Lol. Okay thanks... I guess i was always gonna backup anyways... No harm in that. So wait... BUT! In custom recovery, wipe data will ONLY wipe phone's data and not internal sd. I did hear they were merged, but still getting used to the whole Sony style. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Haha Thanks for that.

So Xreality does not work for you ? Which Rom are you on ? Was it working when you were on Ul Bl and on the stock rom?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
It stopped working when i updated to the .402 firmware even with a locked bootloader

It still wasnt working after a bootloader a unlock however it started working when i flashed 55 and 69 firmware even on unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z2 General] coolmingli:
Are you on Stock ROM? What firmware version? Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] xAjCx:
If you relock it, you don't get the DRM keys back UNLESS you saved the TA but to do so you need to be rooted on a locked bootloader so yeah.. it would/should say the same thing as the unlocked bootloader :(
[Xperia Z2 General] rajivshahi:
I'm still waiting for my Z2 . But cant wee just back up TA Partion from recovery mode using AROMA Filemanager + TERMINAL :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:
You can't have recovery without rooting the phone first. Z2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition like late Samsung devices. So recovery is part of the kernel and you can't install a custom kernel without unlocking the bootloader. Unless some one find an root exploit and get adb write permission to root folder
[Xperia Z2 General] kabauterman:
So guys, can someone tell me if the following things still work on a unlocked BL:

- 4K Video Recording

- Timeshift Video

- at all, Camera features, Intelligent Auto, HDR

- Noise Cancelation Headset

- ClearAudio / xLOUD

- Xreality

And all the other Sony related non Android-Stock stuff :)

So all you loose is Video Unlimited?

And what is Sony Point for warrenty with unlocked BL? I know HTC even says hardware is still under warranty if you don't kill it with software.

Google never mind over bootloader unlocking.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Not even vid unlimited

The device can be bricked from bootloader unlocking hence why unlocking your bootloader if void when you do it

It saves sony money and sony isnt the richest OEM to my knowlage or maybe they are lazy
[Xperia Z2 General] iArvee:
Just to clarify things (new to the whole rooting scene and a bit interested) if the bootloader is unlocked, you can go ahead and root it, right?

Upon checking my phone, it says "Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes" that means it's already unlocked, right? Thanks!

[Xperia Z2 General] kabauterman:
Same thing here.. only thing left I care about is the warranty..

with a TA Backup you are able to bring your Phone back to full Stock..
[Xperia Z2 General] in_finity:
"Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes" just means that you are potentially able to unlock your bootloader. Your BL is only unlocked, if you did the unlocking process -- there are no Z2s that ship with an unlocked BL factory default.

And yes, after you unlock the BL, you can flash a custom recovery and then root your phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] istux:
"Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" means it's still locked and you can unlock it.

"Bootloader unlocked: Yes" means it's already unlocked.
[Xperia Z2 General] nos1609:
Guys, can you also check the FullHD & 4K video output by MHL and Miracast aka Screen Mirroring after unlocking the bootloader. Cause I'm using these features and do not want to loose them. Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] Carphedon:
MHL working fine up to 4K with IM750 cable (tried different outputs, you can configure output from service menu after plugging in MHL cable) Only services which stream or play DRM content like video on demand stop working. Not really a problem because you should not want DRM enabled content anyway.
[Xperia Z2 General] goldblock:
What would happen if I tried to unlock an unlockable bootloader? Bootloader unlock allowed: No.

Just curious :confused:

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
It would not unlock :p.
[Xperia Z2 General] goldblock:
LOL :laugh: would it brick? or just not do anything?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] Nano23:
Sad...mine its no go :(
[Xperia Z2 General] in_finity:
I guess the unlocking process simply would not start, instead you would get some kind of error message, telling you that you are not eligible to unlock the BL.

But that's just a guess, haven't seen it myself. Nevertheless, I think it is fairly implausible that you could brick your phone by trying it...
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
If my Z2 was not unlockable, i would sell it and buy an unlockable one. Just saying... Unlocked my own BL yesterday. Rooted also. Now it's time to explore! :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.R™:

[Xperia Z2 General] nos1609:

[Xperia Z2 General] favod:
probably a stupid question but......

hi i have checked my bootloader and it says 'bootloader unlock allowed:no' :mad: what i was wondering is other than selling the handset and getting a new one is there a way past this so i can install clockwork mod ? im finding the phone a little on the quiet side and want to flash something i found to make it so the phone uses both speaks for ringtones etc

i have been able to root the handset but before i try and unlock the bootloader and find myself running into a brick wall with it i wondered if anyone knows some sort of work around or if im completely screwed lol

[Xperia Z2 General] freekzak:
X Reality on/off gives the same results ! :(

I am on unlocked BL on a z2 with 17.1.A.2.69 to test the X Reality. When X Reality is enabled I take a photo or screenshot , again when is disabled , still ... I can't see differences between the photos or screenshots. I remember the quality of the photos before I unlock the BL was very good even when I used zoom in 3-4 levels. The photos I take now do not have the same quality but of course are decent enough. If anybody can say that X Reality is working properly please tell also the version of the firmware. I AM TALKING ABOUT Z2 (D6503) and NOT OTHER MODELS. Oh and by the way I am on both mac and windows systems and I can manage things on a mac properly. If anybody needs help with Yosemite the are tricks who can fix known problems , so let me know.

