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ea66:
Right, so I tried the Odin Pro and it says after booting to recovery "Memory lock in place - TriangleAway may fix this. Skipping flash."

So I downloaded TriangleAway, did its magic, but with no result.

Still can't flash because of memory lock.

What can I do next?

Should I flash a stock rom with never modem like this one?

Use triangle away. Even if the counter is zero, thew is a hidden counter that trips a write protect on the modem. After triangle away, it should work. Just be sure to follow the directions.

Anyway manged to flashed the modem from XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base which is around 60MB's and has modem and modem #2 partitions. Question is how can I flash the modems from omega repos which are only 8MB and have one partition only. When flashing with Odin Pro version doesn't change, although flash is a success.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
Are they modem.bin or the non-hlos files? Id really recommend doing modem flashes through desktop odin, especially if they're piece meal modems and not a full stock modem flash file.

Other than that I can't offer much assistance for non stock modems, but good luck in your endeavor, and glad I could point you in the right direction to at least get a stuck fladh to work. ?

If you still have a problem flashing the Modem, I used this 5 min. ago and it worked perfectly fine(used flashing instruction from x-note)

Download Odin3 v3.09 to your pc, download Modems from Omega(I used NC2) both GSM & LTE.

Put Odin and the Modems from Omega on PC Desktop.

Turn off your Cell Phone (power off normally). Take out your battery(wait 5 sec.) put it back in and boot in download mode(volume down+home+power) and than connect your phone to pc.

Open Odin and press AP and choose the GSM tar file from Omega.

Press start and wait for the phone to reboot.

Turn the phone off again and boot in download mode (same steps as before). Now look for the LTE tar file in AP and press start again.

You should now have your Modem Installed. Good luck mate

Hi all,

Having some issues with my z2 bluetooth dropping. Very strange.

I can connect my bluetooth on the z2 to any device without issue ( namely my 2013 Hilux), however, after 40s, my bluetooth will drop, and reconnect withing about 2-3 seconds, and start the cycle again, on and on forever. I am not sure why it does this? It happens when i just leave it connected and do nothing with it, or when i play music too.

The interesting thing is, if i receive a call, i will be able to speak with someone for the first 40s, then the bluetooth will disconnect and reconnect (all in about 2-3) seconds, and after that i will not experience any more bluetooth drops for the entirety of my journey, either through leaving it there connected not doing anything or playing music. Very strange.

Ive tried turning, stamina off, wifi off, nfc off, etc but nothing seems to change it.

Does anyone have any insight on this? Its like the bluetooth on the z2 is requesting something from my other devices, and when it doesnt receive it, shuts off, then as my bluetooth is on and recognizes my paired device is nearby, reconnects straight away. If i get a call as ive mentioned, its like whatever the z2 is looking for it just ignores it and keeps the connection regardless.
