Yes on 314. I was thinking of.flashing a old fw onto phone before.dual recovery again but this issue has been around for months and I really need to update my rom
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigersaid:
All I want is to be in recovery mode on stock fw 314.

When I turn my phone off and start it and waiting for the lightbar to show up for me to press either volume up or volume down several times to get into recovery mode, but my lightbar never light up and the sony loggo comes up and the phone starts normal.

I have also tried to go into recovery mode through my PC with USB debugging and ADB on on my phone and using an script and the phone just starts normal.

I have also tried an app called Quick Boot from Google Play but the phone starts normal.

My Phone:

Bootloader unlocked.

Rooted: Yes

FW: Stock 314. (I dont want any other than stock FW)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
ok I fixed mine, recovery did not support partition upon boot hence why it did not load
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benengyj:
I'm facing the same problems on .438 with an unlocked BL. Button presses doesn't work and the LED doesn't glow during boot anyway.

EDIT: Stupid question but is recovery lost after a FTF flash? Anyway, I solved my problem by running the XZDualRecovery installer. :)

My experience with the device so far is good, i like it. Got it (black version) from Vodafone with contract.

I'm using it for about 3 weeks now and in my clumsiness already dropped it twice (I know ....:o), but no damage whatsoever. :victory:

It does look as though the frontglass lays/is glued a tiny little bit crooked in the frame, but it's not noticeable, only if you look veeery carefully.

Second thing i noticed, which is buggin' me a little bit, is the volume down button isn't as clicky as the volume up button.

Last thing, i have had the "sd card unexpectedly removed'' (sandisk 64 GB) error quite alot lately. Yesterday i have replaced it with the one i had in my Xperia tablet Z and so far so good.

So i guess it was the card itself giving problems and not the phone.

As seen in my signature i'm rocking RomAur with Doomkernel in combination with gravitybox and it works great.

I still mis my Nexus 5 though as it's stil the finest phone i ever owned / used, but i'm turning into a phonefreak so next stop will, i think, be the Oneplus One :laugh:

EDIT: Oh yeah... i forgot. There was no dock in the box, only the noise canceling earbuds. That was very disappointing !!
[Xperia Z2 General] Cena99:
Nice Experience , mine i got it with KPN with 3Gb for 45 euro, but without minutes which sometimes i regret it :( . but anyone the phone is great and the battery amazing but one thing is bothering me that the screen edge from the right side has a gap , its small you can't notice unless u look closely but its there and i test it with water and no problem.. its great phone with 4G Lte internet..

Waiting one week allready for .402 to arrive in the Netherlands....
[Xperia Z2 General] Myrrhman:
The update was already there for me, but only through PC Companion. Might want to try that, or have you already ?
[Xperia Z2 General] pr0jesse:
working fine!

It's working great! I got it at coolblue with a T-mobile 2gb contract for 31 Euros per month and the Z2 was €12 (Yes i know!!:D) the only minus for me is the storage, ive got a 64gb sd card, but i cant put apps on it....

I want to root it and flash a custom rom, what for rom (and kernel) do you advise?
[Xperia Z2 General] brouwerchris:
still no update on both Update Centre and PC Companion,the waiting continues...
[Xperia Z2 General] Myrrhman:
It depends on your firmware. For now my choice goes to RomAur, which is based on .402.

But i'm anxiousy waiting for a stable and bugfree release of Carbon ROM (or maybe in the future SlimKat) :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] pr0jesse:
thanks!

Thanks! But what do you mean with .402?

[Xperia Z2 General] brouwerchris:
.402 is short for 17.1.1.A.0.402,the latest Sony update for Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Myrrhman:
Well, to be honest, i've never tried ART yet. But the N5 was still flying on Dalvik.

Had (stil have;)) SlimKat ROM on it with useally Franco kernel or Slim's own kernel.

Weird though that the Z2 doesn't support ART, weird choice Sony made there. :confused:

Thank you again! I only used a nexus (nexus 7 2 rooted :D) and a xperia arc s before (soft-bricked twice) so im new to Sony's rooting/unlocking/flashing process.

I got mine at belcompany (Vodafone) one week ago and it seems i have the 402 update.
[Xperia Z2 General] Myrrhman:
Yep, same here. Already have the update some time ago, but only through PC Companion (for me atleast).

Had to download it with the Companion and convert it to a FTF file with flashtool, because of unlocked bootloader.

Anyways, you guys are not the only ones ---> http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...A-0-402-start-rolling-out/td-p/690917/page/15

If not, it's getting ridiculous. Shame on your providers !