Yesterday i compared of my Z2 with bootloader unlock & new z2 bootloader lock, Camera quality is better than of mine. In Album, photo quality is better than my z2 & X-Reality is good to working. My unlock z2 is not working that of point. So, i think DRM key is depend on those point.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aldana:
LS,

Last week I had a Samsung Expert @ Best Buy to upgrade my I-747 to Android 4.3. The phone is working perfect since then, even the battery drain is NOT an issue, in fact I noticed that battery last longer now. Even the good performance so far, I have 2 issues:

Each time my S3 connects to wifi, I get a notification of 2 particular files DOWNLOAD COMPLETE however these PDF files were donwloaded months ago. I clear the notification area, but when I switch from 4G to wifi or visa versa, I get the notifications back.

I'm unable to activate hotspot

Any ideas how to solve this...?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Try clearing the cache of download manager.....that usually fixes those problems.....as for the WiFi thing you may need to be rooted and use a third party hotspot app
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aldana:
[MENTION=614832]CrazyMonkey[/MENTION]: Clearing the Download Manager helped solve the issue; I didn't think about that :cyclops: :good:

As for the hotspot, the stock "Tethering and portable hotspot" never worked, so I downloaded a widget from Sharp Communications (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sharp_eu.ste.wifihotspot) and hotspot worked with no problem.

Since the upgrade to 4.3, when I turn on the widget, I get the same error as the stock is giving me "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM".

If you decide to flash the phone, be careful. The rule is, if it's not broke, don't try to fix it :)

However, in case you still decide to go for it :

Watch out when you're using SP Flash on a recent model, it might (almost) brick your phone.

In addition to the thread mentioned above, also read this http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/help/p780-bricked-flashing-wrong-rom-doesnt-t2749683

This phone is quite nice, and flashing different ROMs is easy if you know what you're doing. Please read as much info on this forum from other users first if you're not experienced in doing these things. :)

One point of attention is the modem in the phone. It's a bit problematic. Flashing a new rom might knock out your second sim card or give you bad reception.

Hi. You need to do this:

1. go to Contacts - press menu button - fum menu press more features and settings - go to more contacts and feature - merge duplicate contacts.

2. After that you must do one thing that is hard iff you have to many contacts: edit contacts and put your country prefix in front of all contacts.

Hi, thanks for reply. I had an update and its sorted it thanks.

Still want to know how to flash rom from recovery (without pc) cheers
[Lenovo P780] casaben:
I hear you, also on Ubuntu, and although the latest version of SP Flash is supposed to work on Linux, didn't figure out how that would work, I guess it's command line messing.

So I got a Windows PC from somebody, sorry but that's the easiest way.

Unfortunately, P780 (and all MTK devices), are easy to flash so everyone is using that method.

Installing from recovery is not that popular, but there are exceptions.

Most of the time, you start out from a stock version, which you have now and backup, backup, backup that one. You'll probably need it if you want to install another ROM.

As far as I have learnt, there are a couple of ROMs you can install given that you have a stock ROM already running.

Either you stay on this forum, and you can try Life or Vibe, or you go to www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/serial-p/p780/ . Most ROMs there are recovery installable, and so suitable for your situation. So far, had no problems using ROW base with one of these.

vibeui.com (in Chinese, but apparently the 'official' Lenovo daughter site), offers Vibe 1.0 and 1.5 as recovery installable.

I've installed and played around with SLX, Vibe 1.0 and Vibe 1.5 (KitKat), all installable from recovery.

Although I tried to stay with Vibe 1.5 (because KitKat), I reverted back, mainly because:

- signal was worse than other ROMs

- I have a magnetic case working fine on stock but not at all on Vibe 1.5

- Battery drain problems, especially because of location services

- Location services not working for applications

- All in all, just a bit too buggy

SLX was the most pure Android I installed, but I missed the Lenovo specific additions.

In all honesty, I like the stock ROM after all, the Lenovo apps ans launcher, and settings are actually pretty good. I in fact like the Chinese stock rom more than the ROW (more settings, security app has more options,...), but a lot of stuff is Chinese, so no :)

One tip : on a stock version, install Xposed and the Gravitybox module, it's almost as good as installing another ROM. So much tweaking and modding, that I can customize whatever I want.