There's allready talk of a new update for the Z2 ----> 17.1.1.A.0.438 Certified for Z2 :eek:
[Xperia Z2 General] kurk_droog:
I need the T-mobile Dutch firmware version for the Z2, anyone?
[Xperia Z2 General] Myrrhman:
If you can download the update through PC-Companion, you can use this tutorial ---> http://ylnotes.blogspot.nl/2014/03/CreateStockFtfSonyXperia.html

to create a FTF file to flash with flashtool. It worked great for me.

Although it wil erase all your userdata. Or you can uncheck 'DATA' in the 'firmware Selector' window in flashtool before flashing, but i'm not sure if that is a good option.

I don't know why one wouldn't unlock their bootloader for something like this. Unlock it and then once you're finished, relock it

By the way, your caps lock is accidentally on. Just thought I should let you know ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rikonor:
Hi!

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I just can't find a definitive answer to this and I've been trying to search for an answer for nearly a week now.

My boss received a used Samsung Galaxy S3 from a friend of his in the states. It is a locked AT&T phone (SGH-I747) and it is on 4.3.

I managed to root the phone using CF-Auto-Root, which disabled Knox (whatever that is) and also installed CWM and was planning to flash 4.1.1 so I can unlock the phone using the *#NUM# method.

After reading a bit I've seen many people saying that you can't "downgrade" from 4.3 to anything else because it will brick your phone. Hence, I did not try and flash any other rom on the phone.

So I guess I'm just trying to get a definitive answer here because I can't find anything but rumors on this subject. I mean it's weird, I'd expect if you couldn't downgrade from 4.3 than it would be a bit more documented.

Has anybody tackled this problem with success?

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The normal method for the end user to conduct software updates and upgrades is via OTA or Kies. Using Kies or OTA doesn't require the end user to know about download mode, fastboot, or recovery mode. Samsung probably did not want non-technical users to brick their phones using download mode and Odin. It would be too easy for a non-techie to use the wrong firmware, tick the wrong options in Odin, etc.

I'm sure the fact that you cannot downgrade the bootloader has been well document by Samsung and its service centres. Based on the contents of my first paragraph, there would be no need for Samsung to advertise to the end user that the bootloader cannot be downgraded.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htc_softbank:
Right now there is no free way to unlock your phone if it's on 4.3.(you can downgrade to older stock android, but the 4.3 bootloader remains and messes up your phones IMEI until you go back to stock 4.3)

Anyhow, the reason you can't downgrade the bootloader is because there is no method discovered to do this yet. I ended up using gsmliberty to unlock, and they have a deal that you get a free unlock if you take a video when you unlock and upload it to vimeo/youtube using the format they request.

I did that and they re-funded me very quickly. So IMO this is the best "free" method until we can downgrade from 4.3 bootloader and do the 4.1.1 free unlock.

I was in the same situation, and I had to pay for an unlock code.

If you want to see me unlock it, here is the video: http://vimeo.com/96549806
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
What everyone else has said here is correct. You can't safely downgrade from 4.3 to free unlock - or free unlock by any other means for that matter once you are on 4.3. Your boss' friend would have unlocked prior to shipping the phone down but perhaps this was omitted. Your only options now would be to buy an unlock code online or perhaps the friend can contact AT&T to request the unlock code. If the device was off contract and is eligible for the unlock code, they would oblige the request. Otherwise, the code could cost between $18 - $30 online.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rikonor:
Thank you everybody.

I will use the service posted above.

I think it would be a good idea to make a sticky in this forum explaining that it is not possible at this point to downgrade from 4.3 (or is that just the boot loader).

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It is just the bootloader that cannot be downgraded, not the ROM.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
I use to have G2 and got a Flex right before the G2 got KitKat since I got a deal on it. The Flex development seems like it's dead already or never really took off. I'm just wondering if the G3 development will be as good as G2? LG is making it harder to unlock the bootloader right?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
No, the most powerful recognized developers in their monthly meeting in a secret location decided that the G3 will be ignored and all mentioning will lead to a permaban.

There will be no development for the G3!

Like the phone never existed.

It name equals to an iPhone in these parts.

....You can't predict those things :)

However the G3 is not a worth bump for most of the ppl in here.

Would say you should have stayed with the G2 in the first place.

But my best guess G3 will have a better future in here as the current Flex. Hopefully not as good G2 because I do not plan to go to the G3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
LoL. ^ I never keep any phone more then 6 months to a year if that. I'm a phone junkie and that's what I do plus I have Jump to use. I'll probably just do the same thing I did last year G2 to Flex. This year G3 to Flex 2. Or maybe even a iPhone 6. Haha
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeyd02:
Lol I would have to strongly disagree, unless you were indeed being humorous.

LG G3 will have an similar of not better development than g2 and Ohhh more recognition also.

So I searched for a partner for my nexus 7(2013) , all I wanted is a cheap small smartphone with a keyboard and an oled display mainly for chatting and listening to music.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
Don't know something about galaxy relay, but captivate glide is solid phone. There are Android 4.4 roms that support active display and lockscreen notifications (PAC and gtsarav's CM 11 edition). Very stable, minimum issues (Bluetooth headset is not working, Skype calls too, but there's workaround for second). Battery life is 5-6 hours of active web surfing, 3-4 hours of active gaming. In other words, it will last a day. I have spare battery for emergencies. OLED screen is a battery eater though.

I'm from Ukraine, bought this phone a bit used for a 1/4 price of galaxy S4 and totally satisfied.

Where did you buy it? how expensive was shipping?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
As I said, I bought it used, so it was from the auction-type market like ebay (in Ukraine it called aukro.ua ). Shipping cost was minimal (2$) because the phone was already in my country. The previous user travelled with the phone from USA, it seems. Maybe, I just was lucky.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JohnTheHero:
And what about missed calls problem? What baseband and rom are you using?

You can buy i927 on polish analog of eBay - allegro.pl, but I'm not sure if they ship to other countries, you would have to ask. Price is about 200$ + 10$ shipping (might be expensive to ship abroad)

EDIT: At least one of sellers agrees to ship abroad and BTW allegro and aukro have same owner.

EDIT2: after reading comments i think they are shipping from china so it might take up to 2-months to ship it to you, so you should search for another shop.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
Never had a problem with missed calls. Currently used latest CM 11 by bubor. Never flashed baseband specifically, so assume it's default one.

BTW, I bought it for 175$ a year ago. Of course, it was bit used one, but 200$ for this phone now is overpriced, I guess. Just looked at aukro and found a new captivate glide for 150$ with free shipping to Ukraine from China.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
maybe http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...glide&catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20140604113249 cheaper.

There are negative feedback on ebay too, so dont you trust ebay either?

You pay to aliexpress, and it releases your money to seller, when you click "received item".
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Turmnippel:
it's not actually the site I have a problem with. The sellers don't have good ratings and reviews, and I didn't say ebay is trustworthy either... I just dont understand why they are all coming from china, and there are many people who didn't get refunds or even the products from the site

Maybe I'll wait until I or a friend of mine are in the Usa, I just don't wanna get ripped

[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Yes.. I live in Germany and have and can recommend the Glide :cool:

Works like a charme for me (based on sediROM v1.0)

I bought it on eBay in the US. Well even it is a risc but paid via PayPal and choosed the fastest shipment to get it in paypal protection time.

I do not know this seller here (I bought from another one) but you could take a look on this (eypecially the user rating ;) ):

hxxp://ebay.com/itm/Samsung-SGH-I927-Captivate-Glide-8MP-Black-AT-T-Android-4G-Keyboard-Smartphone-/301011731256?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4615b28338 (replace the hxxp with http - sorry for that but XDA does not allow links for me)

if the above do not work search for the eBay item# 301011731256

You have other options like that of course when the seller do not deliver to Germany (the above does). You can use a import company which is very easy and not so expensive as one may thought. I haven't used that one here yet but I may need it in the next weeks to import a LG Optimus F3Q (nice phone but that is for my wife - I'm happy with the Glide). Take a look on them - again without any warranty but they seem to be trustworthy: borderlinx (as said sorry cannot paste direct URL)

You only need to ensure(!) that the package has a correct invoice available on the outer site(!) because otherwise it will get complicated at the duty!!!!

I bought it for 150 US $ plus 60 US $ delivery costs (sigh) plus (I believe) 20-30 € for duty

If you want to have a current Android phone with physical keyboard and you can live without special Umlauts keys that phone is the best IMO.

Hello guys,

I update my xperia zl to kitkat version (4.4.2), and it gets some issues like:

1) Camera app takes longer to start than when I had Jelly bean.

2)The settings Menu lags a hell lot..its really annoying because I expected an increase in system performance when I updated to 4.4.2.

3) Scrolling response isnt fluid and feels worse than before

There is a way to fix this issues? This problems happens to another models of xperia zl?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndreIrawan97:
Well, i agree with the first one... That's why i'm using Google Camera (from Play Store)

I think you need to enable the Force GPU Rendering on Developer Option on Setting... If you don't find the Developer Option, you need to tap 7 times on Build Number
